well update time.
got some gas filler neck's and pair of tank brackets for pass side from member bsgreen
got the brackets cleaned up what little thay needed. then painted them up and bolted them on and painted them shut to the frame just like the otherside. help seal out the crap best possible .
then during the week i cleaned / super course grit scotch bright pad scuffed both new and reused tanks . wiped down with thinner for any loose crap left or grease from making the tank .
then got 3 big cans of transtar quickdry rubberized under coating . ( fyi 1 can barly got 1 short bed truck tank covered thats why 3 cans ) both tanks come out lookin real GOOD .
also got the 4wd 1 ton older style flat crossmember for tranny bolted in and then made riser to match up to the 2wd tranny mount. then removed the whole setup and painted it also .
got the line lock / anti roll bolted in place behind the front cross member and also got 1 line to lf hose made and installed. got to make store run for more line nut's and also rf hose needed yet. ( long story
) then going to rebolt the rear brake hose bracket to left side frame rail to get shorter / cleaner line system on truck .
STORY TIME : the long hard road to a right front brake hose .
1 time i was looking to clean up / reto mod my 2wd truck and needed new brake hoses . so off to the local parts store and ordered up what i needed as thay dont stock these anywere around here these days do to rusted out and gone mostly.
well day or so later i go pick up the hoses and get to the shop and unbox and check basic style and shape of hose's all looked good. so i get the lf hose on and tweeked a bit due to new 2.5" drop spindles caliper reposition to keep it off the upper ball joint no biggy . then i go to rf hose and notice new style caliper end . go and try to fit it on the caliper and it wont fit any way i can try it. get to looking and way off on style and no way it will fit. rest of the hose is perfect.
o.k. figure just made wrong goof up. he orders me a new hose again. still wrong end. then we try diffrent shipping center out of his area support and see what we get. even called on phone . shipped in and looks good . then i get to the shop and still wont fit the right direction . find out its a left hose in a right box.
so now he has 5 hoses 4 wrong end and 1 wrong side to return to his suport center. we called HQ and got the brake specialist and he is looking in to this problem and i ven sent him a pic of lf hose mounted so he can see why its wrong . also the online and store pic's show the correct hose . so this was what was getting use to think we need to call HQ.
so monday or tusday we should know what is going on . and fyi there is few stores in town and thay all are supplyed by same brand just in diffrent bag/box so if i ordered theres it would be wrong also more than likly.
ah the joy's of a 15 doller hose
fyi i should have just called ord and got set of braided ss lines made for few bucks more but oh well.
just the line lock not the switch .
