The door panels are factory 69 reproductions. I bought them from Kennys trucks in oklahoma. He has a website with catalog for ordering.

ctrow · 10-20-2010, 05:22 PM

Like many have said, love the wheels on this. It's going to be a real head turner. If I ever get mine going I'll have to stop by sometime. My sister lives in Owasso and I visit on occasion.

gearys 5600 · 10-20-2010, 05:34 PM

Stop by anytime..The pics really dont do the wheels justice. You need to see them in person.

1LoC10 · 10-20-2010, 06:02 PM

looking real good,,,, nice grill too, glad to see someone keeping the truck a 69 and not swapping a 67 front clip like everyone else....lol

I have always really liked the 69-70 front ends. Different strokes for different folks I guess. lol

72 tigger · 11-14-2010, 08:12 PM

Looking good- it takes a ton of time to do it right! Will look forward to more pics.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-25-2010, 10:10 PM

nice ride love those wheels and im sure that butternut will pop...

oldblue1968chevy · 11-25-2010, 10:30 PM

Mike Bradbury · 11-25-2010, 10:45 PM

Great looking start. Your doing it right by taking it all down and starting fresh. How much have you invested so far?

gearys 5600 · 11-25-2010, 11:15 PM

Thanks Guys..I have about $ 16k in the truck, which includes about 95% of the stuff to finish the truck, including all the paint materials, I do my own paint work so I dont have to pay someone to do that. I still need bumpers, glass,and some odd and end pieces. I need to get my butt back to final blocking so I can paint and finish it.

I have already started rebuilding a 6.0 ls engine for the truck, I am going to finish the truck and enjoy driving it for a little bit before doing the engine swap.

Are you doing any tricks to the 6.0L? Eventually I want to switch to that as well. I've read some on the L92 head swap w/cam. Some say you'd do better with aftermarket but based purely on cost, it seems like a good alternative if you're not shooting for that last 20-30 HP. I think the biggest hiccup was the intake at the time. The aftermarket piece is nice but again, cost vs. gains.

Hope you had a good thanksgiving holiday!

STOCKISH · 11-29-2010, 10:42 AM

Looks amazing man, fantastic work! Love the wheels too!

big d's red67 · 12-04-2010, 12:38 PM

Whenever you have time can you PLEASE tell me the specs on your drop??? 2/4, 3/5, no inner fenders, with inner fenders, tire size, any mods etc. My buddy and I are both going to drop it with at least 20 in rims on it and yours looks almost perfect!!! It would help...thanks

The front has dropped spindles and lowered coils for 5" and the rear has 5" springs and 2" blocks for 7" . I will run inner fenders in the front and the rear is c-notched with shock re-locators and adjustable track bar.

Orangetonicclicc · 03-20-2011, 09:43 PM

Hey I'm loving the build, I'm down the street from you in Owasso. really interested in starting a 67-72 Chevy Truck Club in the future. Contact me when you get time. I have questions about installing these drop coils and spindles in the front!!!!
