Newport is who makes the kit for Brothers. They are real good people.

Got the windshield wiper's back in.Pulled the hub cap's off just for different look. Itchin' for some different rim's I am thinkin'.

Thank you.Ya i like the steelies and caps.I will go back and forth with them.The slight problem i am having is the truck is squirley with the old "maypops" on it. And it would benefit the true ability of this truck to have a bit more tread on it. Stay tuned.,

[namloc]

New wheels.Well I decided to add some morefun and tread to the truck.Sticking with the period 60's kinda hotrod look and a budget I scored these Cragar Eliminators. I had been watching out for these. They are tough to find as they are discontinued and looking for a match set is tough.17 X 8. Wrapped in 245/45/17 b. f Goodrich comp a/s 2. What a difference in ride and control .

[namloc]

A little detail to the new cragars.Back in the day the orig. Cragar wheel had a red bac ground to the emblem.

[namloc]

Still have the front sway bar to install.In the the beginning I wanted to make sure the rear wheel tub's would clear any wheel option .I only tacked them together .Now to finish them to come.

[namloc]

We have not posted in awhile.Just been driving around without any hickup's.Still have things to change and build on to do.Though it's a bit cold out now in Northwest.

[Palf70Step]

Been way colder than normal down this way too, just not like your cold. Neat looking pictures

[namloc]

Accuair shut down.A thermal event occurred to me on xmas weekend.Made it to just over 3,000 miles and air suspension shut off.I know what cause's this kind a failure though not sure why it happened. Burned the keyed on power source into ecu. I M pretty bumbed out.

[namloc]

Accuair I talked with today. I just got to say unbelievable A+ customer service and help. Barrett at Accuair called me back and discussed the whole situation.A resolution and part coming asap.

Thank's for the comment.All will be back together in a couple day's.The truck is fun to drive no matter the weather .With no air ride a bit low though. Congrats on the TOTM .Awesome

[namloc]

Accuair is on top of there game.In 2 day's I have a new switchspeed ecu.I checked all the recommended .And plugged it in and back in business.Thank you . That emblem is a symbol of top quality.

[namloc]

Working out another bug. Accuair pressure sensor leaked air.It may of froze condensation? or just became a leaker.I did have it in the middle on one tank on the end of the tank.The Accuair guy's schooled me a bit and than sent me a new sensor.There is a difference in my old sensor and new.Back on the road.

[namloc]

The weather has been pretty crazy latey.Snow the Bull will not do .Finally I some better weather is around.Got some more part's for the build.Still need to put sway on.had it awhile now.

[namloc]

Matching up some of the knob's.Picked up a wiper switch knob to match lamp's .

[namloc]

The snortin' bull deserve's some bling here and there.Bumper guard's I installed per some forum note's of original gm print's.

[namloc]

Some new tailgate chain's and the gate rattled a bit in the past ,so a little weatherstrip on the inside edge left and right tightened it up.

[namloc]

Got the frt. bumper diagonal bracket's mounted now also. The frt .frame horn is Z'd .Had to be a bit creative.

Progress

[namloc]

Ok so I have been putting this off for a bit. The Snortin' bull handle's real good a sway bar can make it better.Being bagged the sway link's have to pivot.I picked up some heim's.

[namloc]

Sway bar on a suspension that is bagged take's some time to set up. I am trying to make sure no binding can occur.

[namloc]

Rollin' along. Time to change the rear diff. fluid and see how's it doing. All good .

[namloc]

Installed a headliner to add less road noise and more insulation.And it helped. Still tryin' to keep the old sittin' in the yard truck vibe. No resto or all new look here and there .
