Re: 68 project

That looks gorgeous! What is the height drop you have it at? Also, are you still planning on doing the C-notch, or has that idea come and gone?

Re: 68 project

That's looking so good! I'm excited to see what it looks like once it settles with the motor weight and front end back on. And nice job on aligning the bed! I see a lot of trucks with misaligned beds.

Same here. It's the first thing I notice on a truck if the bed is misaligned.

Think you'll make it to the first Kernersville cruise? I'm hoping to as well but I keep running into setbacks. We'll see.

I am not sure that I will, still quite a bit of work to do. I do not really want to start driving it until it is complete or it won't get finished

Projects like this may be finished, but they are never done!

Re: 68 project

I had that same track bar on my last truck. I had the huge diff cover too and it worked like a charm. I had to get a custom PB bar for Walter though due to the dropmembers.

Re: 68 project

That's a neat looking track bar. I may have to get me one of those. Does it adjust up at the stock mount end? And does it come with a spacer for the left trailing arm to match the bracket on the right side?
