Re: 67 long box
Going to use a factory side mount to hold it? There are some out here in AB.
Hey we are back in Ayr the week of May 11th to 18th. Would love to swing by and have a peek at the truck.

Re: 67 long box
Good to hear I'll be around that week so sure give me a shout when. I'm home anytime is good. I'm trying to figure out the mount yet but something custom and look like it could be factory.

Re: 67 long box
Wheel tub is done, I put some 3/16 round bar on the bottom to keep a gap between the tire and a drain hole. Sprayed it with stone guard and done.

Re: 67 long box
Took it out for a spin/100 miles after I put in the spare tire tub. First run of the year and it felt great. It was so nice to hear that old engine I didn't turn the radio on.

Re: 67 long box
Just like all the mods you have done it turned out great, creative modding is the reason this is one of my favorite builds.

Re: 67 long box
Thanks man. Nothing is impossible if want to spend money, it's the challenge to create without money. All it takes is an idea and a crap load of knowledge, ability, and a couple of hand tools. I have tried to learn every part of building so I can have a truck I built. Tequila can also add to your creative thoughts, it's worked for me LOL.

Re: 67 long box

Re: 67 long box
Thanks. Had it out for a spin and now has quieter doors after I put rubber anti vibration on the rods. Trying to find rattles when you're deaf in one ear makes it tough when driving.

Re: 67 long box
Thanks Big block, I'm in the process of making a hold down strap. The front will hook on and the back will have the flip lock.

A bit of paint and it's good to go.

Re: 67 long box
Added a custom touch to the tire strap, I put stickers down put three coats of paint on it. Took the stickers off and put 2 more coats on so the CHEVROLET is sunken in.

Re: 67 long box
This is where all the magic happens and was the best deal for a case of beer. 33"x22"x1" precision ground top plate of steel.

Re: 67 long box
Good work on the spare strap setup. Looks like something the factory should have done.

Re: 67 long box
Not sure where I got the idea but I like it and the letters make it look like it was stamped. Looks like it could or should have been factory.

Re: 67 long box
I like this pic, it all looks like it came that way but, 2 inch bed raise, 2 inch wheel mini tubs, cantilevered tailgate, sunken spare, respaced composite deck boards and all screw down bed from the top.

Re: 67 long box
I'm real happy with the Vintage air kit, 85 degs today and 41 deg out of the vents. So glad I put it in instead of the air ride. If I had the money maybe air ride too. Makes driving it more funner.

Re: 67 long box
Took it down to local swap meet this morning and to a show tonight. Lots of miles today.
