Mechanical Fan Install

FEBRUARY - 2006

chillin' in front of his truck

So I decided to go with a mechanical fan. I hear its better in the long run then electric. So I may loose a few HP's... oh well.

Here are a few pics from different angles during installation

nice pic from the sideview. I still need the upper radiator support bracket (hard as hell to find) and a new belt. The old belt just doesn't seem to fit anymore?? Maybe my crank pulley gained wait like its owner... haha!

So The Work Begins... (Floor Pans)

*** March 4, 2006 - SATURDAY ***So the work begins on the floor pans. I admit... this cab looks craptastic! But I promise it wont look like that for long! So I decided its time to get poppin on doing something about the inside. I first removed my butt-ugly bench seat so as to reveal the beautifully covered floor pans.
Ahh Yess... Floorpans covered beautifully in some sort of factory weather treatment. At first I tried to remove this stuff with a simple scraper spatula, but the adhesive kicked my ass. So, out comes the handy air-chisel!! That literally saved me lots of blisters and a fulls days work.
Yep.. .Thats me sitting on nuthin' but floor.
Time to start sanding down to the metal. Off with the adhesive residue and surface rust!!! Due to sunlight restrictions I was only able to get to the passenger side. Sealed it in etch-primer and followed up with regular primer.

*** March 5, 2006 - SUNDAY***

Well.. Sunday morning is here and I was able to finish all my sanding. I was also able to finish up the etch-primer and regular primer.
