So what kind of power booster/MC setup are you running?

Reason I asked is I have a frame mounted PB/MC from Scott's Hot Rods that one day I'll be installing.

Just curious how you are mounting yours.

NINERS1 · 03-07-2010, 12:07 AM

Great thread!! what kind of paint did you use on the a-arms on the long bed front end?? I'm getting ready to do my front end and love that look!

Thanks, it is Rustoleum hammered finish black for the frame and silver for the A-arms. Also used the spray primer because it is an etching primer w/ rust converter (can be sprayed over rusty metal) although I had the frame down to bare clean metal anyways I figured it was extra insurance. Has been very tough so far. Only complaint is being hammered it's harder to get the dust off but that's a small complaint.

NINERS1 · 03-07-2010, 08:18 AM

Thanks for the info!!!! can't wait to see your truck complete!!!

0331grunt · 03-07-2010, 06:02 PM

I have noticed the dust problem with mine as well, but again, it is a small problem! NINERS1- I am doing the same thing with mine. Looks great! Maybe you can see it at the meet-n-greet...

Jonathan, why is your name now VA72C10?? Keep up the great work! Cant wait for progress on the SWB!

It's always been that. When I first looked at the truck it was in Craigslist as a 72 and had a 72 front clip. Couldn't see it was 6 lug at the angle of the pictures. I was researching on here and wanted to start asking questions so I signed up assuming the truck I was going to buy was a 72. Well, got there and it was a 70 with a 72 front clip. Name has stayed the same. I do have a pair of CHERRY 72 doors going on the cab and the frame is from a 68 I believe so I guess I'm VA687072C10

VA72C10 · 03-08-2010, 10:54 AM

Oh, wait, you mean the RED

I'm now a "High Octane" member since I'm selling so many parts. Needed to upgrade to that.

I dunno what the pink stands for, and don't want to, but I gotta change it quick!

The pink is just a registered user. Pony up the fees and become a site supporter and you get to be blue

.

Yeah. I was refering to the red, that's cool about the high octane deal!
