Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I took the '67 and '75 for a short drive out in the country to get them some exercise. Of course I took the '67 first since it has the 454 and wanted to have little fun.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I swapped out the old 6 lug axle shafts for new ones... the old ones had been sitting around my buddy's barn and had pitted races... I put those in last weekend... also installed my sway bar! 1-1/16" bar... OMG What A Difference!!!!

So sense last weekend my truck has new rear axles, bearings, new gear oil, a sway bar, new backup/safety switch, new dimmer switch pigtail, new to me chrome bumper, and turned drums. the truck is really starting to come into its own.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I primed my inner fender wells front and rear, radiator support, bed cross braces. I am borrowing my old 72 tomorrow and going on an 8 hour cruise to pick up new bed sides and tail gate. Paint is real close

Are those rally rims? What size are the back ones and did you have to narrow the frame?

Yes they are rally's & no I did not narrow frame. I made the back wheels from 15 x 15 blanks from speedway & the centers from a set donor rally wheels. New wheel blanks have no provisions for trim rings, so I made up a set of fake bead locks, welded them to rims so I could mount mirrored SST trim rings to. Rear end is a Dana 60 I narrowed & then hung with my own triangulated 4 link & coil overs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Coming down to the final wire. Bleeding the brakes, picking up the drive shaft tomorrow, sending to the exhaust shop early next week and test fitting the 20" wheels. Should be on the streets of Colorado within the next few weeks, just in time for summer.

Talking Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Drove it in to work tonight for the first time in over a month. Truck has been sitting in the garage since I got home from Myrtle beach car show with the dash out of it to send the gas gauge off to be fixed.
Got it back together today before coming to work. It all worked and the gas gauge seems to be working fine. I gave it a quick bath and took these with my Iphone.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
