Re: What did you do to your truck today!
notches and rear mocked up and torn back down. I'll have about a 7 5/8" rear drop
ps dimple...installedstill undecided if I even want ps yet but I figured I'd do the dimple while I can been thinking about doing the caster mod. w.t.h all it involves is drilling a shallow hole right. I'll need to read up on it some more hopefully we are off too the blasters this week

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I think the magic is in the suspension work some people do ,not an engine combo, but comes down to what a person has done and familar to over the years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
When I install my 6" springs I'll be at about a 7 7/8" drop out back. Just for fun I set it on the ground with no springs to simulate an aired out bagged rear end. I like it

Re: Re : Uncles & Square Bodies
Thanks.I do every time I'm there.We have always been close but we're closer now I think.He told me alot the other day that he I had during my younger years that I had forgotten about doing. I didn't know there were other people around watching me for him. Kinda scary.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally got mine out of the garage under it's own power. Even took it around the block a couple of times. Sure feels good it's been sitting for 2 1/2 years. I still got a long way to go but it feels soooooo good!

Truck looks great and congrat on it moving on its own! BTW, what type of wheels are those? I don't think I have seen them before. They look very nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The truck was running like complete crap and shutting off, somehow the distributor came loose and causing all my problems but fixed it on the side of the road. It's running like a top again and even came home and gave her a bath

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Found the leak I couldn't find, the otherday at the muffler shop, '67 c10 lwb ss, '65 230, daily driver. A crack in the block behind the exhaust manifold pipe. Recently reveled by engine cleaning (scrape w/ putty knife). Great truck, just needs everything. So I shut my eyes and dumped in a bottle of bars original recipe. Does anyone know an expert (better than me) engine builder in Northeast Georgia? I am looking for a custom built complete L6 that I can dropin and drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Posted via Mobile Device. I used my plasma to cut out the center of my 68 air cleaner , then I used 2 hole saw's put together to cut the hole in the 2 barrel base. ( one hole saw as a guide and the other to cut the hole)
