Parts are on the way for the trans rebuild... Got a drum, and am awaiting a set of BWHE clutches & gaskets.

While I was in the mood to spend money I don't have.... I ordered these:









...and TWO of these:






While I await that arrival, I'll be taking the tanks down & drafting a wiring schematic for pump power. This should eliminate my fueling issues from now on. Going back to the vac mod for the trans. Trans pressures set back to stock (were lower than stock.... not good either).

Hope to have a functional pickup truck by October 1st. Then I can concentrate on air conditioning... just in time for fall/winter.

 

Awesome

 

Right after I posted that, the mail man showed up... with these!







Now... That came from California (Zip 92392), and I just ordered that at 4pm yesterday. That's EXPRESS mail. SUs should be here by Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll have some 3-4 clutches in by then. Going to try and drop both tanks tomorrow & next week. I'd take the bed off, but I really don't have the real estate to do so.

 

Haha, I was thinking "why was he putting dual pumps in a na truck??" then I remembered, HE HAS 2 TANKS!,

 

Time to Git 'R Dun


that is what i keep saying to

 

Well, since my Xbox360 died today & Grammatica lost the game for the Saints... I took the frustration out on these (see below):




Had 'em both on the ground in an hour's time!

 

you always brag about how fast you take stuff apart. it sure is a lengthy process getting it all back together!!

 

I don't braaaaaaaag about it. Everyone just talks about how it is better to take the bed off, but this was rather easy. And yes, it will take a little longer to put it back considering the hoses slipped off easily since the tanks BOTH had more than half-a-tank's worth of fuel. Of course, it'll take longer to actually "fasten" the lines back.

Never a rush to put it back. Gotta make sure I drink enough beer to make it RIGHT!

 

sorry. i tried but i couldn't fight the urge to make a smart remark. it's a sickness i have. i would still love to see your truck though. that is my favorite body style.

 

Trying to get it ready for cooler weather. My alma mater's homecoming is a few weeks away. I've been tasked with bbq'n, which means I gotta haul my pit on campus for tailgating. Truck's gotta be done by the first week of October.
