    Loving this build. This one is so me! On the water pump to Rad clearance I'd just trim that excess nub off the water pump with a cut off wheel. You just need enough to mount the pulley.

    Hey bud. The radiator cap and dryer over flow spout is like that because the radiator should be above the core support. Raise your it up. That will solve that problem and give a little clearance with the water pumping also. Looking goood.

    Ok, I might be crazy, and it might be pricey (hopefully you could source one secondhand), but I think this C60 needs _at least_ an 871 Detroit Blower, if not a 1071 Blower sticking out of the inevitable hood.... plus either a 66 step side bed, or a nice _simple_ and _clean_ flatbed made of a tube perimeter with wood floor, and just some stations /mounts to mount it to the frame....no backrack, no fenders, no boxes... just the perimeter frame, wood, and some round incandescent lights mounted underneath it. (I'd still prefer the 66 stepside though, but definitely the blower!! 😅)

    Usually those fans if you wire them opposite it will change the direction so you can have it a pull through fan or push through. Maybe flip the rad around and have the fan in the front. It will give you more clearance and the overflow nipple will be in a better spot

    Use the original 66 steering wheel, keep the character of the truck. You may have to weld a modern hub (Silverado) center hub into the vintage wheel to make it work though.

  • @MrGunPilot
    @MrGunPilot 15 днів тому +3

    It'll be interesting to see if your (formerly manual brake arm) pushrod pivot point leverage ratio works out with your (now power brake) booster. Manual brakes typically have the pushrod pivot point higher on the pedal arm to allow greater leverage,,,, your boosted master won't need as much leverage. Thus, the ratio can be much less for the boosted master, and as such will allow for much less pedal travel (as in modern vehicles).

    Just so you know, you should always try to make your brackets out of sheet _steel_ and NOT aluminum, as aluminum will stress fracture going down the road....it should be fine if you make 4 for all 4 mounts, but for future reference.... once it's bent once, it's work hardened, if it gets bent, or vibrates back the opposite way enough times, it'll snap

      Semi trucks use aluminum brackets. They're thicker but they use them. Probably varies with the type of aluminum you're using as well because just like steel not all aluminum is the same

  • @margraffsgarage
    @margraffsgarage 15 днів тому +1

    Hey there, love the progress on this thing. Its looking badass. Out of curiosity do you have to weld in a bung to the radiator for the steam port for use on the LS? Also are you thinking about shortening the frame for bed? If so that would look sweet and I would just fab up some extensions to the running boards to keep the flow to the rear wheel arch.

    • @Rustomod
      @Rustomod  15 днів тому +1

      I’ll probably use an adapter block for the rad hose like I did in my Buick for the steam port. The frame I’m kinda up in the air I think I’ll just leave it long so it kinda looks like the og truck with the long bed make a flat bed for at and add some tool boxes under it to meet the bottom step

  • @maineman11
    @maineman11 16 днів тому +2

    This truck is supposed to be a rustomod not a rustoperfect. I'd use that steering column the way it is, and just hang an air freshener off that column key location. I'd also install a small flat steering wheel instead of a deep steering wheel.

      Yes issue is the car balancer is a different offset then the truck one so you can swap everything but it would be a lot of work to change it all you can run a Camaro pump on a truck with water pump spacers tho I did that on our Buick build

    I don't understand why you just didn't use the old c60 steering column. Yeah you might have to do some modifications. But i don't see why it wouldn't work out in the end.
    If i was you i would take a good look at the original and think on it a few days. They all work out the same. Also you could still use the original wheel if you did that.
    I'm just the kind of guy that likes to use what I have, so to save money. Seen a couple of places you could of done that. But oh well.
    Still hoping that you're going to do some metal work on those fenders. Those are kinda mug ugly definitely in need of some heavy metal work. Personally i hate them big flares!

      @Rustomod you may be able to cut it down. That's what I would try first.
      I have seen other guys do that. But you will have to weld a new end on the bottom of the shaft.
      Another thought would be to find a c10 one.
      But first I would try to shorten it. That's if that is possible.
