Re: Smitty's 67 Build
I went into this build with a set plan on all the parts and stuck with the plan. I did not intend to build a show truck but zhit happens. I got to drive it about 50 miles yesterday. Wow holy crap wow. Couple thoughts so far.
The weight of the truck is 4028 completly full of fuel a little heavier then I thought it would be but the balance is with in a few pounds side to side and its front to back balance is 55/45.
The ride is awsome the new triples from Ride Tech are amazing I can not stress enough what a improvement they are.
The rack and pinion set up from No-Limit is a massive improvement this kit is a no brainer for anyone building a truck or wanting to update one.
The Brakes are spot on we ran a 7/8 bore master and the pedal has a great feel.
The transmission is spot on also. The clutch pedal feels like a new Cts/Vette very easy to push in. The twin disc clutch is super smooth. The White Lightning shifter is bad ass!! Worth every penny.
I am amazed at how this truck rides and turns. I threw it at a couple corners and it sticks very well.
I will post so more info on the parts and stuff now that I have time to breath.
Thanks everyone who has been watching this build. Fire me any ?s you have I will try to respond to them.
