Building My Dad His Dream Truck Part 4

fenders, let's put the hood hinges on and then put the hood on. Now I'm going to help you. I don't want you to damage any corners. I have this side right here. Kenny, oh, that was close, man. We already have the hood hinges on we're about to see how it closes and see all the gaps oh yeah, we're definitely going to start lining some things to see if we can get close. I can almost get up. I think those shocks are definitely made for a super heavy steel bell, but they'll probably work, let's see how well it lines up on this side, is it a little close right there?

Oh yeah, definitely.that fender probably needs to come out right, yeah, the fender comes off or this hood needs to go over a little bit, let's see, yeah, yeah, the hood definitely comes out right, but it's almost perfect with a little more fit and I think we'll be good at all of this. lining up and then what else comes after that? What else is it? Once we have all of this lined up, we can start doing the front grill and things like it's going to be sick, let's keep moving guys, so I just realized we actually have two of these.

Passenger side

part

s, which sucks, but it's not a big deal, it just happens that we're going to go ahead and take care of that right now and order another one, but as for the rest of the

truck

, everything is falling into place, we hit some of these. plastic trim pieces here just to see how well the hood fits and that's basically exactly how it is at the factory or I mean at the dealership they have that gap right there so we're just lining everything up it's basically coming together, It's going to look so sick, it looks just like we imagined, you know what I mean, it looks like a 20/20 conversion, you know, like a 20/20 conversion right here, but there's a lot of pieces that we're still missing, As you can see, we have our List here what we're writing as a bunch of brackets behind the grill.

I think there's a bracket that goes right here under the headlight, and then we'll probably have to go ahead and order headlights, we might not use the black edition. because they're too expensive for us a hundred dollars, I don't know if it's worth it, maybe we'll go with some nice ones, you know, the exact same headlights, but they won't be black, they'll just be chrome. with its silver color or whatever there it still looks, yeah, it still looks great because they have LED strips along the sides that look great on the new

truck

s, so we have a list we need to sort through, But for now, friend.

What else should we do? Let's start testing the cooling system. We have a radiator there. We also have a capacitor. We do not have the intercooler. We're going to have to ask for it. Yes, because we just noticed that the intercooler. it's actually right here so we'll probably have to order that sucker and we may have to order new intercooler lines because I doubt the ones we have will go where we need them to go, you know what I mean, but For now, let's move on go ahead, let's put the condenser on that radiator and then let's put that radiator on the truck, so we just throw in a radiator and convince it to fit in there nice and snug, just like we should be looking at. our own radiator here and as you can see it's a lot bigger and we were measuring it and it's exactly a hundred square inches bigger and the reason this one is smaller is because they widened the front as you can see on the skirts here just go straight , the old ones kind of curved inwards and they also introduced this big grill right here that produces a lot more airflow, so I think we're going to be good with the coolant temperatures, right, oh yeah, definitely dude, as you can see, this one girl it's a lot bigger on the fins on this grill, like pushing air directly into the radiator, so we should be fine there, yeah, and as you can see, this is our old unit here as well, this is a condenser and a transmission cooler integrated into one, all of these coolers here are separate, which means we will also have to buy a transmission cooler separately and we will also have to buy a new one of these.

This is our power steering cooler and this one is bad now I think. It's going to be a little bit different and we also have to buy all the lines, right, yeah, we have to make sure we get all the lines because I'm sure they're all going in different directions now because of the wider front end. things like that I realized that the capacitor, the capacitor lines that we have here will not go to this store convinced, so we definitely have to buy those lines, but what's next? Oh, look at our list, buddy, yeah, this is getting bigger, buddy.

We thought we were done, but look, I'm even running out of space here, we have all kinds of little things we need to sort through, but I mean, it's all coming together and we're learning a lot in the process. What we're going to try to assemble is probably our trays right here, the battery trays, yeah we have to see if they work, I mean if we can modify them no problem or if we can get some new ones but I just don't know. However, since I don't know how all these things are going to bolt on, because that ABS system actually bolts to the tray, it's that tray, so the new one does the same thing, we're just going to buy some new ones, yeah, exactly, so 'Let's try it, we'll try to mount this stuff here and then we'll go from there, okay guys, we finally installed this battery tray, it actually fits pretty well, we had to cut a lot, but look how it looks. like it should be there, but you know, one hole lines up here and the other doesn't, so we might have to drill another hole and put a bolt in there, but dude, that looks factory right there, yes sir, actually They moved everything this way, you see how.

It cleared a lot of space here, that's very good there and right now I'm going to jump over to that side where battery tracing should be a lot easier because there's no fuse box in the ABS system. so let's go ahead and do that side and that should be fine so we just close the hood just to see how well everything lines up after moving those aprons around a little bit because they're still loose and they still look perfect but Look at this com

part

ment engine guys check that out buddy we have both battery trays in the air box the fuse box looks almost OEM it looks like it should be there but some things may change along the way because we are still learning as we are doing this conversion and also if you notice anything, make sure to leave it in the comments section below and we will definitely take your suggestions, but right now we can turn this on and get it out of here and probably catch them.

Guys, tomorrow morning, okay, so it's the next day. We're just going to wrap it up here, we didn't do much work and we're happy with the results so far or with more parts arriving, so stick around.
