Hey sick5 looking good bro. Check my build thread post #212 here is the link

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=406070&page=9

I went down to Boyd's Drive Line Service at 679 Miner in Stockton, Talk to Cory he built my custom two piece. It wasn't cheap, complete end to end all new $550 but it fit perfect and no vibezzz.

Looks good man. Love the blue color! Keep it going with updates. I'm waiting on my new shock mounts and shocks from Porterbuilt. I have to buy a tranny then i'm off to powdercoat. Your motivating me to work on mine! keep going.

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

GM blue is nice. i had a visit from Shawno72. he came by to check the progress out. well

Nate,
i was checking out the old spot of the flat perch for the bed and i belive the old hole placement was in the center of the two holes. i ran a measurement 261/2 from that. It looks pretty close.

i might need to check another truck to make sure.

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

Nate,
so i measured the two old ribbit holes and found a center. from there i measured back to the cnotch 26 1/2. would that work. and im hoping another dropmember owner can help with this

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

Progress is coming along nicely

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

I will just have to confirm the mesurements tomorrow.... the centerline placement is critical, and since you no longer have the mounts that we use to reference the notch centerline... I would rather you be safe than sorry. :)

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

Hey Nate, any word on a hood hinge strut kit? I really don't like using a prop on that heavy hood.

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

i thought he wasnt going to because of the heavy hood

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

We are working on one... it won't integrate into the hinge set-up like the 67-72 version because of the weight of the hood, but we should have it ready to sell around the first of March if not sooner.

Nate

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

Very cool. Can't wait!

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

well i started to get down and dirty with the other notch and then my angle grinder took a crap.. now its time to go to Harbor frieght for another one

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
