Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!
I have Hedman elite coated Chevelle mid length headers on mine and they look and fit great. Had to trim the passenger frame rail 1/4" for clearance but that is it. If you are planning on bagging the truck you should look into these. I got them from Streetside Auto for $300.00 shipped. Part number is listed in my build thread.

Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!
Thanks for all the info and encouragement.
Got a bunch of parts ordered today...grill trim, bezels, lenses, bushings, etc... Also got my SWEET looking column in from Les (70shortfleet). It's gloss to match the wheel and since we're going with some other gloss black in the interior I think it's going to look great! He also did a great job packing it....now I have a crate to ship my tilt when I sell it soon ![]() Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

What is funny is the truck version is $25 more money and has smaller tube sizes. Go figure. The 2" tubes on the Chevelle ones are more suited to bigger motors & more radical 396's so they would not be a good choice for a stock or mild 396 or even a stock 454. Those would make more usable power with the smaller 1-3/4" tube headers like the truck headers.

Yes indeed....a great packing job! Working with accuair directly to try to get a good deal on the e-level setup....waiting for them to call or pm me on another forum... Also waiting for a call back from top banana for the bed and rest of the front clip sheetmetal...

Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!
Thanks for the ttt....going to get a full day in on the truck tomorrow hopefully....working on some deals for the air management (accuair) and ordered some more parts so things are moving forward even if it doesn't show on the thread.....also getting closer on the shop truck. Completing that will mean I can pull the bb for paint and then the front clip can be pulled to sell in favor of a 68 clip. At that point suspension work will be able to begin

Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!
Been a hectic week so no physical work on the truck but I am going to be finishing up the tach/air pressure dash tonight with some other dashes as well...
I received some of the suspension parts and painted those; and have the steering wheel to match the column also. Got a bunch of other misc parts in, purchased some more paint for the frame and suspension parts, and grabbed nice blasted original parts out of my "inventory" for the truck also. Still working on the deal with Accuair to see what they will give me if I order directly or I will be buying from a board vendor. Body shop has been busy also so no room to pull the truck in this week... Also getting closer on my shop truck so I can drive down and pick up the engine, transmission, and extra body parts.

Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!

These things look great as usual! Nice to have a relatively local guy who does good work. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Wow. These look great. I like the fact that these retract. How are the 67's ?

Re: Project#1: Bright Horizons - 68 Swb big block on Air!
Got a little of a late start after a late night (shipped parts, worked on the shop truck, and unpacked and inspected a bunch of parts for this truck). Then my oldest daughter was sick (we think it was from passing the sensor from the test she did-it's out and she feels better...and my little one wore up when the older was sick and took about 2hrs to get to sleep....
Enough of the drama ![]() Progress so far.... Three pieces of glass out...cut the hard seal in the rear of the red top and was able to save the windshield seal and the one from the blue roof's rear glass. Measured about 85 times and have taped up everything....getting ready to cut after a bite to eat.... Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device
