Just get a standard blower motor and put it in your heater setup. They only cost like $20 i think. Put one in my blazer a while back and looks very similar.

K10: Built HP60/241-205 Doubler/tons of tube

I've been doing prep work on the floor this week and with some help from my dad we got it all finished this morning with just enough time to put some bed-liner on before heading over to Thanksgiving stuff.
It's Duplicolor spray on bed-liner and it turned out great! It took 4 cans to do all of this plus the panel that bolts in over the center. Ended up with about 3 coats.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Does that stuff get un-gooey? I have used some undercoating stuff once that never got un-gooey out of the can.
Yeah it sets up pretty decent. I've used it before. The rubberized undercoating is different. This one is an aerosol can of bed liner.
That turned out really well it looks like. Hopefully it will be durable.
It set up nicely. I sat on it tonight while working on stuff and it's all dry. It isn't rough like sandpaper but does have some grip to it.
We knocked out some stuff today starting with pulling the fuel cell and all of the old feed/return/rear axle breather hard lines along the passenger side frame rail. I'm going to run the new lines on the driver's side away from my exhaust and just wanted to get the old lines out in case I wanted to mount stuff on the frame down the road.
I pulled the mechanical fuel pump and bolted up a blingy chrome block off plate (all they had at napa
)
Next we set the engine to TDC on #1 and pulled the carb and distributor.
So I ran into my first snag. I need to find a throttle cable/TV cable bracket that works for a factory TBI setup. I'm sure there's a million of them out there, just need to track one down. Otherwise it all looks good.
Every once in a while you catch a break on stuff and tonight was my night! The factory mount for the computer that ran my smog carb is PERFECT for the computer that runs my new TBI setup. It fits nice and snug and even has the right slots in the side for the plugs.
I ran the harness through the factory hole...
...and got this cool split grommet that fits tight around the loom of the harness once the plugs were all through the big hole in the firewall.

hmmmm, i missed when ya said you where going tbi..... cool...
I would put some mats down on your floorboards if you wernt already.
That duplicolor stuff scratches off pretty easy. I did part of my floors and my bedsides and a shoe with some sand or grit on it would scuff the paint off.

Looks good! That computer fits perfect because it is in the same housing as the factory TBI one 
Yep, ordered a kit from affordable fuel injection. Should beat the crap out of my old carb.
I have mats that go in there...
I didn't get much progress done today on the truck but managed to track down two key pieces. I drug my dad to Pick-N-Pull and we lucked out on some stuff. I found a stock small block TBI bracket that holds the throttle cable and TV cable where it needs to be for $6! Next we found a truck with the same big block radiator I swapped in a while back and took the top filler panel off so I can make that work on my core support to fill in the big gap on top of my radiator, it was cheap too, under $10 IIRC.
Then when we were walking down one of the rows I spotted an NP241 under a '88-'94 chevy that was already pulled and taken apart. It looked brand spankin' new inside the case. All of the plastic bushings and shift fork pads looked like they'd never been slid around and the chain had absolutely zero wear on it so I grabbed the chain for my dad's blazer since I need to replace it sometime soon. The guy rang it up as a timing chain since that's all he could figure out and we got it for $10.
I guess it couldn't all be good. I broke one of the stupid little plastic ears off my TV cable when taking it off the old bracket. I was really careful but as soon as I moved it, it snapped. I'll see if I can find a shorter one anyways since with everything in the new correct location for the TBI it's a little long.
A quick search shows the cables are terribly expensive so that's good.
The bracket works though.

DUDE!! I probably need a whole case of that same year. Doh
For your dually? They're plentiful out there right now.
There were some big block trucks so you should be able to find one with 32 spline input.
Looking good Avery!

Who makes the DIY tube bender you got?
http://probender.com/
It's a really cool setup and good bang for the buck because it uses standard pro tools dies. Some cheap benders don't use a standard die so if they go out of business you'd have to figure something else out.
I've only ever bent vertically since my friend has the same bender but I have to say I like it. It's easy to keep the tube where you want it without it wanting to flop all over the place on long multi-bend parts.
