Sudo Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Impala- Got any pics of the e-fan set up? I know, I know, after all the fabulous fab work you did, some n00b comes along and asks some stoopid question about some e-fan. But hear me out: I'm planning a L20B swap into my 67 520 ( http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=17385 )and instead of chopping firewall I'm thinking "push e-fan" on the outside of the rad. Looks like thats what you have so I'm askin for specs, pics, and thoughts if you got em. Which fan is that? I'm over at flex-a-lite.com looking at stuff. Tryin to get a plan together. Sorry to hijack. I love your truck, envy your fab skills, and admire your dedication. Quote Link to comment

Sorry to hijack. I love your truck, envy your fab skills, and admire your dedication. thanks,it is just a cheapie 10"fan,i had to put a small notch in the grill support for the fan motor to clear and i hooked up a electric relay/thermostat for it,pretty strait foward,seems to work well so far:) Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I love the seats, exactly what i would what for my truck. Are they VW seats? Carpet also looks good, is it automotive carpet or just regular cut to size? Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 That interior is beautiful. Old skool black & red!:cool: Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Oh man this is nice! I love a black and red combo!!! I was thinking of something similar for the '59. Quote Link to comment

Carpet also looks good, is it automotive carpet or just regular cut to size? thanks,they are VW seats,it was a 64 karmann i think,they had another one there if anyine needs a set,the carpet is auto grade,no backing so its a little easier to work with than a home grade Quote Link to comment

Thanks for your info they are 6",space was tight tho,i want to switch it up to a custom strut/piston style setup,but i dunno if i will or not Quote Link to comment
Tdatsun1971 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks, I too have wondered about the stut type bags or air cyls. they are smaller around, but they dont get much lift. Only 4" or so. I have also thought about a custom loop set up above the upper control arms but this could be more challenging than its worth. thanks , troy Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Nice!! Red & black always look good together. Tdatsun- i too am thinking of running a setup like you described by running the bags above the upper arms. Sorry for the hijack Impala. Quote Link to comment
