Propane Powered SAS Resto Project

[LPG PWRD]

Had to get correct 1410 ujoint flange.
1410 on the rotor, 1350 off to the side



My fuel lines went from this droopy mess:


To this:



Also had to grind down the pretty paint to make a chassis ground it was hard to grind something so nice, but by doing it this way, I utilized the old idler bracket holes in the frame. I think it looks sexy compared to the ground strap with a self tapper holding it down. I will be making another one of these in the rear crossmember for rear grounds.

Dropped off the grill shell, core support, and front fenders


parts in prime:







Got a nice package from DIY4X, new rear spring plates, D60 "flat back" diff cover and some shock mounts.


Diff cover before starting to make the Razors to match my rear cover



D60 with not so beef cover and pesky steering dampener bracket



Removed front diff cover



Mocked up pure beefy diff cover, and the lines are roughly where the razors will go and the ram mount will go as well.



Bracket gone...



to make room for the asist ram



getting ready to put the core support on and grill shell...



Here is the tie rod tubeclamp that the assist ram will be pushing, well it was made wrong... oops it will be getting split in half to be able to be bolted on...





Ram mount tacked onto diff cover for test fit purposes



Razors starting to come together



Ram mock up

Close up of texture of product

Got the driveline caliper in, now its just a matter of making a bracket to hold it in place


The 94 originally used the fan shroud to hold in the upper part of the radiator. Since I am running E-fans, I found a set of upper rad mounts from a 96 burb that will work perfectly.... to bad i had to get the 34" radiator to fit the mounts then. And after all is said and done, a set of rad bushings from a 93 HD truck will then tightly hold the bastard in place.




Started mocking up the fans so I can get them all cleaned up, and make a nice set of aluminum mounts to hold it firm in place



Nice amount of room still

[LPG PWRD]

Finally got around to finishing the front diff cover

[LPG PWRD]

Firewall all finished and painted with high temp gloss black.





Interior getting coated w/ Second Skin "Spectrum"

[LPG PWRD]

Interior completely finished with 6 layers of Spectrum








Sprayed a little on the rockers to protect them from boot damage

[LPG PWRD]

Got the truck out of the garage and rolled it on its back to start working on the bottom.







Underneath not in bad shape at all for being over 16 years old in ohio weather

[LPG PWRD]

Removed heat shield on passenger side and degreased the whole bottom








Sanded down the paint and removed the rust getting it ready for primer




The bottom all etched primered up
