well????? where are they?????????

 

Well I got some more done today...

I should have taken better pics of how I got the clutch master installed and working, but I was greasy and working hard so no pics..

the gist: I took the braket off my '92 that the master was bolted to, and had to cut it down some and then I had to weld the bracket under the dash of the '85.. it worked out great.. and there is NO new pressure on the firewalll so I do not have to worry about the pressure cracking the firewall like I have seen on other conversions..

 

I also put the correct front tires on the truck, and man these fender covers work very well

 

Here is the gooseneck hitch that I am gonna use to make one for my bed

these pics so it open, closed, etc

 

Here is a test piece that will be going in the truck..the final one is still being made..

it is an all aluminum shifter

 

make sure and lube that hinge pin in the hitch . i have had them stick in the down position from lack of use over winter.

 

Well I wanted to see how the paint color that I choose for the truck would look so I painted the bed today..

it is lighter then I thought it would be.. but good enough for me

 

Lookin' good!!

 

looks good

 

Well got the exhaust on..

I bought a muffler from a fellow DTR member..

M110189

it has a 4" inlet and outlet so I had to modify that to work with my 3" exhaust.. down the road I will get all 4" pipe, but I just need to get this truck running and I wanted it to be a lot qiuet then it used to be..

here is pick of where exhaust exits


showing muffler from the rear


you can kinda see how big this muffler it is


this pic shows how I had to modify the 4" into 3"

 

IT RUNS

Awsome, when do you finish the paint?

 

I painted the bed friday..

if i can get out of work at decent time tonight I plan to paint back of cab so I can get bed back on truck this week..

once I get bed back on, I will be driving the truck to work

so list of items to get done to drive it: is fix fuel pedal, hits floor at 3/4 throttle, connect wires to fuel sending unit, fill tranny and transfer case of fluids, and get rear driveshaft in.. all these little things will be done this week..

 

Well Since we may have a hurricane heading our way I decided I better paint the back of truck so I can get bed back on..

 

Well got the yoke off.

Used a BIG pipe wrench to hold yoke and a cheater bar to break nut free.

So I got driveshafts in, got 4x4 shifter in, and got bed on truck..
