Re: New member with a 1960
I like how you split the torsion bar cross member with the exhaust above....I may rethink mine, my x pipe now has a skid plate...lol
You can gain a little more clearance if needed on the torsion key bolts...see my link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=659224&page=3 Great work as usual !!! Joe |

Re: New member with a 1960
While your truck is up in the air would you mind measuring these to spots on the frame for me?

Re: New member with a 1960
Gained 3/4" is correct....they are now above my skip plate about an inch.

Re: New member with a 1960
So we tested everything out today...Lights, signals, horn, etc....Wheeeeew. It all works! I changed all lighting over to LED, Holy CRAP!!!!! Those lights are bright, its all 4 dim all 4 bright, I'm guessing they may be too bright!

Re: New member with a 1960
that exhaust system looks like art work...are you going to use some sort of heat shield between the mufflers and bed wood. they look close.
