oh and also, i couldnt find the ECE notch on their website? any ideas?

smbrouss70 · 07-24-2009, 08:49 PM

I'm sure he meant CPP, they make the bolt-in notch that most people use, including myself.

grayharville · 07-25-2009, 09:42 PM

oh ok. wait, i couldnt find one there either? in their online category anyways. any ideas? im really just interested in seeing the price.

smbrouss70 · 07-25-2009, 11:49 PM

They list it for $99. Check with our board vendors, you should be able to save a few bucks.

grayharville · 07-26-2009, 03:29 PM

I have a CPP notch but after seeing others I think I'm gonna get some thick steel round tube and make the notch round to match the rear end and then box the frame in that area. you can fab a notch like the others also....

IvelDesigns · 07-28-2009, 12:23 AM

go with slam specialties RE7's. They are $75 each, and have worked well for me. I used them on my '50 too.

grayharville · 07-28-2009, 07:23 PM

thanks! i have some heavy wall drill pipe. ill prolly use it for my notch!

where did you order your bags from ivel?

IvelDesigns · 07-28-2009, 09:45 PM

***************** usually has them in stock. And yeah, fabbing your own notch should not be any big deal. Just use some .25 wall tube, and i would suggest boxing that part of your frame too.

there's a really good write up on fabbing your own notch in the FAQ section.

grayharville · 07-28-2009, 11:12 PM

thanks so much guys! i really wish i could start on this now! but first, i need tires.

i might get the bags, build the notch, install the rear bags, then run some lines to a ball valve, so i can use it without a compressor and tank, once i can afford that stuff ill upgrade.

IvelDesigns · 07-31-2009, 11:50 AM

i'm not sure how well a ball valve will work. especially since you need to be able to force air in, and let it out.

Another option for doing bags on the cheap is to use shrader valves. You can get them at NAPA for a couple bucks. Then you don't even need to run a tank.

I suppose you could run a tank with a single shrader, then have ball valves between each bag and the tank, but then you'll still need something, maybe a shrader to let air out.

just some thoughts.

watahyahknow · 07-31-2009, 04:01 PM

uhmmm run 4 tire inflator thingies you know the ones you hook up to youre compressorhose to inflate the tires http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFi...mber_46254.jpg
they have a handle to put air in and a small valve to let air out and a big clock to measure the amound of pressure . you need to put a different hose on the end so there permanently hooked to the bags though or maibe one of those thats hooked up to a manifold with 4 schrader valves so you can tune the bags one at a time by opening the valve to that bag

grayharville · 07-31-2009, 06:20 PM

im busy with moving houses right now, but once i catch a break ill do a thorough research on this. and i feel stupid, but what is a shrader valve? THanks alot guys!

watahyahknow · 07-31-2009, 06:31 PM

its on every wheel on youre car look it up on google for a pic

brak · 07-31-2009, 08:12 PM

WOW!
Lookin great.

Too bad i'm finally starting on mine

grayharville · 07-31-2009, 10:45 PM

oh okay i know what your talkin about. i just call that the "valve stem thingy" lol

IvelDesigns · 08-30-2009, 10:49 PM

ok guys, after having the '69 sit in the garage for damn near the whole summer, it's time to get this into the hands of someone who will drive it, use it, and take care of it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=tab%3DSelling

http://www.goodguysclassifieds.com/c...olet_C_10.html

If you're a board member, I'll throw in all of the spare parts i have. new black dash pad, inner wheel wells, lights, etc... hell, if you want it, i'll throw in the '69 clip that was on it, and another '68 hood (purple but dent/rust free)

grayharville · 09-03-2009, 12:20 AM

i hate to see it go... i wish i could get my hands on that spare hood, but shipping from iowa to texas would SUCK!

texanidiot25 · 09-03-2009, 11:30 AM

I'd be all over that if you were closer. Certainly one of my favorite trucks here.

IvelDesigns · 09-03-2009, 12:27 PM

Don't rule yourself out due to distance. I've been itching for a road trip, and would not hesitate to make the 11.5 hour drive down there in it.

PM me if you're really interested.

grayharville · 09-03-2009, 10:59 PM

yeah, sell the truck to texasidiot, then swing by an bring me that hood! lol...

texanidiot25 · 09-03-2009, 11:50 PM

The 11 grand is another obstacle... Being in college.

I really love the truck, hope it goes to a proper owner.

IvelDesigns · 09-21-2009, 10:22 PM

Looks like this truck is going to live a rust free life in LA...

**88JRFAN** · 09-22-2009, 10:38 PM

I take it you got it sold? You going to put the money into the 50?

72BlckButy · 09-23-2009, 08:01 AM

Congrats on the sale Levi!
