I like what you've done so far for sure. Two observations/suggestions:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Following this build closely...going to do something similar to my 63...your truck is currently my role model...great job and pics...couple questions
1-the cupping of the lowers seems to have brought it down quite a bit from your first attempt...how much do you think it helped lower it? and kind of curious as to why it helped since the cup doesn't seem to put the bag that much lower? 2-what size/type of shocks are you running on front and rear? 3-where are you mounting the rear shocks? |

They were designed for low hood clearance vehicles like corvettes. You don't have that constraint with the truck. I'd swap for a performer RPM in a heartbeat. Do a little google on the Torker and Torker II to see what others have to say about it. |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
cool man thanx for the info!!! ill check it out

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
installed my sway bar and made a new radiator support/better jack point
http://imageshack.us/m/710/2889/12819225.jpg i still gotta make the u shaped brackets for the rad to sit in.. then gonna paint it http://imageshack.us/m/534/1035/44043415.jpg http://imageshack.us/m/200/5194/55565637.jpg i think it looks cool.. it will be way easier to jack my truck up now since it is right behind the bumper and i got a flat plate welded on the bottom.. also you wont see the rad support in the engine bay any more!!!!!!! |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Looks good man! :metal::metal: Makes me want to bag mine :mm:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Must be gitting some OT. No updates. bought a radatior like yours just wondering how you going to mount the top? It's no quite as tall as the old one.;)or are you going to lift it up ? Might be a good idea. I have the same problem when I jack it up.
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
ya ive been a little busy.. gonna work on it some the next couple of days.. still not quite sure how im gonna mount the top of the rad.. i want it to sit flush with the top of the core support instead of sticking up above like the stock one

Coulter: That is a pretty sick build you've got going on, and I really dig your approach to the front end. I've often wondered about making the air bags lift higher like you have done, living in a small mountain town myself ground clearance is a must for anything (even the main drag). Also I've never seen much of a point in spending all that money to only get a couple inches of lift for driving. Again, I like your approach and you've given me some ideas to chew on for my roller. Sweet set up you've got there too bud. No doubt subscribing. :metal: |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
thanx man.. ya ive got a really steep driveway and i dont know if a dropmember truck would make it without dragging real bad
btw guess im gonna have to start looking for a different intake mani.. i wonder if anyone has tried welding a divider plate in there to make it a dual plane manifold? |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
well not too much progress but at least its something :metal::metal:
got my crossmember finished and painted http://imageshack.us/m/69/1010/29837426.jpg http://imageshack.us/m/194/1771/86075644.jpg |
