Re: Surf Blue
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.

Re: Surf Blue
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.

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

Re: Surf Blue
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.

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

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

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

Re: Surf Blue
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.

Re: Surf Blue
Great looking truck. Congrats on the magazine coverage! I see you are running bags in the front. Do you have bags in the back also? What brand of air system controller are you running?
