Re: 1961 Crew Max

The boost tube kit was a universal aluminum kit from ebay. It came with everything needed and was more than enough. We used 3" cast aluminum 90's at the intercooler and tig'd it all together. It was thicker tubing at 2mm. I then ordered separate hump style silicone couplings to make the connections at the intercooler and turbo. The lower water hose is cast aluminum 90's with a piece of 2" aluminum piping.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

The pipes look great. Will the hump style couplings give enough flex for the vibrations? The inner fenders like that will give you a great spot to put tools when working on the truck.

I believe the hump style couplings will give the piping some room to flex. yes A flat style raised inner fender will be a nice area to set random stuff when working on it. Beer,tools.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Looks super!
Cant understand how you can have more room for the brake MC than I have though :-) I actually bought the same Wilwood unit. I'll make it fit.

Is your D-max from a van? That would explain less room as everything is coming forward from the back of the motor. If the only thing in the way is boost tube and maybe glow plug module then just relocate as needed. Build is looking great. Just make it fit.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Some progress from today. Got new front fenders at portland swap meet for $350 last weekend. Overall fit is pretty good at door jams. Had to cut front of passenger rocker as it was sticking out to far for alignment. Only areas that will need some massaging are front lower corners were they meet the core support. I think we might weld the seam at the front between the edge of the grill and fender. The pinch welds are not great were they joined the two pieces. Also tried to fit the hood I planned on using and the back brace is really bent like someone was standing on it. Option either cut a brace out of another hood I have or find another hood. It has very little rust but has dents. Thanks CHIZZLER.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

WOW just went through your build and one word (AWESOME).. Takes a lot of creativity to tackle something like that, awesome sheet-metal work.. I'm usually not a big fan of lowered trucks cause I like the 4x4's but that is going to be a one of a kind custom truck.. and I also love your garage the outside of it with the ole barnwood...and the corrugated metal at the bottom..I'll be watching this build....

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Made some progress over the weekend. Got the 14 bolt sf back from being narrowed. Had it cut down to 60" with the brakes. Went pretty smooth using captain fab's weld on trailing arm mounts. Great fit. Only thing we had to do was cut the PB lower shock mount bar and bend a new piece and weld it back in the middle. Pumpkin size is bigger and was hitting. Fuel tank will be next and going to replace the back frame section with some 4x3 steel and connect the back together. I was able to send the axles to dutchman and have them cut down and re-splined. Thanks CHIZZLER

Did they just cut and weld the axle tubes in between the center section and the backing plate flange?
