Cleaned up all the grinding residue, scrap metal dirt off the shop floor this morning, added quite a bit to my scrap metal pile I need to haul to the scrap metal recycler and filled half a trash can with dirt, slag, and other debris from working on the truck.
I worked out placement of the radiator today and what I need to pickup to get the base mount built for it. Still a little fuzzy on the upper support on how I am going to make it. but I plan on having the upper/sides come out as one piece and spanning the width of the bed. The sides will bolt up the side of the bed and help tie the bedsides together.
We also worked on the front bed panel, I had originally planned on keeping the tube at the top, but it was so bent up and I couldn't get it straightened to where it looked good, so I ended up cutting it off and then welded on a 1 1/2" wide strip at the bottom of the panel so it would be long enough. That's about all I was able to accomplish today on the truck.

Worked just a little while on the truck this evening and got the front bed panel installed and bolted on.
I figured out how I'm going to mount the radiator, I'm going to build a u shape out of 4" c channel and attached it to the bottom and the bed sides, then I'll add in a support bar along the front to attach the radiator mounts too it. I also need to figure out how I am going to mount the two radiator coolers to it as well. I'll pick up several feet of 2" strap while I'm there for the coolers to mount on.

Found a hydroboost setup out of a wrecked 98 dodge 1 ton today at a local salvage, so I have that piece of the puzzle that I've been missing for the brakes.
Finally sold my RV that I've had for sale for the last 3 years, they picked it up this evening. Also got the final race schedule posted to the website today as well, we have 11 MAMR points races this season and Tulsa Raceway Park is having 2 Mud Fests, but nobody is sure what they mean by that yet, the details are still being worked out.
On the truck front, Finished cutting and welding the sides onto the radiator support I've been building. Got it all welded up and sat it in the truck with the radiator on it and trying to visualize the rest of it. I also have to figure out how I'm going to mount the transmission coolers to it as well. My big one is going to cross over the edge of the radiator some.

Today I ordered my rear fenders for the truck from Fenders N More for 150.00 each, should be here in a little over a weeks time. I also ordered all the things I needed from Vintage Power Wagon for the cab. I went ahead and ordered a transmission tunnel for the truck instead of trying to make one, so that will be done when it gets here. Other things I ordered from there were door handles for the passenger door, windshield and back window molding, the lacing for the hood area.
In the shop, I worked on the radiator support/trans cooler setup. Picked up some 1/4" neoprene gasket material and used that to make padding on 2 sides of the radiator.
I also notched out for the lower radiator hose with the cutting torch.
Been trying to figure out how I'm going to mount the two trans coolers
My son welding up the right support brace for the radiator/coolers
The right support bracket installed
Got a new phone the other day and was playing with the camera and took this panoramic pic

lol, yeah. That's the tire that I knocked off the bead at the last race when I hit the wall on the way out of the pit, still has some mud in the bead. Need to take it off and have the tire taken off and the insides cleaned up on it so it will hold air again for more than a few days.
I'll probably get around to it a day or two before the first race.

Busy weekend around here. Changed the oil in my wife's avalanche, put seals in the step daughters transfer case, new u joints on the rear driveshaft, a new thermostat and I've got to get the front driveshaft rebuilt with a new slip joint. Also pulled a chevy 4.3 engine out of the a rolling frame I have because I sold it to someone I know.
But I did manage to get a little done on the truck as well. We went to T town Sat evening and picked out the paint for the truck. The fenders are going to be gloss black and the body will be Glow Orange. 3 out of 4 of us voted for it. I finally managed to get the window regulator and most of the broken glass out of the drivers side door and actually have that door shutting well now.
I finished the bend over on the passenger side bed side so I have a flattened flange on the back to mount the crossed support bars. I'm going to have to cut some of that boxed piece out and replace it, it's all bent in and twisted on that back side.
I also managed to get one fender filler panel welded in, still need to cut out the other side and weld it in and then grind all the welds down.
Oh and if you haven't seen "Lone Survivor" you need too. Damned good movie.

Made it out and worked on the truck today. Welded up all the openings on the transmission tunnel. After looking at it, I'm not going to notch that driver side hump out of it, I don't think it's going to get in the way, it's further back than I thought it was.
Started trying to figure out my brakes and pedals tonight. I think I finally have it figured out. I'm going to have to bend the brake pedal and straighten the bend out of it, because it's going to have to go on the left side of the steering column and the gas pedal on the right. In the 96, they were both on the right side. I stuck some 2" pipe along the path of where the steering column will be located.
That outlined circle on the firewall is where my air should come through to route it between the w2a intercooler and my intake manifold. It's going to be a tight fit.
Also managed to get that other fender opening filler panel cut out and just need to do some trimming on it for the final fit.
I got the tracking number on my fenders today and they should be here tomorrow night, I'm hoping they are what I have been planning on.

Not much accomplished tonight, got the template made for the passenger side inner fender and got it cut out in sheet metal. Still need to finish drilling the holes and I need to pull the fender off and clean all the threads on it.

Take 2 on the drivers side floor board. Found out that the board doesn't go down in the groove, it goes on top. Guess the groove is a left over from when the military versions had wooden floor boards.
