Go with the cowl hood on the 67/8 front end for sure

SB406 · 07-07-2006, 11:24 AM

Looks great! What size rubber do you have on it?
My guess is 255/70R15's all the way around

glock35ipsc · 07-07-2006, 11:28 AM

Thanks!! Fronts are 245/60-15, and rears are 275/60-15, all on 15x8's.

Bob, since you're still on the fence about the hood.........go with the stocker.

glock35ipsc · 07-08-2006, 11:04 AM

The more I look at the truck, the more I really don't care for the cowl hood. It's just not the look I want. I guess if I had tubbed it and had it sitting lower it might look right to me. So I think I will go with a flat hood.

The search begins......

You want me to midnight auto supply your old hood from next door?

Let me know if you make a "parts run" over there, I could use a few things too.

Why not, if you have a chance!

It would be a year before he ever knew!

Well, I cleaned up the SWB drive shaft I bought a year or so ago, painted it, installed new u-joints and a new yoke. Slid it in, and it is about 2"-3" too short!

Guess that's what I get for not checking everything first

So I guess I'll have this one shortened, probably cheaper than having a new one made, but the new u-joints are probably a gonner if I have it shortened. I imagine they will have to remove them to shorten it?

Just had my 71' done. Driveshaft had to be lengthed 2". $129.99. They did a fine job and done in 24 hrs.

looks good especialy for a days work

glock35ipsc · 07-09-2006, 08:27 PM

Damn Alex, we should have traded! Mine is too long by about 2", and yours was too short by about 2"!

Who did yours? I have a couple of places up here in Fort Collins that could do it, but I haven't had any driveshaft work done since 91.
