I think I posted mine a long time ago, but I put 20's on since then and now I have a dilemma. I bent the 20's, and put the 15's back on until I get the 20's straightened. But I kinda like the way the old 15's look and ride. What do yall think? By the way, 7D2, what size are the rims and tires and where are you at in Houston?

Hi all, couple of pics of my new truck 69 step side, 355 400, right hand drive running duel fuel (LPG).

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 
Sweet truck OziC10. That's the first right hand driver I've seen. That was always a big problem for a lot of us Navy guys when we'd pull into somewhere in Australia. We'd get drunk and go to cross the street and look left first. Bad move.

7D2, it's a good looking truck. Did you have to put spacers on yours? I think mine are 8.5's and the rearend is obviously a little more narrow than the front so the rear wheels tuck in pretty good. I wish they would sit flush. I've got 255/35/20's all the way around. They're too low profile. And Discount Tire said I couldn't fit 275's on mine so maybe they're just 8's.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 
Thanks olskoolchevy, that right hand V left hand can be a real bugger, had the same problem as you when I was in the States last year. Glad to see you survived. The conversion makes it easy to get around everything is where it's supposed to be, unlike my other Chevy which as you can see is still left side, it can make overtaking really interesting at times.

Seems the photos are taking a while to load, need to learn how to resize them.

Cheers
Tony

Nice truck DJMAN but got a question for ya. Why do you have two adjustable brake proportioning valves installed? It is not recommended to do this as you typically only want one on the rear line. The fronts you want to get full pressure from the MC and then adjust the rear so they lock up just slightly after the fronts do. You never want to limit the front line pressure as it does the majority of the work, especially in a truck.

Very interesting truck BC. Do you have a build thread going? Looks like some frame mods happening to get that wide radiator in there.
That combo ought to be fun in that lite shorty.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into that. (I saw this done on race cars)

Man, I really like that. Interior is real nice. Kinda reminds me of something I want to do.

How much did it run to recover those seats if you don't mind me asking? I'll be doing the same to some truck seats soon hopefully.

I can answer that! It is a vacuum reservoir that goes into the cab and sucks on something related to heat/ac. Mine came with a broken bracket but I found a plastic globe shaped replacement and then broke that one. I'm going back to the original with a couple of tacky hose clamps or something until I find a better looking one.

A total jaw-dropper! Question: What is that color and is it authentic? That's the exact color mine was originally.

Just got my '72 Cheyenne last Thursday from it's previous owner in Marina del Rey, California. I love all classic American trucks but the 67-72 GM trucks are the pinacle in my opinion.
