Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I think you did the right thing by welding them to the frame. Keep up the nice work my little grasshopper!

I thought long and hard over the lower end nut and as I saw it I only had two two choices. 1. I could use weld-in nuts on the top, or bottom of the spacer or on the top of the frame before I welded the spacer to the frame. 2. I could buy bolts long enough to go through the spacers and the frame. I chose option 2. I still have the option of a weld-in bolt on top of the spacer if I were to change my mind.

I know BCToyBox relocated his springs inside the frame rails for more room. His truck is prostreet. He used the original shackles and just reversed them, putting the driver side on the passenger. I don't know if he has pics in his build page link but here it is http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=432758. I found the pic on his flickr page. He is a cool guy if you are interested just ask him. This pic is before the c-notch. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Kabwe; 03-20-2013 at 07:23 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Bam I think you need to change the third brake light to one of these, just joking. I saw this in Sport Truck site it was on a tailgate when I saw this light first thing to come to my mind was your truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Two door hardtop Belair too - ugh, kills me. My Dad gave me his purchased-new one when I turned 16 - I didn't want it. I wanted a van (it was the 70's). What an idiot I was. Someday I WILL have another though. Hopefully to go with my truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Dan you do not want to know the cars I've had and the ones that have gotten away. I will tell you one that I regret selling a 1966 GTO. I have many cars get away throughout the years my brothers were lowriders and anything they did not want to lowride they gave to me.lol My 55 210 is not for sell ever unless the bottom falls out financially and truck whenever its done will not be for sell either. If I get bored I will just rebuild them.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Now THAT would be PAIN.
My Dad's was black with the red/orange over a rich cream interior. A 235 six and 3 speed overdrive because he didn't think the new V8 would be very good - ha ha. If I could ever find THAT specific car I'd do whatever was necessary to buy it. I know the old license number too. I submitted a form to the DMV about 5 years ago but they couldn't find it. Might have been junked or just lost a cross reference. |
