I'm a young 39, you wont find to many women that will admit to that...lol. And im not sure if i would have to change clip or not cause the guy i bought it off of said he just changed out the grill, but who knows. It doesnt look like the clip has been changed before. heck it might be a chevy after all and for some reason put a GMC door tag on it...Im just trying to get something matched...lol.

[oldblue1968chevy]

may start anew thread to get more attention, i know nothing about it lol good luck

yeah, it would have cost $5 more to send it to you later

Man, I wish you would have mentioned the U-bolts before...I have two new ones also and would have thrown them in the box. If you can't find any local let me know and I'll ship them for $20 shipped. Can't give everything away

[oldblue1968chevy]

haha very tempting lol i'll let ya know something tomorow! good chance i'll take ya up on that! What else ya got for rear suspension stuff.....

[VA72C10]

thanks, yeah, the blazer is VERY nice and will be a show quality cruiser when done. all that's left right now from the SWB project is a bare frame and my original cab from the LWB we shaved. Eventually will be porterbuilt stuff on the SWB!

[VALDEZ]

[oldblue1968chevy]

[VALDEZ]

yeah probably. but if i do my first post will be huge cause i would have to pack 10 months of work into one post lol. i should do it it would be nice to go back and look at what i did. if i do ill let you know first

[oldblue1968chevy]

[oldblue1968chevy]

There is ahole in the lower back part of my MC, its leaking badly, and causing my brakelight to come on, it was doing this before the wreck I just never thought about fixing it

Its where the arrow is pointing. Here is a pic of my U bolts for VA72c10. And a pic of VA's trackbar he GAVE me for FREEEEEEE Nice guy.

[VALDEZ]

ok i started my build thread go take look if you want she aint anything special but i like it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=1#post3952054

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ok, well ive been drivin the truck no problems yet. Went to the junkyard to look at the 'so called perfect bedside' it was a rusted out pos. Well, stopped by danny cummings tire shop in mcminnville and talked to him (old member). Nice guy gave me some leads to vendors he's met for parts . Trying to convince him to get another old truck to play with (had some nice ones


Anyhow, saw one of my old buddys at the parts store, he/and his dad have a few of our trucks, well after I left parts store I went to his house and talked to his pops, we may make a deal on a 67 chevy with great patina and a late 70's roller with slot wheels 1/2 ton. Hes gonna leme know tomorow...I'll get pics next time maybe. its got great patina!

If I were to put a leaf spring rearned in my truck, I know you can buy axle saddles. But how do you line the rearend up?? And whatcha do about a panhard bar? Thanks!

And I need to cough up $100 or so and get a power booster, which do I get (gold plated one or painted or what)?

[Hubscrub]

you don't need a panhard bar with a leaf spring rear they do the work of keeping the rear in place and spings

[oldblue1968chevy]

lol I know that, i meant converting a leaf spring rear to a coil spring (by welding on the brackets) LOL

[VA72C10]

I like a painted booster but the plated ones are correct and supposedly hold up well....

Here's the cad coated one on my blazer....

[oldblue1968chevy]

nice did it come with brackets??? or is that aftermarket or from parts store...can you rebuild them? dad thinks I could..(where would i get parts lol) thats a beautiful engine bay wheres the inner fenders? lol

showoff

[texanidiot25]

Why would you want to put leafs on your truck? They axle-hop, and (seemingly) don't ride and handle as nice as coils.
