Thread: 1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build

Another thing that was driving me nuts was not having my breather hoses hooked to anything. I got a good sized catch can/breather tank off of ebay and then was having a hard time trying to decide where to place it. I finally decided that the LH inner wheel well was the best place. I wanted it up high so I can route the drain back to the engine eventually. I had trouble fitting it in between the hood hinge and the proportioning valve. I had to tilt it slightly to keep the hood hinge from hitting it when the hood closes. I used some new stainless steel mirror brackets I had laying around to make the mounting brackets for the catch can.

Here is a picture of under the hood now. I still have to finish installing all my Dakota digital sensors and modules. I will be removing the RH wheel well for some work as well as replacing the leaking heater core. This thing was new from napa 4 years ago. These parts suck anymore I swear!

I still have to make a fan shroud for it, and eventually finish the ac system. I'll get the trans controller installed, finish the tcase shifter, get the drive shaft built some time, and that maybe the stopping point on this truck. I have to get back to my 76 before fall. My main goal was to get this truck drive able this year and it's getting closer. I still have to mount my front shocks. I'm not real thrilled about this situation. I ordered them directly from bilstein last monday, paid to have them 2 day air freighted, and bilstein shipped them ground. So, I took the truck to good guys without front shocks. Oh joy haha. The shocks were supposed to be here today, and they still aren't. Nice......

Last, a pic of it at the camp grounds from this past weekend at Good guys. I need to remove my suspension bars and paint them black. My rattle can orange paint hasn't held up too well.
