Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 
they were about 23 bucks a piece at o'reilly, but i believe any parts store should carry them for about them price

i was gonna ask you, are you running/plan on running a front sway bar?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 
at the moment i am running a sway bar, but plan on removing it after i put the bags in. that and the bags will all be independent from each other and have individual valves, gonna run at least 8 valves total. so i will not have any need for it, that and i want to be able to hit s/s, so thats also another reason why i will be removing it.

haha yup lol, used an old cut up street sign that i have had. it was thicker metal, but that will work out better for me and the stereo. i also might end up putting in a newer tilt column with key in column, as they are probably alot cheaper and easier to find. but not to new as i dont think i want lights and wipers on the column. but we will see.

did a little more work on the replacement dash, wire wheeled the paint off, and cut out the radio hole. i offset the hole to the right because i am going to add a push button starter on the left side of it. i also might add a few other things as well but not sure yet, and i would have to figure out what exactly that would be first lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 
i dont think so as it was not a truck lol. i dont think burbs had the same upgrade (cst, etc.) options like the trucks did.
