Top notch job! I also like the fuel pressure gauge tucked up in there.

That pickup turned out super clean!

**mongocanfly** · 05-03-2018, 07:21 PM

thanks outlaw!!!

StorminNorman · 05-04-2018, 08:15 PM

That's a nice build. Interested in how you routed the fuel lines ?

**mongocanfly** · 05-04-2018, 09:19 PM

thanks stormin....I just ran the lines inside the frame rails and came up the back of the engine...I used all -6an on it..you can see it coming over the coil cover in this pic

StorminNorman · 05-04-2018, 11:38 PM

Yes that's the area I was interested in . On mine Its a bit tight there with headers and the column shift linkage. How close is the hose to the headers ? what fuel reg are you using ?

**Dads79GMC** · 05-05-2018, 12:10 AM

Nice clean swap. I like the valve cover.....cover, is that what you'd call them. Anyway, they do a great job of giving you that clean look. Mike

**mongocanfly** · 05-05-2018, 12:22 AM

thanks Mike....
Norman, I have the fuel line fastened to the firewall where it starts to angle back...its a good piece away from the headers..i don't have the column shifter in my way though

**mongocanfly** · 06-14-2018, 09:46 PM

while going thru some old pics I found the only remaining pics of the old c30 from when I first got it..these were pics of the bed I pulled off...

**Advanced Design** · 06-16-2018, 12:31 AM

Wow, that was a serious bed!

**mongocanfly** · 06-16-2018, 01:34 AM

t was a monster for sure...and heavy....

**mongocanfly** · 06-20-2018, 09:18 PM

clutch linkage pics for macdaddy

**mongocanfly** · 04-09-2019, 02:06 PM

Added a grill emblem today ...found something close on Ebay.(https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CHEVROL...edirect=mobile).. thanks to help from the board...had to trim the edges a good bit and add 3M emblem tape but it looks much better than a painted emblem reccess...
Before and after

A little. I have been focusing on getting the 72 Burb ready for HRPT long haul after taking a couple weeks off to decompress. Plus getting the mowers etc ready to go for this season.....gotta get cracking on it though!

skyphix · 04-11-2019, 04:18 PM

Cool truck and it looks great! I always wondered how well a 6.0/4L80E combo would work in a 3/4 - 1 ton square body. 16mpg is pretty awesome for a 1t dually!

**mongocanfly** · 04-12-2019, 10:35 AM

Thanks skyphix!....
That 16 is only obtainable if you keep your foot out of it..haha

fordguy40 · 04-12-2019, 05:11 PM

Nice job on the swap and the paint...helluva work truck you've got there.

**mongocanfly** · 04-12-2019, 05:24 PM

Thanks fordguy!...

**mongocanfly** · 06-14-2019, 11:17 PM

Ran my truck across the scales today..it came in at 5680lb...

Ford Assassin · 01-05-2020, 11:19 PM

What year NV4500? Mine is the early version with the external slave hanging off the passenger side of the bellhousing.

**mongocanfly** · 01-05-2020, 11:27 PM

it is a 98 I believe...its the later one with the bolt on shift tower...but my bellhousing is advance adapters..with the clutch fork on the drivers side
