Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Here is what i have going on before they install the cool stuff.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Surgery has begun:metal:

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

I just watched the episode of Hot Rod Garage where they installed QA1's coil over kit front and rear. Is that what they are putting on your truck?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Karl, I haven't seen the episode, but I remember seeing a picture or something of it. So, yes I believe it is the same kit.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Update on the front.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Very nice!!!!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Getting the rear dialed in now. Man I'm stoked!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Got everything installed. Looks like it will ride about and inch lower! Perfect! QA1 will go back through and check all of the bolts etc. And then take it for a spin. I should have it back in Colorado in a couple weeks. I went ahead and bought a power brake booster from Performance Online, so i will install that and some new brake lines then. Should be a fun little driver! What do yall think?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Stance is awesome! Can’t wait to hear your impressions is the ride and handling.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

I cant wait to report in!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Looks really nice!!!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

This little truck is kicking my a!!. That's what I think.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Looks very nice, interested to hear how it rides!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Lol, what do you mean

Thank you!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Looks awesome!!! :ito:

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Thanks fellas!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

I also picked up a set of 15x8 6 lug wheels. I will use a couple of them for the rear. Just brought 4 new tires, now I'll have to buy 2 more so i can get a little wider in the back. Wish i didn't replace all 4 three weeks ago lol

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Very Nice!!!

Carry on!!!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

She's all loaded up and heading back to Colorado! I'll let y'all know how it rides. Bill at QA1 drove it and says it is a blast to drive! So stoked to try it out.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

I finally got to drive it today. WOW! This thing handles corners so well. Take corners as fast as you wish. The only problem is trying to keep my ass planted on the bench seat. Ha! Highly Highly Highly recommend this QA1 coil over setup!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Thank you to all. It's getting better every time I update something. If I only had more time... I've been super busy at work and trying to get stuff done around the house.

PS: This truck is up for Truck Of The month if you want to vote for it, :metal:

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Back home finally

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Stock, wore out suspension vs highly tuned QA1 coil over suspension

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Well how's she drive!? looks awesome

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Got some new exhaust. Kept the stock single pipe, but had them cut a hole in the cross member to route the pipe up higher. Also had the opportunity to get a few more pictures of the suspension. I know how we all love pictures!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Suspension

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Drives extremely nice! It is a friggin blast to drive. Although 600hp under the hood would be awesome, the 3 on the tree and straight six ads to the driving experience I think. Not very many people know what that even is. So it acts as a theft system too!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Very nice!! Are you going to try the 8 inch rims all the way around? I have 6 inch on the front.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

8's will go on the rear only

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Ok guys here is an update. The truck handles incredibly well. I need some of your expertise. I have a decent vibration at 58+ mph (its been this way, nothing to do with the new suspension). I thought it felt like it was coming from a pulley on the motor or a U joint. Both U joints have been replaced and when I rev up the engine its smooth as can be. I also replaced the seal in the back of the trans when I had the drive shaft out. Maybe drive shaft needs balanced, but it's the original and I would think it should be good? Any ideas? I know its a million dollar question, but I thought maybe someone out there had experienced this situation? The thing runs smooth at 55mph. Maybe it just wasn't meant to go that fast. But I cant drive 55! haha

Thanks for the suggestions in advance
