I paid $200 for them with tires and a parts truck, but I'm not even sure if I want to sell them......I need something to put on it when I park it for the winter....no way am I leaving my aluminum wheels sitting outside all winter long...at $500 a piece they'll be sleeping with me this winter! lol....but I'll keep you in mind...ya never know!

I'm gonna pass on the headers, not quite what I want, and maybe I'll find what I want next weekend...

[mooseknuckles]

found this today when I was checking things over....
might be hard to tell, but thats the upper shock mounting bolt with the rubber bushing on the top left!

SSDELUX....I dont know if you've ever been there before, but the Barrie automotive flea market is on next weekend sept 9-12, and is an awesome place to find some wheels, tires, or anything else you might ever need for your truck, car, or whatever. I'm def. going again this year!

....thanks for the tip.

[mooseknuckles]

Thanks to joe231. I just picked up a pair of these today.....front shocks installed on the rear......no more bounce.

[joe231]

they are much, much shorter....sorry i don't have the measurement, but I can get it for you in a few minutes

"It only took maybe an hour or so to prep it and put the resin and fiberglass cloth on, but the bodywork was alot longer. There's over a half gallon of Rage in it so between bondo-ing and block sanding probably 8-10 hrs, and it needs a few more to get it ready to paint."

You can get a "coverlay" for around $100...They fit great.

The dash does look great though. Any aluminum dash pictures guys?

[mooseknuckles]

..ya but its just a cover up! ....this way it's a permanent fix, and looks awesome when done right!.....this is not mine, but it's an example of how I want mine to look when painted....

[mooseknuckles]

my buddy dropped off my tires today, hope to get the fronts mounted and balanced this week or early next week.

[mooseknuckles]

just sent my front wheels and tires out to get mounted and balanced, should have them back later today or tomorrow...... can't wait, i'll post some pics later.

[joe231]

just checked the ones I have

My extra front shocks are 15" extended and 10" compressed
My rear are 23" extended and @15" compressed
those measurements are center of eye to center of eye
I ran my spare fronts on the back of my crew after the flip, I'm going to weld on new mounts to my axle and make some frame mounts inside the frame where I can run the longer shocks in the rear

Thanks joe...thats just about what I need. I'll have to try a set, my rear ones are way too long, they were allmost compressed all the time!

[joe231]

the small block one should fit since the big block uses the same compressor
