Mike, I used the same horns under my bed. You can modify them to fit.

Your horns are where my air tank is and the other side is where my muffler will be

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

As you know, I have a stepside, my 5 gallon tank is in the rear, right in front of the compressors. The exhaust can still be routed to the rear, ESP on a fleet, and without sacrificing power.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

thanks guys i appreciate that ! Last nights progress, attempt #2 at building my filler panels i think i got it this time, gonna get the holes dimple dyed today , then bead rolling, then bend it in the brake ! hopefully this works ! instead of trying to 45 the corner and go with the fender to core support brace now i am going behind that brace and doing a 90

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

depending on how close you want to stick to your mock up; take into account the length required for the bends. For a 90 deg bend on soft steel or aluminum the formula for addition or reduction length needed would be:
L= (0.64 x T ) + (1.57 x R )
Where
L = length
T = thickness in inches
R = inside radius of bend in inches

This only accounts for the bends made on the break. The angles of the bead and dimple would be calculated separately.

This concludes your nerd broadcast for the day....

Just remember that this truck is American and when it looks like it came from the Swiss you have gone too far!

Nice work on the fan shroud and filler panels. Now, when is the time frame to deliver the truck to the painter? You still have him lined up to do your truck?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

thanks guys for the compliments , i think it will really clean up the engine compartment alot , all of the wiring and ac lines will be ran behind all of these panels ! The bed is at the paint shop as we speak he was working on the front bed panel and the notch cover today, as soon as all the bodywork is done on the bed we will paint the inside of the bed and then take him the cab and front clip, i am trying to complete the truck by June !
