The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the TCI leaf kit in my 1950 3100. I am not on the road yet so I can't comment on the ride but I can tell you it installs really easy and is nice quality.

Hi Root2812, does the TCI kit move the axle back any to help center in the wheelwell?, i called TCI last week & the tech guy i spoke with could not remember if it does or not.

Hi Keith, no water damage as we live on the western side of the county.

I am glad you are ok. A lot of good people are hurting from the flood waters.

Thank you; yes there are many families that have lost everything, its very sad to see, there was actually higher water levels and more damage than from Floyd in '99.

I am pretty positive the rearend didn't move front to back at all. The kit does have a drop built into it which I think was about 3 inches.

Thanks fellas for the kind words. These projects can sometimes take on a life of their own. Got all the bed wood strips tightened down today so the backend is complete.

Keith,
I really like your bed color. Do you remember the brand and color name? What polyurethane finish did you use?

Been meaning to ask how you got her so close to the ground w/o (it appears) raising the bed and c-notching and such?

Hi Dan,
The color stain I used was Sedona Red by Minwax followed by 10 coats of Spar Urethane also by Minwax. I used 0000 steel wool between each coat. I just thought that shade really blended with the color of my truck.
Thanks

Sweet, nice, beautiful paint/color! Same as the first AD that caught my eye when I was a kid. It had wire wheels but I like yours better...can't beat burgundy with cream wheels.

Owned for the last 34 years and counting, never been off the frame, never had a full "nut and bolt" restoration. Just a survivor, tried to keep her running and gussied up nice. Stock 216, 3-on the tree, slow and steady as she goes...;)

Thanks much. Can't get tagline to show underneath post but it's in my profile. Was also on the site back 10 yrs or so ago as Scooter67 with a '67 Chevy that's been sold long ago. That email must be dead but the truck is here:http://truckwithaheart.com/67chevy.htm

Oh there's that sig...never mind!:lol:
