Been getting drug along trying to get into the house all summer. Still not in, still no major progress on the Travellette. Got a rust free hood from Brendan at IH scout. Got the hood and grill all blasted and primered.

Been messing around cleaning, lubricating and installing the door latches. Ordered all new plastic lock rod clips.
New rubber bumper. Never been this deep, never saw that they had this.
Never realized there was an o ring in the button plunger...
New o ring.
Also found my...
Been a bit of work done since last post, didn't get to the body shop since I'm working on getting a new house and shop.
Couple cans of eastwood internal rust encapsulator in all the panels.
Back on the frame so it's one piece to move. Talked to Mike Moore at scoutco's body man. Have a...
The borg Warner turbo is awesome. Tows like a freight train and maxes out my 35 psi gauge. I'll update with some engine pictures and more junk towed...
6-71 powered gmc
Upgraded to a manual column and 79 sport wheel.
Not a problem, that's what forums are for! I had a tone wheel made, I'm going to use a rear diff sensor to read it. I need to make a bracket still to hold the sensor. I had it fluctuate at idle, but never dialed it in.

Swapped out the shitty 35/40 hybrid for the S360 I had on the 466. Bought a S366 and figured it may be a bit much for the DT360. It's perfect on there. Much more power, 35+ psi, as low egts. Was playing around before the pulls to see if I could launch in 3rd low.... That resulted in a broken...
Yeah. Think I'm going to pull the turbo off to sell it, swap on the old turbo...and hood ...And throw a hood stack on it till I buy another turbo. Muahahah

Thanks. Ditto... Lol. Definitely something off on that one.
Did some towing with the hybrid turbo. Not a fan. Way too much heat. Looking for a S366.we'll see what I come up with.

Price was right. Just paid $150 for the billet wheel and had the turbo done for free, $40 for the feed hose, and $25 for the adaptor plate.

Finally swapped the HX35/40 hybrid. Had to flip the exhaust manifold to get more clearance on the compressor side. Definitely woke the truck up. It'll hit about 35 psi and pulls all the way through 5th no sweat. Can't wait to hook to the trailer now. Actually hooking to the pulling sled...
Fixed a little hole in one door. Then got the tailgate back.
Blasted a and primered...getting a hood in Ohio this weekend, then it's OFF TO THE BODYSHOP!

Pulled at one of the local fairs. I was being gentle on the clutch so it bogged down a little off the line, got back on the clutch and revved it up then got off the clutch again. Track was way more sticky than I expected. Didn't build boost till half track, by then the weight was up. I was...
Got a hx35/40 hybrid with a billet HE351 compressor wheel. Just have to get an exhaust flange and oil feed line. Should help out a bit.

Thanks Brandon. Didn't dress like that because I'm not sexy. All part of being at the big monster truck mud madness show.
