My 69

So I got this 69 awhile back, and didnt do much work on it for the first month or so, but now I have been working on it everyday for the past couple weeks. Cleaning the engine, new exhaust system, touching up some paint spots, added a new stereo(Classic Autosound) and 2 6x9 Kicker KS speakers..more to be done soon with some rims and lowering a bit....

Re: My 69

If anyone has any ideas on things I could do, such as exhaust tip? A way to put speakers in the front right now they are under the seat since the tank is behind the seat. Anything will be helpful..Thanks!

Re: My 69

Thats a nice one! Great color too, any idea what it is?

As for the exhaust, LMC sells a dual kit made by heart throb. You can get it with tail pipes that exite behind the wheels or out the rear. Pretty popular set up, and about the cheapest. I see you have a new system already though, is it single or dual? Either way, I wouldn't put a shiny tip on it, but thats my opinion.

For speakers, there are a couple companies that sell kick panel pods that allow you to put 6.5" speakers, down in front.

Hope that helps, like the shepard too, have an 8 year old female.

I bought the LMC dual exhaust kit that exits at the rear. Nice aluminized pipes, but I had to have a muffler shop install and they said they had to re-bend almost every pipe to get it to fit my 69 C20 with coils and helper springs.

Re: My 69

Most of the sponsers here, LMC, Brothers, The Truck shop, all carry the kick pnales. Most are loaded with speakers already.

Re: My 69

WELCOME!!!
Look under the dash on either side.There may be room to mount a speaker each side facing down.Unless you hack something there is not a real "good" spot to put speakers.

Re: My 69

That was "literally" a laugh out loud moment. I was looking at the pics and reading the replies, thinking ... "did nobody else see that dog dropping a deuce?!? All the way down to post 7 before 1967wannabe noticed it. Hahahahaha

Very nice truck. Actually, I believe the dog is scratching his side. Never saw a dog go on 3 legs unless that is all they had.

Re: My 69

The color looks like it might be the very seldom seen Turquoise Blue Poly. If it is then this truck is my truck's twin... even though one of the previous owners of mine painted over most of it.
