Same thing n2billet did on his project Lucy.

**lolife99** · 09-08-2010, 07:26 PM

Rob,...
maybe these will help.
They are from n2billet's red 1968 "Lucy" build.
One of my favorite trucks ever.
Sorry about hijacking your thread.

Painter D · 09-08-2010, 08:00 PM

Those are much better pics of what I'm talking about. What you see in the pics "lolife" posted is exactly what I did. It may not seem like that would free up a whole lot of room in there but it does.

That's not threadjacking , that's just helpin a guy out. Don't sweat it.

Who knows, maybe someday they will be. They'd be the must have for increasing the lip on the rear wheels.

WOW!! I'm almost speachless. Your truck is beautiful. I can only aspire for my truck to be half as nice as yours. Love the color, drivetrain, wheels, everything! I'm still in aw.

**67cheby** · 09-09-2010, 05:45 PM

heres mine, with a lifted bed floor it does clear up a lot of room

Painter D · 10-07-2010, 09:07 PM

After recently going to a few Goodguys shows I got a little motivated and decided to clean up my guage cluster area. So I ditched the column mount tach that I had ,flat blacked the cluster , painted needles orange, and cleared the see through plexiglass in front of the guages themselves.

Here's some before and after pics, the last pic is the before pic.

VA72C10 · 10-07-2010, 09:14 PM

Looks good....but how did you get it so smooth before? Just sanding down or using body filler?

n2billet · 10-07-2010, 10:08 PM

What do you think about these? You need all the gauges you can get to read that 502!

jasonhall · 10-07-2010, 10:11 PM

Those are awesome..whats the cluster cost?

Painter D · 10-07-2010, 10:26 PM

Those are pretty cool. I wonder if you can get any air ride P.S.I. guages in any of their configurations?

The more common issue is the wheel lip contacting the a-arm when using 3" dropped spindles. This is typically remedied w/a little creative grinding.

This is all correct, thanks for the help SCOTI.

djw32 · 01-04-2011, 02:27 PM

Does anyone have a pic of where this creative grinding would take place?

The blue tape shows the area that was already ground.
Basically the lower edge is "cleaned up" and about 1" of the lip is removed from the front and rear side of the a-arm.

You will still need to check for clearance issues with the truck on the ground.
Also turn the wheels to the left and right and check for rubbing against the wheels.

Black Widow Customs · 01-10-2011, 02:40 AM

Very Nice truck.. I was Reading Thru the new Goodguys Gazzete Mag. And there was a good pic of your truck in there from a goodguys show.. and also a green Blazer on torque thrusts .. and green Stepside on coys... Better Check it out!! Ibelieve its the feb 2011
