x3 on the dual snorkel air cleaner, very nice!!

Got my new drag link and tie rod ends installed, and I'll have the alignment checked next week. Nice to have the 45-year-old steering parts finally replaced.

Yes for sure. Its listed under a 1972 Camaro with a350 4bbl engine as an Air Intake Kit and the Goodmark part # is GMK4021230704SX. You can also get them with achrome lid but I want my truck to look kinda stock under the hood. Was about 175.00 US

The plan is working out with some assembly required.

That low bed mount spare tire is a real good idea. I like it. How is it working out underneath? That must be a long bed.

Thanks it's a long bed. I've done a lot of mods to make it work my bed is custom to start with. All the parts are drying now tomorrow it will be installed.

Wheel tub in and it looks great, like it was meant to be there. The bottom of the tub is about an 1 1/2" above the fender side and the tire is an inch below the top.

That is pretty trick. I especially like that you did that with the wood bed and making the custom look almost stock in appearance.

3 year old water pump failed. Replaced it with a new one from O-Rielly's. New thermistat and hoses.
I also polished under the hood.

Finished up my oil pressure line tonight. A big shout out to members LockDoc (for the line kit and needed adapter) and TBONE1964 (for an excellent working replacement oil pressure gauge). Everything went together easy and fixed a small oil leak in the process. So nice to get the stock gauges working and and being able to pull out the cheap three gauge under dash panel. Pic is oil gauge at idle.

Installed 2in drop spindles. Now the front is at 5. Gotta put on the c notch to go to 7 on rear. Although I knew the 45 series was too tall I barely got it home lol. Will be looking for some 40 series tires.

I also used Harbor Freight's disposable spray gun. $9.99 and you don't have to waste time trying to maybe get the epoxy out of it. I removed the air fitting and it went straight in the trash.
