I love the way the exhaust exits the back. Looks killer. Might look even cooler if it came out in the notch in the bumper where your plate goes. Of course, then you'd have to find another place for your plate.

No I didn't have any problems with tire clearance, but it had terrible ground clearance. I just took the truck to an exhaust shop here in town and they bent it up for me

No problem, it cost me $390 complete, and I already had the mufflers. I am mad because I forgot I had a universal X pipe stashed away, it would have been perfect.

LuckyHenriksen · 09-05-2008, 09:01 PM

So I finally got some new spindles, and set about trying to fix everything. I looked closer at the rotors/hubs and realized that the inside was all chewed up, so there goes a set of brand new slotted/drilled rotors.

Anyone have a good idea about what to do with them? Art project maybe? Anyways I had to pick up a set of stockers from NAPA for a '71 up. Still didn't get it all together. Heres a couple pics.

my67chevytruck · 09-05-2008, 10:16 PM

getting a little closer to getting it back together.

pyro883 · 09-05-2008, 10:49 PM

I noticed that you had braided brake lines...where did you find them at?

LuckyHenriksen · 09-05-2008, 11:31 PM

The braided brake lines were an upgrade package that came with the kit from performance online, they might sell them seperately I dont know.

cstm68 · 09-06-2008, 12:17 AM

that brake kit is not the cpp one is it??

nice project. last year for my senior project i was gunna do air ride on my truck but juyst ended up building a deck. :/

LuckyHenriksen · 09-06-2008, 03:57 AM

No all of the stuff I have is from POL (performance online). Ya i hope it turns out good, everyone at school is paitently waiting the unveiling.

any pics of the rotors?

LuckyHenriksen · 09-07-2008, 02:32 AM

I'll get some more when I put it all together.

LuckyHenriksen · 09-14-2008, 08:30 PM

Finally got the new springs in, and the spindles and everything installed. The new ride height looks much better.

Next is an alignment job and then we hit the road.
Im gonna look for some trim rings and maybe hubcaps or something to spice up the wheels a bit. Any ideas on what I could do to make them look nicer?

**steelhorse** · 09-15-2008, 08:53 PM

Are you planning on putting the chrome trim in the grill?

LuckyHenriksen · 09-15-2008, 09:19 PM

Ya I have new trim and a chevy symbol to go in the grille. I just have to figure out how those stupid clip things work

69ROTROD · 09-16-2008, 09:21 AM

Paint 'em. My brother powder coated his for his '67 and they turned out pretty sharp. His truck is blue and he went with black rims...looked pretty cool. We aren't big chrome guys though.

Riveted1 · 09-16-2008, 09:37 AM

Lookin good!

LuckyHenriksen · 09-18-2008, 07:48 PM

So my trans swap turned out good, but my TH400 isnt shifting. It just winds up high in first. If I stomp it to the floor it shifts. What could be wrong? I dont have any vaccum lines or anything hooked up to it yet. What all do I need to do to make it shift?
