I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. I'll be putting 10" wide ones with 295 tires on the back.

I found them when another member posted (red 67 c10 out in California, with a really nice build, I forget his handle), posted a thread with them.

Yesterday I started taking my doors apart to replace the inner bottoms and outer door skins. Sorry forgot to take pictures.

LadyBird · 09-05-2011, 03:05 PM

Ordered a MileMarker winch today... And, I should get a visit from the UPS fairy with some stuff from LMC tomorrow.

Its still 104 outside. I was hoping to get a little bit more done today, but doesn't look like thats going to happen.

willys72fleetside · 09-06-2011, 08:49 PM

FINALLY, I got the paint work done all but the hood.

I went and bought new wide trim rings for my 8" ralleys and put them on my wheels .It will be a while before the truck is home from the body shop for me to put the wheels on the truck .I cant wait to get the van rallys off and get the 8" rallys on as that will mean new paint on the truck.

BMERDOC · 09-06-2011, 10:04 PM

I've got a lot done in the last two days! Many things have been checked off the list. I had to scar my rattle can paint job to do it but thats what the paint job was for. Click on the link!!

Shyguy · 09-06-2011, 10:05 PM

Monday we started doing sheet metal work on my '67 swb stepper cab. I have never done any sheet metal work myself so my son was showing me how to do it. We removed the inner and outer rockers using hammers and screw drivers, not a fun way I don't think.

I cut off the old cab corners and cut and fitted the new ones, my son tack welded them. Also he cut, fitted and tacked the driver's side floor pan.

We removed the '73 454 from my '71 along with the SM-465 to prep them to put in the '67.

I helped one of my grandsons take apart the front clip off the '71 I gave him.

Today I ordered the seals and gaskets for the SM-465 from Rock Auto.

It felt good to finally start working on the '67 and since I gave the '71 to one of my grandsons I will be able to concentrate on the '67.

ItsRandy · 09-07-2011, 12:16 AM

Started block sanding the last coat of primer on my cab. I've sprayed 2 gallons of primer on the cab and swept up at least one gallon from my garage floor. sealer and paint are next!

That is the one. I h visited that page in your build thread many times. Also the name stamped in them isn't nearly as noticeable as it appears to be in photos IMO. Love the wheels.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-08-2011, 07:52 PM

I installed a chevy only sticker on my back window today does that count as anything???

eagleuh1 · 09-08-2011, 09:00 PM

Keep your head out of them window openings when rolling them up Magwakeener. They're pretty quick. Jim

magwakeenercew2jh · 09-08-2011, 09:16 PM

Will do, Eagle.

Unless I'm ready to end it all.

I have been sanding/filling/sanding/priming/block sanding/filling/priming/ block sanding etc., etc., and so on and so on for about about 8 weeks. I hope to show you all the results of all of my (and my close friend's) labor very soon.

Looks someone was mighty thirsty before they started the paint process.

Tmwoodall · 09-08-2011, 11:06 PM

Finished prepping and got the first coat of Por-15 Chevy engine orange enamel on my small block. Top end goes on Saturday, if I can get a second coat on tomorrow night. I'll be picking up my March Track Serpentine kit saturday afternoon too!

I broke down and ordered a few parts, proportioning valve and.....

a Plasma Cutter from Eastwood.

ItsRandy · 09-11-2011, 02:37 AM

Finished sanding the last coat of primer on my cab today. Built a paint booth in my garage with hi-tech 3-fan power ventilation. Paint tomorrow, I'm jazzed>

Andy this is the first I've seen of this. That looks like a much more effective shock angle than the other upper shock relocators give on lowered trucks.

I know you will feel the difference in ride too.

Andy4639 · 09-11-2011, 03:10 PM

Man I sure hope so! It has to be better than now.

Here is another addition I did.
New radio installed. Has HD stations, CD,SD and USB and Aux all. I have over 400 songs so far between the SD & USB. Best thing it was less than $90.00 shipped for free.
