sebpv Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 what do you think about extending the wheel wells for a stock look? also any work done on the cab floor? 2 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We haven't touched the front wheel wells or the rear tubs at all. The rear tubs were cut a little up the inside to clear the notch, but that's it. The cab floor also hasn't been touched. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just purchased the exact same radiator to use on my ka24 swap. I plan on doing a similar tuck.... but it probably won't be as clean as yours. If I was in your area I'd drive down and have him do the same for me, it looks minty fresh! Even the hood rod curved to perfection. I love it. 3 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) So the truck got put on the back burner over the winter, but I've tried to do little things myself here and there. Couple things I messed with and got set in today was my box that I'll have the compressors and air tank in. Got nut serts in for easy removal of the tank/compressors, and holes drilled to mount box to bed as well as where the air lines will go out. Also put down some sound/heat deadener, got 620 seat rails to fit on the Shelby seats and set them in. Set the center console sitting in there to make sure it'll fit right. Getting close to driving this thing. Plan is to drive to Salem OR towards the end of July. Edited May 28, 2019 by sedition88 2 Quote Link to comment

Pictures of the process of cutting the core support, the panel in front, and how you rolled the sheet metal are what I am interested in. I very well might have to do this same thing to put a larger radiator into my 1973 620. I have modified the core support some already, but may have to do similar and want the modification to look real good like yours does. Don Edited July 10, 2019 by 620slodat 2 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I actually don't have any pictures cause I didn't do the work. I can ask how the rolled lip was done around the radiator cap. I do know only the bare minimum was cut to sink it in and the up/down support in the center was not removed either. 1 Quote Link to comment
620slodat Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Although you didn't have the information I was hoping for, I thank you for the reply and doing what you could. If you can get some information from the correct parties it would be very much appreciated. If they are not able to for whatever reason, thanks for trying. Don 2 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Got the notch cover done, nothing too fancy. 2 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 We are finally within a day of driving this bitch! Got my battery set up in the back of the truck, tank and compressors set, wired, and plumbed, and my gauge panel wired and set. Have one bulk head fitting that's leaking to replace and the final touches on the custom fuel tank that should be finished up tonight/tomorrow. Super bloody excited! 2 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Seeing that it's been 3 months since the last update shit didn't happen as planned. Had to replace the brake master twice, then found my tail lights didn't work, can't find the reason it runs rich so far, and it just randomly quite wanting to start. Pulled it into the shop to go over a few items, change the oil and injectors. Go to pull it back out and it just cranks/no start. Gets fuel but no spark. Seems to not be getting any power to the coil. Eliminated everything simple so we have to dig through the wiring and see what the hell happened. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 If your running real rich that could be the reason for the recent no start.... unless you in fact have no power at the coil.... Mine did that till I corrected the fuel pump psi and then the jetting.... but for me fuel pressure was the big thing..... Try fresh plugs..... Also you could bypass the ignition and temporarily put power to the coil from the battery and see if it starts.... this would tell you if the wiring or the coil was bad.... 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm for sure getting fuel. Plugs and wires are also new. I was planning on running a wire to the coil to check that as well Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I love the idea of using an ammo box for the battery, but I hate running battery cables through metal panels. Definitely use heavy grommets where the cable pass through. 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Found my issue. There's that grey wire shielding that we cut into to slice another wire and just a couple strands of it was touching the wire causing the damn thing to not start... Pulled the strands out of the way, used liquid electrical tape to cover the bare wires, and wrapped that. Still runs rough/rich. Unplug the new maf and it smooths out. Will have to do more tests on some sensors. And I still got to mess with the brakes some more. Think I'm getting air in somewhere. Quote Link to comment
