Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Ok kinda figured it wouldn't be a big deal, my 72 with the th350 had 3.08's and it had no problems with take off. My 68 has an engine with some pretty decent get up and go so I wanted to make sure it would still get up to speed ok. I think I am going to call ECE and order those saddle perches for the rear end.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Picked up a great set of CST doors last night.
The guy even through in the glovebox door from the same truck. I love this saddle color. Going to be replacing something this weekend that may have been sprayed in a drive-by at some point. |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
Looks to me like the glass in the white doors is the tinted glass, but the other doors is the clear glass. Didn't know if you knew that.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
I went with the tinted glass in mine, just another factory option. It should make them worth more especially if you part them out.

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
So much for the saying "work smart, not hard" when it comes to these new doors. After spraying one of them three different times, I figured out the surface wasn't clean when the truck was originally repainted.
I wasn't planning on going straight to bare metal, but want to do it right the first (or 4th) time around. I ordered some Zero Rust last night and should have this back together shortly. |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
When it rains, it pours.
1 of 2 doors hung, but it really needs adjusting. Door 2 needs some new felt and glue in the track. Hopefully will get it hung tomorrow. I've always done well with procrastinating. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1970 Longbed Build
I wish.
Heading to Corona tomorrow morning. If Brothers had my mirror kit in stock I would have stopped by for some "carry on" for the return flight home. Instead Early Classics helped me out with half of it, then made the trek down to see Bill at Vintage Chevy. Mentioned the At****er meet, and he didn't appreciate me "advertising" the competition in his shop. It's crunch time boys! Next update will be Weds night. Posted via Mobile Device |
