My New Project

[WisconsinHick1]

Made a little progress. I was able to get the inner fenders out and just see how the intercooler will fit. I know there will be more work to actually make it fit on the 2500HD chassis but happy to know the hood would close if I kept the clearance the same. Long road ahead.

Yes McGaughy's and yep they worked with Caltracs without an issue.

They will work with McGaughy's, but they will not work with DJM.

Made a little progress and was able to get the box off the 57'.

Also received a few motor goodies this week! Valley CP3 will no longer be there and both pumps will be up top in front.

Making a little more progress. Testing out how it will be having a walk off front clip. :thumb:





Now to start cutting up the floor of the truck so it will fit over the transmission.

Made some more progress last weekend! Just need to clearance the transmission tunnel a little on the inside and give the firewall a little love tap so it doesn't hit the sensor!

 

[WisconsinHick1]

I had to at least set the front clip on it to see how it would look. Yes its hung up on the transmission cooler a little up front that is holding it from sitting on the core support mounts.



Sunday I cut off the original cab mounts so after I get the transmission tunnel cleaned up I can set the cab on again and get my cab mounts welded in!

Such a cool project. Wish I had the know how to do something like this.

 

[WisconsinHick1]

New brake master cylinder and hydrobooster that will bolt into the 57'!


New windmill for the truck whenever its back up and running.


Two steps forward one step back. What I was originally planning on for body mounts won't work as I had hoped so time to rethink that part but I have ideas.

 

[WisconsinHick1]

Made some more visible progress. I spend a lot of time on things people wont see until it's complete lol. But the front tilt clip is making progress. I ordered my struts for it to stand on its own. Then I just need to finish the install of my hood pins to lock it down.

Here are a few pictures. I had to clean it up and haul it to my buddies shop that has help me out a lot on my trucks and built this motor for his open house. In about 3 weeks it goes to the suspension shop to get back halfed, 4 linked, and narrowing the 11.5" rear end! I'm excited to see it go but not ready for it to leave yet!
