Re: Lucy - My 1968 SWB
Thanks guys. I still have to do a test fit, but I have compared them to the old one's and pretty sure they will fit nicely.

Re: Lucy - My 1968 SWB
I now have 3 sets of headers. I test fit the ones below tonight and not sure if I am going to modify the second set I have or use these. The one's above fit but are close to the spark plugs and they exit underneath the motor pretty close to the crossmember. I am concerned it might be too sharp of an angle to connect the exhaust to. It's doable but not sure it's ideal.

Re: Lucy - My 1968 SWB
People with those style headers (first ones) have been getting 45 degree bends and welding them close to the collector to allow the exhaust to tuck in tight

New Shoes
Picked these up last week off Craigslist. 5 for $250. They'll do for a while.
Painted the spare to see what it would look like. Which looks best (front is the spare I painted)?

Re: Lucy - My 1968 SWB
Haven't been on in a while. Just accumulated a few parts and waiting to get my truck back in the garage.
Picked up some rough cut lumber and had it planed and cut to width for the bed.

Re: Lucy - My 1968 SWB
Brown truck brought this yesterday. What's the best way to paint this gold anodized type of metal? Do I need to just scuff it and paint it?
