using a 96-97 5.0 metal fan, these might be slightly heavier then the 98-01 nylon fans but these also do not crack over time
fan and shroud cleaned / degreased, anti seize on the water pump threads and installed
overflow hose also installed. You can see I chose the stock MAS sensor wiring holder to now retain the Holley wide band 02 sensor connectors.
Now we jump around a bit because my neighbor came down to help me finish up the sliders and drop bracket supports that we were building together, we finally had time to finish those projects up. The rock sliders came out sooooo wicked!! Too bad they did not make them like this to begin with
supports bent and welded, now these bolt to the body/rocker seam
3 coats of paint over the modified areas/welds and now they can be final bolted to the truck!
solid as a rock (no pun) using the two factory slider mounts and three of the outrigger bars bent up and bolted. These are now 100%A bolted to the body (NO FRAME) and strong as heck!! More pics of those later
Also finishing the drivers side drop bracket support, remember we built these from the old T bars and T bar brackets
again more on that later (ran out of shielding gas on labor day weekend!!!
