Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Rex!
I'm still confused? I went back to my ebay and I defienetly bought the offset/offset. I think when I called them about the other ones it confused the guy in shipping. He actually told me what the best offer they would accept on the center/offset, then I went and submitted it on the number you told me. Anyway, it's water under the bridge. I'm cool with the exhaust being on the quiet side as long as it flows good. By design these should flow great! |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Im kinda glad your gonna go with a different cab. I went back and forth on my drip rail for a few months trying to decide if i was gonna keep it or not. I decided to keep it and im gonna try to scavenge a set of 68 side mouldings. Im trying for a factory custom look on mine. Just wondering if a shaved firewall and capped wire rail would be too much?

I am going for the full factory look but subtle custom tweaks here and there with a modern drivetrain. I hope to get the new cab off this weekend. I have to work on my radiator support too. I thought I had a good one stashed. Turns out I need to repair one or get a new one. Update: I got the LS engine running ![]() I had a few issues with bad gas stuck in the fuel rails. I got it all cleaned out and it actually runs pretty good. It had a bunch of exhaust leaks because I left the gaskets out. Once I put the gaskets in and fired it up, it sounds great. It's quiet until I step on the pedal. I only ran it a few seconds since the radiator isn't connected. When I get the core support figured out I will get some video of it running. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Congrats on the LS engine start!
I'd like to find someone to do a complete LS install in one of my trucks. (hint, hint) ![]()

The clogged fuel rails and injectors seem to be pretty common with these swaps. |
