If you look at the pics, it was welded to the frame so probably not. You can take any hitch that's wide enough and cut it to fit between the frame rails like that.

Are you running 15x10's? if so where did you get your white walls at?
Again like your truck Alot
nice work.

No on this truck there 15x8's. I wish they were 10's but I had these wheels, so I'm goin to use them. I had a 67 swb that I bought these tires for and they were on 10's. As far as the tires go they are Diamondback Classics 245/60 front and 295/50 rear.

Sorry, Should of said I got one that needs to be laying rocker. But I've got Porterbuilt front and rear setup ready to go. It'll also have an Ls series motor. I've got a 5.3, but if I can come across a cheap 6.0. I'll build that.

Highperf4x4 is right. That was in the frame when I got it. It had to go. Some nasty welds.

HaHa, Pretty much everyone that has seen that air cleaner has tried to buy it from me. I've had been looking for one of those for several years. Finally found that one in this dudes shed, had to have it. The tank is a five gallon.

Man I love that car. Found that car in a barn, in a nearby town. It had been sitting for like 27 years. The guy pulled it in there to fix the fender and never finished. The car has 41,xxx orignal miles, but it's locked up tighter than anything I've seen.

No problem, I bought it from AVS, along with my bags and valves. I'm just running one. When I installed and put the nitrogen to it, it did have a small pin hole in it. Just welded it up.

Yes I did buy them new, but not for this project. I purchased them from Diamondback Classics. Great service!

By the way your truck is looking sweet.

Thanks for posting the link in your paint thread! Now I can see where you started and how far you have gone with this build.......WOW! Very nice work, hope to see it in person some day.

[oldblue1968chevy]

very nice i saved a few pics also thanks

[Mike J]

I love it dude! just my style. awesome work.

[67cheby]

did you build all of your hardlines yourself ??

[67cheby]

i would love to do all of mine in harlines but i need some help from someone that knows what they are doing , trying to figure out the right end to buy and how to bend and basically everything

[jwalk]

Yes I did all mine myself. I've never bent this much stuff before.... usually just a few small things. All I can say is plan it out as good as you can. I used some wire to figure out how I wanted it to run(I could of done a better job) I bent 1/2 inch so a good bender was a must. If I had to do it all again I'd used 3/8 and ran It all closer to the frame rails.

Let me know what questions you have. I'll try to help the best I can.....

[67cheby]

is it stainless, where is the best place to get everything , i wont need 1/2 inch , just 3/8 i want to do all of my brake lines also

[jwalk]

Yes it is stainless. I got hooked up on mine form a friend, but a local hydro hose/parker store priced it all to me and it was like $1,200 for all the fittings and stainless line. I'd try and get straight sticks and not wound up coils.
