Amazing project. Glad to see it went together smoothly.

Welcome. Sounds like a fun project. Any more info/pics of the turbo install?

It looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Great looking truck!

Too much effort!! rofl

You're hardcore! I don't think I could drive mine daily. The fuel alone would kill me I think. srodocker - That one guy sounds like a douche.

GL issued a FL title for my deuce. See if they will give you one of those instead of the SF-97. Good luck.

The dash turned out really well. Congrats!

As woopyass said, they do make a manual valve body for the 4L80E. This means you will have to manually shift the gears all the time OR you can get a controller for it, so it can be electronically controlled (more expensive than the MVB). I would go with the 4L80E definitely. I swapped one...

I went through the same decision and went with an A2. My reasoning was this: The A3, in my opinion, does not have a significantly better powerplant, and parts are not nearly as easy (and cheap) to find.

That is very sad news. I have worked with him through all 5 of my recoveries. He was always helpful and kind. He will be missed.

As ken said, re-route the exhaust to the rear of the truck and add a muffler. That's what was done on my 1st deuce, and it was a lot quieter than my D-turbo one. That being said I wish I had a C-turbo instead and would not change the exhaust at all. I like it loud.

Update: The wicks came in the mail yesterday. I installed one and put everything back together. The heater fired right up and runs great. Thanks cranetruck. I might need to re-route the heater exhaust though. It appears to be getting sucked up by the heater fan and blown into the cab...

Congrats on the truck. Richmond is a great site to deal with. They are very friendly and helpful.

Thanks. That's what I ended up ordering. Guess I'll look for it in the mail sometime next week and hopefully get this heater to fire up.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the pics. I didn't realize the wick goes straight through the vaporizer. I'll look on ebay for a wick that will work. Could you PM a link to the auction you bought the wicks from, so I can see exactly what you decided to use? Those are some pretty crazy prices from SW. You would...

Would you happen to have a source for replacement wicks that will work? Have you found a good way to attach them to the vaporizer? Has anybody had any luck with obtaining replacements from Stewart Warner? I imagine I won't be able to get a hold of anybody there until after Thanksgiving.

Has anybody been able to get replacement wicks for the South Wind heater? I took mine apart last week and found the wick to be in bad shape (broken/charred) along with the vaporizor (??) that it is attached to. I tried calling South Wind but have not been able to get ahold of anybody there...

Nice setup

Glad to hear everything worked out for you.
