84 Chevy Crew Cab 12v Conversion

Well sense my last update I started running brake lines and got the fuel lines ran back to where the fuel tank will be. Also sense my engine is an industrial I was going to run some electric fans sense the fans for the industrial engines is huge. But it turns out that the dodge fan hub and fan will work with a of the industrial parts on the front so I've been getting that ready. Have not touched the truck in a couple months, almost done with school so I hope progress will pick back up soon. Also been thinking about putting a flat bed on this truck.
 
It was, but I decided to put a second gen radiator in it. I guess I did not post pictures of that. I'll get some new pictures of stuff soon and post them. Should be messing with it some time this week. A buddy of mine is sending me a custom water inlet because the stock industrial Inlet points down and I needed it to come out of the side but still be able to use it as a lower alternator mount.

Not yet. Finished school and got a new job so that will speed some things up. Working on some other things right now. Should be done with them pretty soon.
 
Well I messed with the truck a little bit. Here is a picture of the second gen radiator setting close to where it needs to be. It needs to move up a little bit. But I'm not sure what kind of hood clearance I have so I will finish mounting it up once I get the body back on the frame. Sorry for the picture, my phone and photobucket get confused and upload them sideways and I have no way to rotate the pictures after upload on my phone.

Here you can see the new water inlet. Still need to weld a bung in the side for a heater hose to hook up to.

I have a 79 CC Chevy with a 12 valve, you will definetly benifit from boxing the frame, I had to go back and do it later. Also, for pulling an engine driven fan is better than electric IMHO

Awesome job so far

Thanks man! I need to get back on this project. Have not had much time to work on anything and when I do I'm usually doing some things to my 08 mega cab that I got a couple months ago.
