I think I just need to sell my truck, there's NO way I can compete with this kind of quality

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
your truck is super clean and bad a** do you plan on painting below the trim line to match the grille as well as the tailgate letters in white ? or just the grille the rest black? looks super classy this way and different than the norm. congrats on such a beautiful truck.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
It's a one piece shaft Keith ! 3 1/2" dia . My original plans were to go 4" alum. But had clearance issues when aired out. Denny's said that this 3 1/2 will handle 750 HP. I figured I'm good .... For the time being !!!!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
What U-Joints are you running, 1330 or 1350. The only reason I am asking is because I'm looking to do a similar setup. I have been checking out their website trying figure out what I will need. My problem is I don't know my ride height yet, have to get the bed back on to figure it out. Are you still using the stock trailing arm crossmember or did you change it?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Hey Keith , sorry for the delay ! The last month has been so busy trying to get this thing finished, I really neglected this thread . I'll have to back up in the thread and see where I left off. Currently the truck is complete minus the bed . When I raised the bed floor , I had never sectioned the inner bed panels to make the body lines line up with the ones on the wheel tubs . That is now done but they are sitting in slick sand at the moment . I actually pulled the plug on getting this thing down to CTC in two weeks. Ill just bring the Nova instead . Just not enough time to get her complete . We were going to bring it with a fresh coat of black epoxy on the bed but I'll just wait till its complete before bringing it out . I'll update first chance i get !
