Recent Truck Updates

Its been a few months since I last posted.. The truck is still at Horvath Hotrods.. They've been working on the fuel system and wiring for us.. On Monday they should get the steering column parts and brake/accelerator components. I'll do my best to get some pictures on here..

Here we are looking under the truck.. making sure everything looks right.

Sarah and her husband Nick were able to drop by the shop with us to check out the truck.

Fuel lines look good.. Nick and Sarah both gave a collective nod of approval..

Lots of loose wires inside the cab.. Trying to figure out where everything will run and to make sure we have all of the wires needed to power everything.

As for whats up next.. In a few weeks we should have a new custom built radiator coming in from Be Cool.. It's supposed to be able to cool up to a 700HP engine which is plenty of cooling power for us. Here are some pics of what it will look like.. This is for a Ford set up, but ours should have a very similar setup with the same dual fans & brackets.. On our radiator, the inputs/outputs (the tubes shown with the red tape) will be on opposite sides of the tank and it will be polished.. We can't wait to receive and install it!



Also, the AC (Vintage Air) has been ordered and should be here the following week. I'm a bit worried about putting in AC in the truck as it didn't originally have AC and requires some "fitting" as I've been told. We'll see.


I've also purchased new oak wood and trim for the bed and a sweet billet style dash assembly with Autometer gauges.. The dash assembly and gauges are the same as below.



The next few weeks are gonna be fun!
