Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Hey thanks everyone!!
I know what you're saying about the overspray. Boy has been giving me the stink-eye every I spray time too. I've got some big pieces of plastic that I use to wrap up both ends of the frame and all the tires. Still, each time I'm done, Boy gotta stick his head in there and make sure I didn't coat them BFGs!

Thanks for the offer 68TT! I'm all five lug now. I have a pair of crustys that I should throw on there, but it'd kill the money shots! I'd still like to meet up one day and talk Chevrolet. I finally got the big dude running half-azzed and it'd be cool to hear what you have to say. I know it could still run even better.

Thanks for the tip on the door bumpers! I'm going to order those and some other small bits that I still need tomorrow. I wish I hadn't tossed my old door seals! I got the new, good-guy stuff from Precision to put on when its done. Never did see feedback over on Cloud 9 if he got his doors to shut easy?? I did notice that in one of the SEMA pics on his thread that the door was cracked open while he was rollin. I re-bushed the lower hinges and bought new ones for the uppers. Both my OG door checks were toast. From what I remember, those doors hung pretty sweet before I took them off. Its just that now I think the cab turned out soooo much sweeter than I was thinking it would, I had better slap them doors back on to make sure they're just as good.

Been slow the last couple days but the No Limit rear sway bar just showed!
I think I got the first one off the press so there still no photos or instructions available and the steel parts weren't powder coated. I've asked Rob to verify that I've got it laying in there like it should be. If it is, it's captive under the bedwood, so you'd have to lift the bed from the frame to install or remove from a finished truck. I can't see a better way to fit it. I think I'll also get some zinc plated, ASTM all-thread for the connectors as well as zinc, grade 8 nuts and washers. All the HHCS's are zinc, grade 8

I should be back on it tomorrow but I'm gonna clean up around here first!
