We have a 69 GMC 910 that we are working on (my 2 boys and I) long bed.

I want to install a rear sway bar and eventually a front. Still have drums all around and will get to that another time when we have the money. Question is what do I need to do this properly and what is the best way. I want to start with the rear first. I have a 400 SBC with a gear vendor overdive with a one piece drive shaft already installed I understand that I can use a rear sway bar assembly from a 95 -96 Camaro any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

welcome from West Texas ,glad to see you and your boys will be working on this together . a life time of memories ......can't get any better than that....Don

I need a new washer pump for my 72

Yes it's from the 88-94 style c/k 1500 trucks I like them better than the s-10 style cause the pump is in the back instead of the s-10 (located on the front plus the c/k's hold a lot more washer fluid too... Main thing is I got the pump out from under the dash and like this style better?

And those Cheyenne and superglide emblems look awesome.....

Welcome to the site this place is awesome and all the people here are great too.... I'm interested as well on the rear 4th gen Camaro sway bar cause if that's true I got one that I'll install on my 71 as well ......

Looks real nice.. but I have a question for you. Do those thick back seats put you too close to the wheel and cramp your legs any?

Possmguts · 12-05-2015, 08:30 PM

Not much.. just got the inside of the cab under primer. Hope the weather is nice enough tomorrow to drag it out side to get it set on the frame so i can roll it and the frame back in the garage.

I'm really liking the door panels. Those look great. I want to do something with mine this winter just haven't figured out what yet!

Good to know.. Im 5' 9" also and I bought a set of brand new buckets for a Vibe... They are a little thinner in back so I should be good.. havnt got as far as making mounts for them yet though.. Once I get the cab back on the frame Ill get to that.

Thanks

That black looks amazing... Love the lift system you got going on there... That would make life so much more gooder in my garage!

vidman · 12-06-2015, 06:41 PM

When i built the garage in 1984 i made sure there was a steel beam holding up the second floor..Its a 18" I-beam 26' long with two 2 ton trollys on it. And i use them most every day..

Very smart move indeed. I never got to build the shop i wanted out back when I built this house in 2000. Ive been stuck cramped up in the 2 1/2 attached garage doing my truck... Its like working in the stone ages..

Nice build thread. Following...

zellway · 12-07-2015, 10:03 AM

Not much to report. Did get a new gauge set installed in my old work truck. The blue LED's make the rest of the lights look dull so that's the next update for this old truck.

Mator · 12-07-2015, 10:04 AM

Busy weekend, first installed the dash lights with LEDs. Wow what a difference. Then I was able to install my new diamond plate and paint my trucks bedroom. Now for some decorations. LOL
