Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Say it ain't so. I've read 147 pages in two days. This my first time in this forum and first post. I just bought a 68 and learned a lot here. I especially need way more money. Gonna sell my 99 dually to fund my 68. Anyway keep up the good work.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
OK...i told you guys that i was going to start showing you all of my screw ups so here are the pics !! LOL, the pass panel i just made was to long in the front behind the headlight so i had to cut it there and then to wide on the tub side to i cut it there and then got it to narrow so i had to add more back !! and now i am thinking about just plugging the tranny cooler lines and running a remote mount cooler under the cab (any thoughts or suggestions on that are appreciated) and what is this other thing for that sticks out on the radiator (i took a pic of it) if it isnt important i might have the radiator shop remove that also ! and on the drivers side panel i will have to redo it also since i took the corner braces out....oh well these will be some great patterns !! good thing i bought a 10 ft piece of sheet metal ! ON the bright side , I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS..or WILL LOOK after i redo the panels right !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I think most of us have had to redo a few things during on builds, I know I did. I'm sure it will happen again for any of my other builds....Jim

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
it might be a nice idea at a later date to drill thousands of holes along the edges and put real rivits in them like on old aeroplane stuff , its not something you want to spend a week doing though .
__________________
i got a job again and having fun at it too idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I think that extra outlet is for a heater hose some of the 80's or 90's models had that.
On the trans lines could you make a removable panel to cover the trans lines if you did a hard 90 down or a couple of 90's to the side and run the line out the front and down? I would think you would have to put a fan on the trans cooler if you ran it underneath as hot as it gets in Arkansas and lack of air flow. The longer the truck stays in the build state the more things will be changed because our minds keep seeing a better or different way to do things or pick an idea from someone else’s build. If you rush it you will be going back to change something later any way. My .02

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I plugged my radiator trans cooler lines and run and external mount on the framerail for my 700R4, the temperature is fine. What I would like to do is replace the stock lines and just run the external cooler in series on the return. I think you could bend some hard lines down to the framerail and get a 24" or so fin/rail style cooler and be just fine...or don't run the external at all just do it like a stock truck. Either way, with as much effort as you're putting into making the engine bay look good, if you plug them it might look unfinished unless you can create a nice cover.
