84 CHEVY CREW CAB DUALLY PROJECT

thanks man! your lucky getting tags ..i will get there.....i see what you did on your mounts but i read in your posts that you had to sacrifice your engine driven fan. ive had bad luck with electric fans and i like the reliability of the stock fan so i guess i will live with the firewall clearance ....im jelly that you are driving yours...

thats a nice mod , i am running slightly different mounts that are covered in metal so i think they can only fail to a certain degree...maybe..lol

and these are the part that bolts to the cummins, and im using grade 8 stainless 7/16" bolt through the mount

did some bodywork last night, cut the rh cab corner out got the new one welded in and patched the pass. side rocker ...and started working out the body drop seam on the back of the cab..

more body work ughhhh....... the northeast is really hard on these old squares.



christmas came early up in this bitch! got my fuel tank today from alumitank! this company is awesome i designed a tank and they built it and shipped it and the turnaround was 7 days!!!

got this old peterbilt fuel cap on ebay used and polished it up to go on the new tank.

this is where the tank will go inside the bed it will hold 50 gallons

that tank is awesome.....how many gallons does it hold? and if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost?? i would like to ditch the dual tanks in mine.

thanks , it holds 50 gallons, it is 16" diameter by 60" long and has three pipe thread bungs in the bottom one for feed one for return and the last for tank drain it cost 550.00 but i think it was well worth it and its built sooo nice , i decided not to go with a sending unit, i wanted a clean look so i will just check the level by popping the cap and looking in

i seen gascaps with a fuelgauge in it once it used a float on a piece of chain pulling the gauge towart empty , dunno might still be able to get sumtin like that

thats a cool idea ive never heard of that! i wonder if it could be added to a cap with some machine work

my friend tim came over yesterday to motivate me to fit the nose back on and work on the fenders..he is a genius with bondo..
got the fender arc sliced up with a cutoff disc



cut a 31" arc outta the inside of fender for clearance


got the cut piece in place i ended up raising it 1 1/4" and cut most of the guts outta the inside but left some bracing in, its still pretty rigid

grinding...

welded in with filler plates made ..

first coat of bondo...

looks good i didnt knew you had to cut the outside part of the fender to fit 22's

btw i did a little googling and found this

it isnt that expencive either
