Hey that looks good, a word of advice tho, that lower oil line is rubbing on a sharp piece of sheet metal and its gonna rupture it and your gonna have big problems..........

A little trick that I have learned, get some fuel line (5/16) and slit it lengthwise and you can put that over the edge of the sheet metal and it will protect hoses and stuff from being damaged.

And second, you should get your self a nice aftermarket oil cooler like I did from ebay or something, there is no law saying you have to use that oil cooler that Mercedes put on there lol.

I personally dont like it as its stupidly long and impossible to mount anywhere, mine is square and very easy to mount just about anywhere, you should look into that.

Looks good other than that tho.

Yeah Ken that is a good idea. When I worked at Cottman I installed aftermarket oil coolers for the auto trans lines all the time. They are readily available and easy to install as well.

yah, again im going on a zero budget for the truck right now, plus no welder to splice lines and fittings, otherwise i would have been abit more creative, or just bought an aftermarket one like suggested.

as for the lower line, i will put something there to soften it abit, i had it lined up so it was sitting off the metal but it moved when i tightened down the lower cooler line nut.

yah gibraltor i think its spelt? thats the mine im working at.

ok so im all done at my temp job and i got back last night.

today i was thinking of what to do on the truck, it was kinda wet out so i didn't really want to start sanding, but i did need to do something with the box so it would look abit more cop friendly i ended up on something that would be funtional as a storage system, and seal off the areas where there were open holes through the box.

the start











the front half







the middle















and some pose shots







hopefully will get it sanded and start painting it in the next couple days.

Hey man I didnt realize your also a carpenter as well as a fabricator!!!

Sweet job with the wood work man!!

But yea get some paint on that wood or else it wont stay nice for too long, you need to get some real tough oil based out door paint and or waterproofer.

I'll tell ya what tho, that would look SWEET if you stained it with some waterproofing deck stain and then polyed it!!!


I love the look of stained and polyed wood and it would look sweet on your truck!!

lol, im no carpenter guys, i just had an abundance of wood leftover from some houses my dad is building so i used what i had. i do need to seal it all up, i parked it inside so it can all dry out then ill try and seal and paint it up half decent, i bascially want a flush top tonneau cover on the box yet also seal up the inside enough so i can store stuff inside without crap coming up through the stack and gas tank cutouts. my propane tank also needs to be accessable for shut off and refill.

there is still a bunch i need to get done on this truck, and now i have a solid couple months on my hands, not much for money tho. my guts blew up again last monday night and i had to have some major again to have some damaged intestine removed and my belly cut wide open again ouch!

so ill tinkering with it in a couple weeks, i got a few leaks to sort out, my dads buddy has a mig ill be borrowing to help get some more stuff done in the engine bay area.


my simple list for the next couple months is.....

get the wood tonneau sealed with some kind of weather safe paint or stain
redo the oil cooler lines and mount it in a better spot
get the proper sensors and switches for the propane system and get the tank end figured out abit better
fix the oil and coolant leaks around the engine
setting a boost control system (hits 25 when the juice is on, to much)
fixing the rubbing issue between the steering link and the oil pan
seal up the shifter boot
etc......
