Update: So the coolant issue seems to be fixed . New radiator and coolant and seems to be working good .
Thanks for all the help guys . And I appreciate the words !

Next issue at hand . Hydroboost !
Peddle is just sticking to the floor when running and when off it would build the pressure up .

 

Update: brakes are working, not the greatest, but working.

And today Is the first day since 07 that I have driven the truck ! Time to button up the small things and get her off to paint ! Getting close !

 

updates?

 

Hey Aaron, on your brakes do you still have the abs block under he cab? I couldn't get my brakes to come up on my hydroboost setup and it ended being air trapped in the abs block. Once you get air in it the only way to get it out is with a tech2.

 

sorry for the lack of updates fellas. just got my wheels in and after buttoning up a few things it should be off to paint. I will post some progress pics soon.

and thanks Daniel. the brakes will work but are very soft. im going to have it hooked up to tech 2 as soon as I can find somebody that has one.

 

Back at this thing. Got the air and fuel lines about 90% done and made some fuel cell clamps . Slowly but surely getting this thing wrapped up..

 

I was able to get some work done these past few weeks. Upper and lower shock mounts, raised bed floor mounts and air line ran. Completed step one in replacing the driver bed side . (The original one had a lot of bondo on it) so I picked up a used bed for 120$. Had a wrecked passenger side so it worked out.

 

 

Got the coolant tank mounted and plumbed up this evening. Moved the tee for the heater hose a little further down stream as I didn't like the hard curve it had to make with the new 5/8 hose going to the tank. Seems to be fine. Here's a few pictures and I threw in a teaser of the new shoes... lol

 

Looking good. Had never seen that style intro with rivets the look good too
