Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Well i've just been playing around with this and that while waiting to get more done on the bedsides. They are presently sitting in Slick Sand awaiting blocking. I got the new door gaskets installed today and these new SoffSeal ones made all the difference. No more slamming the doors. I also machined a blank knob to replace the cigerette lighter and match the ones for the wiper and headlight switches. Its retained in the socket by an o-ring. A little polishing followed by a clear powder coat and it'll be done.
Looks like i'll spend the rest of the week putting sound deadner in the doors and installing the one piece glasses. More to follow as i make noticeable progress. ![]()

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
As time allows , I've been working on getting the one piece door glass installed. Also swapped out my door gaskets to Soff Seal ones and my doors now close effortlessly. No more slamming doors shut . I'm happy !!!!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Any part numbers for the gaskets? Are they glue in?

Sorry I can't help more than that . Rob, they are the standard glue in style. SoffSeal # is 9009. Pricing on their website shows $71 direct from them . I picked these up for $50 at CTC swap meet. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Subscribed! Just read every word of the thread. Great work so far.
I like your style. Your truck has a a lot in common with what i have planned for mine, so i'm very inspired watching yours come to life. I'm curious to see/hear what you've done with your frame and wheel tubs to fit the tires... Posted via Mobile Device

Thank you ! The rear frame rails are stock with only a c notch . Bed floor has been raised 3" and the wheel tubs are widened by about roughly 7" . Can't recall the exact measurement at the moment. Also, stock trailing arms are attached to a Porterbuilt crossmember for adjustability. The 9" rear has been narrowed to fit 20x12 wheels with a 4" backspacing . Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Wow. That's a sweet setup , Raul ! I have looked at FAST efi and they have some of the best stuff out there . I wound up making a killer deal on a Ram Jet setup from Street & Performance.
