My 67 Build Thread

[rickygee]

Ok so here goes i know a lot of these pics are on my intro post but i figure id compile a complete build thread.
Here is the info and a few photos.

What i wanted to do with this particular project was pretty straight forward
I wanted a truck to progressively work on and update as time/budget permitted. However i thought i would go with a backwards approach to this
(get all parts then clean it up)
What i started with was a very clean 1 owner 67 that was driven semi regularly to haul leaves, trash ect.
I purchased the truck very early this year. I drove it around for a couple of weeks stock then began to tear it apart.

So far i have Modified the following from stock

Engine:
Basically a 468 CI LS7
Brodix Race Rite CNC ported Heads.
Comp 297TH Cam
Edelbrock RPM AIR Gap
Old BG Carb I had Laying Around.
Hooker Super comp 2” Headers (good for now, but not so good for ground clearance)

Transmission:
Richmond 6 Speed that my dad took on trade so he donated it.

Rear:
Stock 3.73 with Eaton Posi
Dutchman 5 Lug Axles

Suspension:
Complete Ridetech Strong Arms Kit
this thing is beautiful and a breeze to install.
Early Classic Drop Spindles and Front 5 Lug Disc Kit also a very choice piece.
Ridetech Front Sway Bar
Splined Rear Sway Bar (still in the works)

Tires / Wheels:
The Wheels Are Made By Esajian Wheel Basically a Billet Specialties Apex G
18x8with 4.5 bs in front and 18x10 with 5.5 bs in rear.
I did have to make a small spacer for the rear about .3125" thick per side 5/8" total
Tires are Nitto 555's 295/45/18 and 255/45/18

Other Stuff:
18 Gallon Rick’s Stainless Tank In-tank Electric Pump
Stock Seat Covered in a Nice Thick Black Leather with Red Stitching.

I am going to drive for a wile in its current condition work out all the bugs, and be working on another frame that I will clean up paint and swap all suspension over.
Lastly I will paint the truck but not for a wile…

Very Big Thanks To Everyone who Assisted me with this.
