Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
yeah, it would be nice to know (though I'm not worried about it). I'd suggest posting something about it in the LSx swap section of the forum.

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
You may addressed this but I just found this thread. The whole lt1 rear disc breaks, did you use the factory bracket and what rotor did you use. The lt1 has 4x4 3/4 bolt pattern not the 5x5 correct? I seen this conversion in car craft or hot rod and thought cool (cheap) way to rear discs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

![]() I finished up my MBA in January and got a new job as an Engineering Manager so we just moved last week. The house we'll be renting for a year only has a 2 car garage so I won't be getting any new projects and since my Chummins is essentially done, I'm hoping to do a few upgrade/fixes/improvements on this truck. One thing I have to do is replace an A/C fitting. Apparently the fitting rubs on the frame with the engine movement, so it wore a hole in the fitting, so I don't have A/C. ![]() |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Hey! My old hometown! It's nice there, good schools. If you're lookin' to buy, look at the neighborhood off the NE corner of 53rd and Meridian. 1 acre lots, hardcore motorsports neighborhood. I still have some friends that live there. Nearly everyone has a shop out back and does wheels and motor stuff. Rio Vista Estates, on Meridian just south of the river is that way also, just not as big of a lot. Congrats on the new gig!

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
A little update:
As I posted earlier we moved into a rental house back in July. The 2 car garage was pretty small and I could barely get my 68 in the garage and it was a pain. I didn't drive it once it was parked in the garage. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and we bought a house. The house has a 4 car attached garage and a shop. I got the 68 moved over to the new shop: ![]() The truck looks a little lonely sitting there all by itself. I got all of my equipment into the garage and still have some organizing and setting up to do before I'm ready to go to work. The 68 needs a few things like a new power steering gear box, the A/C line fixed, and a temp sensor. I'm hoping to get it out and drive it more too! The heated shop is 52x42 and it has a heated "rec room" thats 16x42 with a bathroom! It also has a 36x42 pole barn attached to it. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
When I looked at the pic of your truck all by itself in the shop, I thought, "Wow, that shop is huge." Then I read the dimensions, and laughed because I am building a 40x50 shop right now. Very nice!
