Re: Barn raising
I hear ya, could you tell me the original paint color code for that. I'm painting my truck that color but I would like some confirmation that I have the right one. There were not a lot of trucks with that color. Did you have the teal or aqua colored interior also. I got my color matched to a GMC color and the truck had a teal interior, which is not available as a reproduction.
Thanks

Re: Barn raising
A little bit of an update on the "other woman" as my wife calls it.
I had Ed Hanson muffler service install a set of Patriot side pipes. The pipes come with a silly four into one collector that only has one functioning pipe. I deleted that and bought a 3.5 mandrel bent 90* pipe and had it chromed. Since these mandrel bent exhaust pipes are just pieces and not custom for the truck I had to weld a piece onto the end of the 90*. It came out great and chromed up awesome. ![]() ![]() Here is the weld ![]() Here is the mock up when I first got the side pipes, although I like the look of the collector, it is non-functioning so I remade it so it all works. ![]()

Re: Barn raising
Very nice! I like the look without the collector as well. The side pipes with the collectors seem to look better on a car to me.

Re: Barn raising
To me I like the sound of the glass packs a lot better than the Flow masters. It has a deeper tone and does not rattle as much under throttle. I took a video of it but the speaker clipped out as soon as I started up the truck and it reduced the sound so it is hardly audible. I will take another one and post it up then.

Re: Barn raising
Nice build. The custom personal touches really clean it up and make it stand out. I like that rear suspension setup. How's the ride with it? Thanks. And a super good deal on a nice truck you picked up to start the project with. Thanks again.

Re: Barn raising
It rides real nice for it's stance. Most of the coil springs lowered trucks I have had or ridden in have been too bouncy. Made sure I did this one right and spent the money on better components.
A couple more tweaks to get it just right; I had been switching back and forth from the 250# to the 300# springs in the rear and settled on the 300's mostly because I am leaving it a long bed now so it may need to hold more weight sometime. I also lowered it another 2 inches with lowering blocks so I could still maintain 3" of travel in the shocks, it is now a true 4/6. I made the blocks myself because I could not bring myself to spend $90 on a couple of blocks of aluminum with holes in them. Although I liked the rake I still wanted it to sit a little more level. ![]()

Re: Barn raising
Nice truck! I love it! You did great one the rear suspension! The front suspension looks like a 20 grand show truck! Word's cannot describe! What year car did the rear come from? What brand coil-overs? Man, I love it!

Re: Barn raising
Thanks guys for the encouragement!
The Rear end was out of a '77 Mark V. The E-brake lever arms did not work with my application so I found some 80's Lincoln calipers levers that work better with the geometry of my suspension. I had to make special brackets to hold the cables but it all work great. The coil overs are Bilsteins with 300 # springs. Has a real nice ride not too bouncy but not soft in the corners. I will be putting a 1'' sway bar on soon.

Re: Barn raising
It really is not that hard to get them looking really nice. The press we have at work is really big but you can accomplish the same thing with one half as big. If you are restoring an aluminum plate it will be even easier.
