I got the front springs swapped out in my k5 too, now I just need the exhaust redone and I'll be able to drive it a little more.

Adam,...
the crew is looking good!
Do you wish you would have done the flip kit in the rear?

I took the wife and kids to a car show. Some good stuff out there. Maybe 150 vehicles total. But a good time. Then we went the back way back home to stop and check out a crew dually I saw last week. It was pretty clean but a 4x4. So I was not so interested. But a nice truck anyway. I was supposed to make room in the garage for the 67 Biscayne that is coming over this week for me to do the body & paint work on. My poor truck will be outside because of that. Oh, well. hoping this will be the car that really puts me on the map out here.

Thanks. No, I think it would be too low in back if I did the flip, I still have another inch on the shackle to lower it so it should sit right where I want it (right on top of the tire).

Correct. That's what I believe them to be.

Started the body work on my 87, first by pulling a bad dent on pass door and started the block sanding...

[Prong]

Got my frame and most of my small parts back from the powdercoaters on Friday, so I got this done this weekend:




I should have the rest of the stuff midweek, so I plan to get the springs, axles, steering stuff, and gas lines all put back in there next weekend.

[Driveway Dreams]

Wow, looks to be coming along nice.

Here are 2 square body trucks from the show I went to. And 1 that is not square but too cool not to show you all. The dark red 75 was absolutely stunning original looking. You can see more older Chevy trucks & other random vehicle pics in my post in the Colorado forum.

I didnt get anything truck related done other than making an order to Brothers Getting some new front grill trim and some new headlight trim for the 87.

x2! got the front end painted, and added some little things, went to the cruise tonight, raced a guy who thought he was cool, totally kied a** as usual, but got to the lot and heard a clicking :S hoping its just a push rod tho

I put $70.00 worth of gas in the tank. Ouch!!

[D13]

Nada. Forced to go shopping both days (redoing the youngest's bedroom. Apparently my input is important).

Very disappointed in the diesel, only got 22mph last tank. Guess I'll have to replace the pump after all (since I know the advance is worn).

[Restrorob]

Found out why my 97 left me on the side of the road;





Yeah....That's the hose off the tank sending unit, Sucked more air than fuel....

[TLoz]

Finished wet sanding the suburban while watching the Brickyard race. Got the paint booth all set up. Ready to spray as soon as I get the $1300 in paint material.

[N2TRUX]

I got back late last night, and was too tired to download my pics. I found out that one of my camera setting was off, so many of them are not very crisp.

I delivered my 77 to my buddy Rogers shop outside of Rockwall. Even though he just opened, and has no sign out his shop is full of nice projects. His reputation follows him, and so do his customers.

[N2TRUX]

My truck was actually being used as a truck, even if it did make the trip on a trailer. It's a good thing I did trailer it though. When I got there, I noticed brake fluid dripping in my rear wheel.

Here's the load of goodies I delivered. It's a complete new suspension package from Air Ride Technologies.

[N2TRUX]

While I was there, I couldn't resist the temptation to play "what if" with some of Keith's (n2billet) wheels.

What do ya think?

[N2TRUX]

One more for good measure. There were several high end projects in various stages of construction at the shop. This 67 Nova was my favorite.

I like these rims. I cant wait to see your truck when its done

[Igotachevyor2]

I got the 78 donor truck tore down. the frame is in the garage and waiting on me to find the time to start mating body to frame. pics inside

[kevinmfduane]

added some power steering fluid when i realized the cap had a small hole in it that allowed it to leak. pulled my dash cluster out and started painting everything white to have brighter gauges at night, also bought all new 168 bulbs to replace my current dash bulbs.

[menace121978]

went out and touched bases with a local salvage yard for a 5.3/4l60 on sat. sunday spent the day w/ my dad at a family bbq. good times... its funny how i always end up working my @ss off over there though

ken your truck looks awesome with the coys but i honestly like the vintecs (sp?) better. just looks more finished. maybe if the coys were polished! just my .02. good thing that rear brake is leaking... now you can get the rear disc kit you have been shopping for. cant wait to see what your buddy does to her!

Nice,... But I'd rather see it rolling a set of Billet Specialties "Bonnevilles". These are my favorite wheel right now.
At over $1000 per wheel,... I'll let you choose "polished" or "grey powder coated". Ha.

Also,... what's the name of the new shop? (Roger's Out Specialties?)

I agree! It sets off the chrome trim on the truck dramatically. Wouldn't change a thing...imho.
