Re: 67 long box
The blue radio/ player is for motorcycles and is a china knock off. It has a usb, sd card, fm , mp3, 1/8 jack that I added a blue tooth module to. It has enough power to rum the three ways and a sub amp. I bought both radio and Bluetooth units off amazon, the Bluetooth module needs to be turned on and off every time. Not a plus but I can route the cable to my ashtray.

Re: 67 long box
Looks better than the springs. Some kind of black stretchy material.

Re: 67 long box
Perfect fit easy access to the panels and plenty of room when open. Another upgrade checked off the list.

Re: 67 long box
made up some rear fender supports as the old deflector plates don't fit. Had to cover the power fuse it looked to new and just didn't look right.

Re: 67 long box
Working on the door logo and I'm liking it. I picked up the pulleys to hook up the A/C, sand blasted and painted.

Re: 67 long box
Pulleys painted and ready. I found two sway bars today, couldn't pass up a deal. I ordered a new set of grease able bushings and new front springs. I'm not happy with the ride.

Re: 67 long box
It looks like I put some miles on it but it's still purdy. Not much for exhaust but the basics.

Re: 67 long box
A simple set of brackets to hold the sway bar are 80 to 100 bucks to get them here in Canada. There are no scrap yards with these years trucks around here. I would be broke if I couldn't make this stuff. Crazy.

Re: 67 long box
New front springs and sway bar. It's sitting at just the right height, now to remount the rear sway bar. It's all covered in bugs and mud from a buddies cottage last year.

Re: 67 long box
Put my rear sway bar back in. I hope it rides better, it should, I really need to drive the truck when it rains so the bottom can get washed.

Re: 67 long box
Very nice work as usual. Still one of my favorite trucks. Question- is that rear sway bar something you made and I missed it, or a modified one? Looking at your pick, I think I could make it work with my c20 leafs....

Re: 67 long box
Thanks man , it's my own design and built from scratch. I based it on the Hotchkis rear sway, but it didn't cost 1000 bucks.

Re: 67 long box
I have the ability but not a lot of money and I hate paying for a name. I can say I built my truck. It's back out at the end of the month, can't wait. You could have one fabbed up by a welding shop very easily. Some Chromalloy round bar with 2x3 HHS tube, and the sway bar bushing kit is 64 impala front , but that's my way of thinking.
