Illuminated spinners? Neon light strips? 14 18" woofers? A salt water fish tank?

Project ADD is a serious illness that affects thousands of us every year. Maybe I can get a government grant to study it....

Re: Project "Shifted"

Glad to see y'all are getting some more done!
Cut backs on overtime at work has limited my fun money however I did manage to get my 67 stepper lowered with a better stance without spending to much while improving the handling.
The preveouse owner heated the springs... Ugh!!!
Installed front and rear sway bars from the salvage yard...
It's like a whole different truck!
Thanks for sharing your builds! He must have been showing a great deal of money for you to even consider selling your gold truck?

It was a lot.....I am probably stupid for turning it down.....oh well. My son said if it's worth that much now, it will be worth that much later on....who knew a 15 year old had that much wisdom..... Glad to hear you made some updates to your truck. What did you do for a rear sway bar? I need to add one to my gold truck. About the only design I really like is the hotchkis one, but of course it's not cheap....

I got my sway bars from the salvage yard the front froma suburban and the rear from a I roc camaro I also used the rear springs!!! It all works great and is hidden. For you I would suggest Brothers sway bar set! They are gold and would look best on your truck! They are affordable!
The bars on my 72 are Hotchkis and yes they are worth the money. 1"7/8 bars front and back.

I have a big CPP bar on the front. Do you have pictures of the rear Hotchkis bar on yours? How hard was it to install?

Ok! here are my pictures of my front and rear bar on my 72.
My rear bar on my 67. Its hidden well, the bar goes around the front by the drive shaft.
I drive the 67 daily and i want it to look the way it does...(dirty)
sorry about the poor quality pictures.
easy to install the 72 bars.
The 67 had to have 1" spacers on each side and new 3'' U-bolts.
