Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
Ok, I think it definitely looks cool also. Can anyone explain what the heck that booster is on the 2nd page? It says it came out of a Fiero, but it also says it's for a 67-72 pickup. I'm slightly confused. Why wasn't that unit used for this buildup?

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
Looks like the boster and MC from an 85 Pontiac Fiero connected to a set of 67-72 truck booster brackets.

He wound up using 'tweaked' stuff that was discarded from various shop projects instead of doing the Fiero/C10 bracket combo. I have not built one of these.... I just happen to be the guy that took pics of it when I saw it.

Thanks SCOTI
![]() Do you happen to know if the 67-72 pickup bracket fits the fiero booster, or did they need to adapt it?

My question is on the crossmenber. I've heard that67-72 can use 73-88 spindles and disc brakes if we used all the tie rods ball joints etc from that year. With you taking the crossmenber does that make it easier, and was your crossmember complete with the brakes attached? |

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
Shifty-The guys may be a little slow to reply. I talked to Keith last night and they were moving cars out to the track for Goodguys this weekend.
VDOG- The advantage of swapping the crossmember to a 73-87 in general is to gain power disc brakes and 5 lug rotors. In this case the X-member was pulled from my 82 Blazer. It had recently been completely rebuilt so everything on it was like new.

I know you are not going to sell that truck just yet are you? You are crazy. I have to see it this weekend before it goes away.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
I don't know if it has been asked already but what paintcolor is that? I was planning on painting my truck red, if I can ever finish the chassie, and that color looks great, very classic looking.

I look in all the same places you do and miss 98% of the deals out there but every once in a while I hit a good one. At any rate look me up this weekend, I'm going out in the morning and I will spend most of the day just talking with vendors with my buddy Roger, Sat and Sunday I will be around the cars from the shop answering questions....or just looking like I know what’s going on…. |

Whew, scared me there for a minute. I thought you were going to sell before the show even started. By the way, I guess you will know your name is
n2billet when someone calls you by that right? |

Just want to say "wow" and also .. good job on the inline.. I've never seen a tricked out inline (except in big rigs) before.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
I got a call today from our buddy Keith. He has some very exciting news about Lucy. As much as I would like to let the cat out I won't spoil it for him...

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
Ken, we're all family here and I wouldn't have minded at all but what Ken's talking about is: I got a Top 10 Pick from Classic Trucks today at the show...I was floored...my buddy Scotty has a killer 29 Roadster pickup and he also got a pick so compared to his ride I do feel blessed!
