**LEEVON** · 06-01-2010, 03:00 PM

Nice, there's something about the original air cleaner that is just right.

**67cheby** · 06-01-2010, 03:04 PM

im pretty pumped about it , i think the 67-68 air cleaner is pretty wicked looking

72BlckButy · 06-01-2010, 03:07 PM

That will look good.

RocketKing · 06-01-2010, 03:37 PM

Did you think I said FREE?? I said THREE... you owe me THREE steak dinners. No wonder you looked so excited. LOL

Just kiddin' It was great to meet you and I am glad you liked the air cleaner. Your truck is seriously gonna rock.

**67cheby** · 06-01-2010, 03:47 PM

mac72 · 06-19-2010, 11:19 AM

Hey cheby what did you end up doing w/ your bed floor particularly raising your bed sides & wheel wells.Have you redone them yet? I'm about at that point & my bed sides are new. Being a mechanic not a bodyman my nerves are frazzled just thinking about cutting into inner body panels & I only want to do it once.Any advice would be appreciated! Mac

**67cheby** · 06-19-2010, 11:28 AM

i am not raising mine anymore than i have .... i am just going to have to notch the bed floor , the raising the bedfloor is a huge job to do it right, like i said when i first raised the bed floor i wasnt planning on going anywhere near this low and i just wanted to cover my notch ,, so now i have a raised bed floor and a cut out, the nice thing is the raised bedfloor allowed me plenty room for my fuel cell ( which doesnt hang below my frame at all) and for all of my air ride to be underneath..... all that being said ITS A LOT OF WORK !! ask me any questions you would like i will sure try to help you

mac72 · 06-19-2010, 11:37 AM

Thanks man, I'm leaving to go to the shop right now & I'll grid it & measure it I'll inquire before I cut. Mac

72BlckButy · 06-19-2010, 02:34 PM

Feeling pic withdrawal....

Any pic updates?

**67cheby** · 06-19-2010, 02:59 PM

progress has stopped , i bought a little dune buggy to fix up and try to make a little money.....well you know how that goes, i now have a fortune in it, if i see something that needs fixed i cant leave it,all or nothing i guess, boy i am sure going to have a sweet dune buggy though, hopefully in about 2 weeks i will be back at the truck, how about a BEFORE pic of the Dune Buggy

Painter D · 06-19-2010, 03:39 PM

AW, come on now. Dune buggies aren't nearly as cool as your truck.

**67cheby** · 06-19-2010, 03:46 PM

trying to make a little money for the Truck !!,,, it has also turned into one of those SNOWBALL purchases.. i bought it intending on getting it running and selling it, now complete restoration !! NOW i REGRET buying it because i cant just "HALF #!@$" anything i have got to go all the way !!! and i am wasting time working on it when i should be working on the truck ... i was getting a little burned out on the truck though maybe this will re light my fire for the truck

there was some english saying in racing : to finish first first you have to finish
i think it goes for pricewinning cars and trucks too

just reading some of your thread, nice work BTW, I was wanting to know why you had to move the trailing arm crossmember back an inch. is it to center the rear wheels while laid out? just curious

**67cheby** · 06-21-2010, 04:34 PM

yes i moved it back an inch when i was just going run the stock control arms when i switched to the porterbuilt 4 link i moved it back to the orig location.....

**67cheby** · 06-23-2010, 05:03 PM

Awesome!! My body shop got busy and set mine aside again. Ugh. Hopefully an update when I go check it out tomorrow.

I'll continue to live vicariously through you while you put yours back together. Can't wait to see the progress pics!
