Man i'm stoked about that wilwood mc. Thanks for the info. I'm going to go ahead and order one.

 

thanks

thanks edward. i originally wanted it bagged and bodied with stock frame and motor. just a basic truck to cruise around in. it just snow balled a little lol.

man james i wish. maybe i'll have it ready for cruise to the pines

i'm really liking it as well. although i'm sure i'll struggle to set up the brake bias lol

 

Oh Dude, I totally understand the Snow ball effect. Especially with the 70's truck that you can't buy drop spindles for. Mine started simple bag and TBD... Yeah thats not that simple...

 

awesome progress. i really like that wilwood mc as well, looks like i'll have to watch Predracer's thread to see how he installs it lol

 

looks sick!

 

Nice! One step closer....

 

Oh man all stainless lines air and brakes, block manifold to boot. That thing is gonna be dope! I know you got a ways to go but can someone say FRONT COVER MT MAG!!!

 

Why did you put the valves inside?

 

thanks guys!

i put em inside for a couple reasons. i wanted the manifold out of the weather, i didn't want it cluttering up the rear of the frame since i'm going with an open bedfloor, and i didn't want front bag lines running on the rear rails (again it looks cluttered). with the valve where it is there will be one line from the tank, and one to each bag coming from under the cab. then a brake line, and i'm hoping to cheat the fuel system and only have one line for it on the back half. all wiring will be hidden as well.

 

today i ran the rear bag hardlines, and the tank to manifold line

 

Makes sense to put them in there then. U gonna run silencers?

 

Clean man, looking good

 

no i'm not planning to. the manifold is quiet, and the dump lines go out of the cab. if it's too loud i'll run the lines further away from the cab most likely. also if it dumps too fast i'll install caps on the dump lines with a small hole drilled out.

thanks

 

Hey im planning a trip up to arizona in a couple of months and would love to swing by and check out the ride.

 

maybe i missed it, but have you started running exhaust yet? are you going to use the stock log headers or fab something else up?

 

So much awesomeness in this thread, thanks for the great technical pron.

 

I really like the floor pan/back of cab work with the valves...very slick.

 

Love your truck
