sweeeeeeeettt!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

That is one sweet ride, can you post some pics of the engine with the turbo setup? What did the turbo set you back money wise?:gmc2:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

It has 8" of suspension lift and 2" of body lift. The tires are 39.5-18-16.5 boggers and the wheels are 16.5X12 eagle alloy.

The color is a 2006 mazda code A4A true red. It looks a little more orange in person. It is a little more red than chevy torch red and a little more orange than viper red. I eyed one of those little mazda peter cars and got the code off of it.


I built the turbo headers and all the intake and exhaust plumbing from J bends, 180* bends and 45* bends. The turbo is a holset HT60 off of a 14 liter cummins road tractor, its too big, but the turbos are a dime a dozen. I paid $100 for the turbo of of CL. All the piping and the wastegate and BOV were about $400 roughly. I am not good at keeping reciepts.

I don't have a pic of then engine put all together, but here is one the night we put the bed and cab back on.

Here is my 71 shorty step 4x4 conversion, 400 small block, th350, np205, 33x 12.50, 4" lift.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Very bad azz truck racin69z! Those HT60's are good turbos. I use them as a primary on tow twins.

This truck isn't mine, but I saw it in an alley today and figured I'd snap a few shots to post on the board.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

rattle cans?!?!? WOW!!!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

LOL no rattle Can.
i did the rustoleum ROLLER aproach.

paint has been on there for a few months now and i finally got around to washing it for the first time this weekend. cold/freezing weather, snow, slush, dirt, and grime was building up on it pretty fast. washed it all off and she still looks good paint is holding up great thus far. this truck is my daily driver so she is exposed to the elements.

here is the thread i posted for the paint job i did

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

wow. thats a REALLLY nice job for a roller. maybe theres a rolller or two in for mine in the future ;) maybe i overlooked it somewhere, but what was the nap of the roller?

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

NICE! Inpressive did you thin it any? sand it and buff it? how many hours did it take to dry? thats great!
I was thinkin of using tractor supply red on my plow truck im building this coming summer.. bare bones K5 with a stick 6 ...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

i did all the trim work (i.e. doors, hood, joints, tight spots) with full strength paint and a foam brush. the first coat i thined out to 70/30 mix (70% paint 30% mineral spirits). the second coat was a little closer to 80/20 or so. i wet sanded after the second coat then did two more coats with no thiner. i want to wet sand it and get at least two more coats down on it but i ran out of time. the paint can says it needs 24 hrs to dry but i would wait about 6 hrs between coats or until the paint was dry to the touch, it actually set up pretty fast. i thought it would be better to put the paint down while the other coats were still slightly tacky to help it bond.......not sure if thats the right idea or not.
i will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit before i can get more paint down on it but what i have on it now should help protect the body from moisture.;)
i kind of rushed it becuz all i had was a weekend to do it and wanted to get as much done as i could but i was able to get it all done in a weekend. the hardest part is waiting for the paint to dry
i used a dense/firm foam roller to apply the paint.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

glad i just washed the truck to.
6 inch lift and 35 inch tires and the differential is still dragging in the snow. and its still coming down, this is my driveway, roads are the same.
:metal:
not a great pic but you get the idea

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

I would love to hear from you guys that have lifted your 4X4's...I would like to lift my '67 CST, but dont want to deal with pedals and other stuff( like u bolts on axle etc)...is getting the leaf springs reshaped the best way?? or do you have some other thoughts...

I can get the rear up w/ the air bag...and found a pair of air shocks that are 14" that will fit the front...so I cold get enough "up" to put on some bigger tires ( say 31.5 10.50's similar)

any ideas will be appreciated...t

I have posted this before...but here again is the truck...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

you could always go with a body lift. they are cheap, and you never need to touch any suspension parts. or you could go with a conventional lift kit, but the smallest ive seen them is 4". there are also a few other methods, but they would be the first ones to do IMO

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

thanks... are you referring to a kit like LMC has...or do you know a better source?...not many stores or shops around where I live...so internet or doing a spring shop thing is what available to me.

3" would be fine...that would get any tire I like on easy...

thanks again...t

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

go to a local commercial truck spring shop.. we have one locally that can fabricate new springs to your order.. my 67 chassis (and72) appears to have been done this way. the main spring is re arched ..

We need more Facebook fans with 67-72 GM's, find us 1967-1972 GM Truck Page, thanks to those of you that already are on there! 67-72's rule!!!!:metal:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

nice truck, I would avoid the body lift... If you only need a little lift I would add-a-leaf for the front and rear or use a zero rate leaf for the same affect. My add-a leaf gained 1.5" before weight was put back on...

You will need to probably get new U-bolts but your shocks should still be find. Using airshocks and bags will make it drive like a 1ton and only wear out in the long run.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

i have looked for add-a-leafs for the '67 and AFAIK they only have them for the front. the back leafs are 2 1/4", and they are different then the 69-62, but the fronts are the same (2 1/2").

and everyone has their own opinion, but at long as you dont plan on rock crawling through the woods, body lift would be fine and dandy. if you do plan on offroading, definatly get lift springs.
