That looks gorgeous! What is the height drop you have it at? Also, are you still planning on doing the C-notch, or has that idea come and gone?

7" rear drop and definitely a c notch is going in, only have 2" of clearance from axle to frame with bed on it. :smoke:

Looks just right!

Thanks guys, once the motor and transmission are set back in it should be right where I want it :mm: AN lines and fittings were ordered this morning, I think I have hit the expense phase of this project :lol:

That's looking so good! I'm excited to see what it looks like once it settles with the motor weight and front end back on. And nice job on aligning the bed! I see a lot of trucks with misaligned beds.

Thanks Corey, misalignment drives me crazy, I can't handle it :lol: Hoping to have the motor and tranny back in and bolted down in about a month. :mm:

Same here. It's the first thing I notice on a truck if the bed is misaligned.

Think you'll make it to the first Kernersville cruise? I'm hoping to as well but I keep running into setbacks. We'll see.

I am not sure that I will, still quite a bit of work to do. I do not really want to start driving it until it is complete or it won't get finished :smoke:

Pump is mounted and now installed, used an aeromotive pump, holley fuel tank bulkhead with rubber grommets and bolts from lowes. For a total cost of about 210.00 :metal:

Re: 68 project
 
Awesome. I can't wait to see this beast up and running.

Larry,

Will it be EFI? Or a carb?

GR8-68 05-05-2017 06:52 PM

Re: 68 project
 
Was going to do a carb originally but now have decided to go with Holley sniper system, so yes efi.

Tracking bar finally came in and got it mounted, ready to set it down and get it adjusted.

CPP deluxe trac bar. . Much better as it bolts from trailing arm to stock frame point.

Re: 68 project
 
I had that same track bar on my last truck. I had the huge diff cover too and it worked like a charm. I had to get a custom PB bar for Walter though due to the dropmembers.

hewittca 05-05-2017 08:22 PM

Re: 68 project
 
That's a neat looking track bar. I may have to get me one of those. Does it adjust up at the stock mount end? And does it come with a spacer for the left trailing arm to match the bracket on the right side?
