I think the Lawn Boy deserves new paint on the deck and wheels

Coming along great Nate! Love the wilwoods! Can't wait to see what other progress you make next!

nds1968 · 09-25-2014, 11:25 PM

Mini added to the project list

A late 60's Lil Indian 700. Originally equipped with a 5hp B&S but I'm gonna start the kids with a 2 or 3hp

67chevy1series · 09-26-2014, 04:38 PM

Awesome! I've got a little mini bike as well. There really fun. I believe mine is a 72 fox.

Added another ride today

Its a Lil Indian Sabre or 6000 not sure. It has a 2 speed setup and currently a 6hp Tecumseh but i would like to find a Tecumseh HS40 or HS50 engine.

nds1968 · 11-03-2014, 11:59 PM

I found someone to assemble my rearend, hope to get it to him by Friday

nds1968 · 11-27-2014, 01:14 PM

The paint code is 507 on the SPID

Possmguts · 12-08-2014, 06:56 PM

Looking real nice man... what drop did you go with on the spindles and front coils?

nds1968 · 12-08-2014, 07:12 PM

Thanks, 2" dropped springs and 2" dropped spindles. I almost cut one coil before I installed them but I stopped myself

I'm not sure how its gonna sit with the air bags in the rear. I may end up putting bags in the front eventually....

If I dont go with the Vette suspension, I was wondering what 2.5" spindles and 2" coils would do... Are the tubular A arms offering any drop along with the other stuff?
My problem is the PO heated the coils and I have no idea what stock hight is so i can figure what to do with a proper drop

Check out the suspension section for some pics, maybe this can help also http://pbfab.com/67-72-gm-truck. There is a thread in the suspension section I'll try and find that will help with the drop selection.

The a-arms don't add addition drop with coil springs but they allow additional drop with air bags when compared to stock LCA unless you cup them. Because if you don't cup the LCA you'll have to bolt a plate on so that the bag has a flat surface to sit on. Hope this makes sense. There are better qualified people on here that can help here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...splay.php?f=25 Nate

nds1968 · 12-08-2014, 07:45 PM

Possmguts, here goes the thread I was thinking about but its with air bags http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=609897 also here goes the Static Dropped C-10's thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=471442 Enjoy
