Re: My 69 custom/30 rollback project

well i had to about start over...lost all my storage for parts..ect

went to work for a while..

sold the 65 Biscayne without the motor and trans so i could build a 40x40 barn to put stuff in again

The rollback is not a solid front axle...It has regular upper/lower a-arms..like the trucks do..also has a 3inch rear sway bar...It is now fully hydraulic bed...I got tired of breaking 5/8 winch cables..to roll the bed back and forth.

19.5 tires and 4 wheel disc brakes..I changed out the 4.56 gears in the dana70HD 2 weeks ago..because at 70mph it was running 4,000 rpg and just sucking gas..so i put in a 3.73 dana70HD gears and now it is running 3,200 at 70mph

next move is a granny 4speed with a 3 speed "brownie" aux trans..

it has low,straight,and overdrive..I will lose 800 more rpm in overdrive so i will be able to cruise 70 mph at 2,400

or i can back up super fast...or crawl up hills..

I am still around...glad to be back...I like tennessee

I will get some more updated pics tomorrow as i load my 90 454SS to take to the auction so i can sell it..LOL
