Re: my progress

Re: my progress

Very nice! Truck looks sharp like that, although glass will definitely help with the finishing touches.

Re: my progress

Damn, I just wiped the drool off of my face. When I said damn, the little woman was wondering what I was looking at so I moved over so she could see the computer screen and said, oh men.

Re: my progress

Re: my progress

thanks for the responses... the wheels are 18/8 and 20/10 TTII's on a 4/6 ECE drop... it still needs to come down a little in the back and a lot more in the front!

Re: my progress

Gorgeous truck! That is what I would like to do to mine. I think a white interior would top it off. White is not the most user friendly, but I guess it depends how much you are going to use it (or if you have kids.. ). Again, nice truck!

Re: my progress

Nice trucks guys! (67BB whenever you're ready to sell let me know, ) I want to do my 67 4 Door crew cab in a similar paint scheme. I think Zumo PC'ed one like that recently.

Re: my progress

RedneckDDS, great looking truck. Exactly the look and wheel setup I am working on, but air ride too.

Question; did you shorten the rear end at all to fit those 10" wide, small backspace TTIIs?

The reason I ask is because the other truck pictured in this thread has a Camaro rearend under it, the owner informed me, which is less wide and made the very small backspace wheels possible to still fit them under the bed. I intend to install the widest lip possible TTIIs also so I converted my 71 to a 58" wide 9" Ford rearend, that will allow me to run the 20x10 wheels with only 3" of backspacking. Pictures of chassis etc. located here http://www.hotrodders.com/gallery/sh...p?ppuser=30718 I am just trying to get a feel for how much lip the 20x10 with 3" backspacing will actually have, since I have yet to actually go buy them. Cheers!

Re: my progress

I told Kieth I would post up some pics of the air suspension installation we did. The front is bagged with Strong Arms and ECE drop spindles. The rear has a custom c-notch and bags, with an ECE trac-bar. Air Ride Technologies also supplied the air suspension components... valves, compressors, and LevelPro set-up.

Re: my progress

Now it's got THE LOOK!!!! Stance & Wheels & tires is everything! Looks like the boys over in Mesa did you right!! Sort of looks like my OLE' BABYBLUE. I'll give you a call this weekend & see how things are going. I'm working on my next 67' as we speak. Been rounding up parts & putting the air bags on the chassis. Catch you later,Cliff
