looking good , on the brake fitting , it is for a trailer brake controler , if you look it says tekonsha on it so your right in taking it out,
The 45 degree flares should seal up ok as long as the nuts engage enough thread. and again some very nice workmanship!!!

Thanks for the info and comments. That clears up the mistery.

Another intersting site for hardware and fasteners. Allensfateners.com I was searching for adel clamps and stumbled across the site. Looks promising.

Strodder · 02-25-2010, 12:57 PM

Man you did some crazy bends. Looks great.

I wish I could take credit for it. They are bought.

Getting ready to build the brakes in the rear.

The mod I did to the crossmember to make it work with 72 brake lines worked out perfect.

Shannon is bringing a bracket over tonight to mount the T on the rearend. Also talked to the Truck Shop and they will send out another front prop valve line to frame to replace the lumpy one.

my67chevytruck · 02-27-2010, 09:40 PM

Great mod on the rear, i did the same but didnt think about it until after it was painted
so i cut and bolted the bracket on. Looking good alan!

Shannon brought the bracket over and it worked perfectly. Got the wheel cylinders in and the rear brake lines buttoned up.

Lookin' good Alan!!!! Gettin' closer every time I check in to see whats up. Keep it going; you're almost there.

That's what I like about you Allan. Being honest.

If you try hard you can probably do it. But would it worth it?

jason65 · 02-28-2010, 04:03 PM

Looking good as usual Alan.

kizer · 03-01-2010, 02:15 PM

I haven't been around lately for one reason or another, but like usual Alan top notch work my friend.

I hope your not saving receipts for everything you buy because I bet it will scare you in the end.

4dranch · 03-01-2010, 11:55 PM

Alan,
very..very..nice. and real clean work on the lines.
Did you ever find that fitting you were hunting or decide on something else?

Thanks, I have no reason to lie about my limitations. Yes, I will be better with practice. But right now the cost would be enormous if I tried to do all my brake lines right now.

Thanks David, I went with a different fuel pump. That fixed the problem.

Shannon came over to supervise me on my 3rd attempt on the fuel line. Bending tubing is getting a little easier, but I've got a lot to learn. Practice, practice, practice.

Yours truely.

The line is done.

SCOTI · 03-02-2010, 02:19 AM

Nice progress. The rear lines look like a quality fit.... what manufacturer?

I ordered them from truckandcarshop.com. Each line comes tagged so you have a clue to where it goes.

Got my fuel tank from ??????? today. A couple issues that I PM'd him about. Overall pleased so far. A couple issues were my fault for assuming.

The correct wheel tubs came today.

Radiator saddles and upper clamps came in today.

MacAttack · 03-02-2010, 04:54 PM

Oh wow - that juice tank and coolant assembly are outrageous!

Not quite stock - eh, Alan?

Strodder · 03-02-2010, 05:34 PM

Yeah they look GREAT

ruffrida2005 · 03-02-2010, 07:52 PM

jsmithbm · 03-02-2010, 09:46 PM

[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3816433]Thanks Joel. Any time I learn something that looks easy usually proves me wrong.

I'll go check them out.

The wheel tubs seam to fit pretty good. No complaints.

I don't have much room to play when I fab up the fan shroud.

daverod · 03-02-2010, 11:47 PM

Your getting close to taking that thing for a drive.

Looks good.

ruffrida2005 · 03-03-2010, 12:11 AM

You going to leave those high speed fan straps?

198plus · 03-03-2010, 12:39 AM

Great job on everything as usual Alan

MacAttack · 03-03-2010, 11:31 AM

The tubs look sweet - and the power steering plumbing is primo!

This build's got to be made into an illustrated catalog - I'd pay $50 for it in a heart-beat. Best work I've ever seen, or even heard about.

Mac.
