My truck had a set of those helper leaf springs on it. The PO had heated the original coils to lower the truck and there was only about an inch of travel before the helpers would kick in.
When driving the truck over bumps in the road the helper springs would engage and bounce the back end up into the air. Like an amusement park ride :lol:. The way the PO mounted the helper springs was to take a piece of I-beam, cut it in half down its length and then he welded the web and flange of the beam to the frame. The other scabbed on plate must have been a rear bumper mount? PO's... go figure.... |

Hi Everyone
Here is some pictures of my 1965 GMC. It has a small block 350 motor with a 4 speed transmission and a 12 bolt rear diff with 4:11 gears. I just finished the 4 link suspension for the truck. |

Different strokes for different folks. Or in this case, "different trucks for different...uh...er...."...you know what I meant:lol: P.S. I'd forgotten how awesome the slot dish mags were when they are in as-new condition. You pretty much only see them dulled down nowadays. In the mid '60's if you were WEALTHY enough to afford those (and no one would have put them on a truck in those days) you were the schit! I remember seeing them on a dark green matallic GTO in '68 and thinking that was the most beautiful car I would ever see. |

The black truck had a lot of personal touches. For instance it has wood grain in the body side molding, and the same woodgrain on the little chevy emblem located cab trim. And I liked the hood inserts also (but as you can see from the picture of my truck below, I am hardly impartial). :lol: |

Lakeroadster,
I hope you didn't takre my opinion the wrong way. I did not mean to offend. I think the hood insertts are practical from the "letting heat out" stand point, but I think I would have preferred louvers. Then again, louvers are expensive and those hood inserts could probably junkyard sourced if you were lucky to find some in decent shape. Love your rims, especially the fatazz tires in the rear! |

Dan,
No offense taken! :thumbs:I got the Camaro louvers off Ebay. I have designed an air induction set-up to use these to feed the air cleaner, similar to the cowl induction used on Camaro's, see pdf's below. I have most of the parts, but other items are taking priority at this point. Mike, The louvers simply bolt to the hood, (6) studs each louver. |
