    cucv needs a flatbed

    Pulled the turbo400 and 208 transfer case out today, finally had a nice warm afternoon on my days off. Tomorrow I will make patterns and cut out the steel sheet to box the frame and start welding. Also need to mock up the bellhousing and clutch linkage and figure out what else I need.

    Remote mount turbo thread.-progress and questions!

    Well you have enough room under there for 20 turbos, do you have room for the air inlet tube from wherever you put the air cleaner and the compressor output tube to get back up to the intake manifold?

    That looks really clean under there for an up north vehicle. Whats the barbell looking thing hanging off the back of the transmission?

    cucv needs a flatbed

    Thanks, it looks like somebody already replaced that stuff. I pulled the bellhousing, trans , adapter and transfer case apart the other day. Didnt get the T400 out yet. One of my friends interupted my progress by bringing over 2 hrs of welding for me to do - for which I will get no return...

    Remote mount turbo thread.-progress and questions!

    OK post some pics when you get something going. Im thinking new head gaskets and arp head studs would be good insurance. If egt gets to 1200 your probably starting to melt piston tops. Thermocouple in one of the manifold-header outlets is best. My 86 K30 6.2 needs a turbo but that will be...

    cucv needs a flatbed

    The sheet of 3/16 was $129 for 245 lbs so 53 cents a pound. At SSS steel Houston. The 4x3 24 footer was 73 cents a lb. 196 lb, $144 kind of high, I should have complained. Im gonna pull the T400 and np208 tomorrow, that will give me room to box the frame all the way fwd to the...

    cucv needs a flatbed

    Went to the steel yard today- got a 4x8 sheet of 3/16 steel. Decided to use 3/16 to box in the frame since thats the same thickness as the factory frame rails. 1/4 in is just too heavy- would be ok if this was a 2 1/2 ton truck. Also got 4x3 in x 3/16 tubing to lay on top of the frame rails...

    92 C3500 cab & chassis fuel capacity?

    Cool, I have to pump it out first- darn thing is full. And the tank I pulled out of my 86 CUCV today is also full. About 50 gallons of diesel I need to store in something. Trying to cram this tank in the back of the K30 cucv.

    cucv needs a flatbed

    Worked on it for a few hours today in shorts and t shirt :D Pulled the fuel tank- removed tank skid plate then pulled the 9/16 bolts that hold the front and rear brackets to the frame and dropped the tank. This is way easier than messing with the tank straps. Cut the ex pipes and...

    cucv needs a flatbed

    The mil bumper is kind of bent up, but its probably saveable so I will offer it up later Bottom pic of goose X-member. ---Yeah thats a big nut :) I spaced this hitch 3 inches forward of the axle centerline. I figured that would get some weight to the front of the truck and also keep the...

    cucv needs a flatbed

    It was sunny and warm today so I pulled the bed off my 86 M1028. This is going to be a working truck for me so im going to weld up a flatbed for it. Also will be adding a hoist on a rotating mount on the left front corner of the bed. Truck frame will be boxed with 1/4 in plate from...
