![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nah, not yet. I am on the fence about when to do the install. The initial plan was to do the rear at one time and the front this winter, but I may wait until the winter to do the front and rear at the same time. ![]() As far as paint or powder coat, I am looking into the cost of both and weather or not I can get it done here in town. I like the hot rod black paint that n2billet uses, but the durability of powdercoat is nice too. Heck with all that said, I may just stop by Lowe's on the way home and buy some Rustoleum! I'm sure it would look fine until I tear the whole truck down for paint... in a few years. ![]()

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Have you decided "how much" the rear wheels need to move forward?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Looks to be between 1" and 1.5". I asked to have my trailing crossmember built 1.25" forward, unfortunately it doesn't look any different than a standard piece. I did it this way because the crossmembers are adjustable but only toward the rear, so I figured if i went too far forward I could either lengthen the heim joints or move the crossmember back 1 bolt hole. When I get started I will mark the floor and then roll the axle forward until it looks right and then mark the floor and measure the change. Hopefully that will give the vendors, including Nate, a good reference for dropped steppers.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I used rustoleum professional series primer and semi gloss black online and I think it looks great and also is easy to touch up.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I set out to get my Vintage Air A/C kit and Holley accessory brackets on order today but the "try and save a few $$" bug hit me. I got so wrapped up in finding the best deal I didn't get anything ordered.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
We'll, the A/C and accessory brackets brackets are on order. Chip at Summit Racing (ext. 6459) was great, he worked with Vintage Air to configure the kit for my application. Give him a shout if you have a similar setup and he will hook you up. I hope they can get it to me in the next week... it's getting HOT down here!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I don't really know how to express what I am feeling right now... I'm not really mad, but maybe a little. After my post, I got a couple of PMs with people telling me that they could have gotten it for this price or that price. So riddle me this... the next time I need a part can I post in the Vendors section what I want, and then have them post what they can sell it for? Is that acceptable? In this case I feel I paid a fair price and received outstanding customer service (so far lol), but maybe next time I can let the vendors battle it out for the sale...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
If you feel you did good and was treated like you wanted then your good. Soooo many people want to say hey try this one or that one. Whatever. I've had crappy service from the big guys slinging deals and crappy from the small ones. It's not always about price. It's about getting what you want at a price your cool paying.
Oh but I did save $342 by switching to GEICO.... ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

I do appreciate the sense of frustration you are experiencing from after-purchase sales pitch from a competitor. I've never felt good about that type of situation. It's happened to me a couple of times in the past. Just be glad you got the service you expected and a price you're happy with. Hopefully the service will remain as good as you expect. ![]()
