Truck is looking fantastic, I was curious about the single strut you used for your hood hinges. I have Nate's dual option and my hood doesn't open very far. I've also noticed it doesn't want to stay open and I think it's not so much the strut strength as the hood not being past that point where stress is off the struts.

Your making good progress. On your inner rockers it looks like you have a good floor return lip on them. Who did you get those thru? All the one's I have installed only have a vertical lip to weld to the floor. I make mine alot do it has that lip that yours has. Also do they have the curved ends that meet up to the A and B post like the stock parts have? A better pic would be great since you are in a holding patern right now!

Thanks,

I am down to my 72 SWB now but still have extra parts. Seems like almost everyone who has done a project like these has had either an extra truck for parts or has done other trucks and has extra parts lying around.If Im ever back in Tulsa again I would like to stop by,Im a little less than 2 hours away in Ft Smith.

I lived in Tulsa for a few years,first near the University,then moved to Catoosa for a while and moved away right before the Big Tornado hit out there.

well i alwayed liked the 67-72 style trucks (more the 67-68) i always told my girlfriend (now wife) "im gonna get me a 68 shortbed step side and put a LS1 in it" i said that for years, till i finally found mine....that would be when i really got into trucks, during the process of my build up, ive done; my truck, another 68 LWB, a friends 69 SWB, another buddy of mine 72, killer71 (71 SWB), then 71HULK, after that ive got a orange 71SWB in the line-up.....but before it was trucks it was cars mainly firebirds....70-78 (not a huge fan of 79-81)
stop by whenever you like...

I seen your white Firebird in the background of a few pictures,very clean and I like that body style also. For the last 5 years I have been doing 2002 and Up Dodge Rams much like you are doing the 67-72 trucks. I have had tons of trucks from the DFW and Houston areas and have also had California as well as Georgia guys come here for suspension drops and high performance parts installs. A guy from Atlanta Georgia was here for 3 days,I did a 1.5-3.5 drop,headers,elec fan,6.1 Hemi cam install,custom y-pipe in the exhaust,4.56 gear and Detroit True Trac install. There is a member here I know who is from DFW area who I supplied his drop kit,disc brakes conversion and parts to named 1970shortbed.
