I really liked the overall look at quality of work that those guys do for the chassis. Great choice!
That Pullmax will be a game changer for you!

That frame is so nice! That pullmax is nice too! Now you have a good donor engine so the next sema build should be a crew cab dually.

Nice frame! I wish I had the space to do a full frame swap.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
How about a few updates on Cloud 9.5. I have been working on running all the 3 inch Flowmaster stainless exhaust, using Deeds Eng billet exhaust hangers, we also got the Currie 9 inch in with 35 spline axles, Wave Trac locker, 3:50 gears (since we are going 5 speed this time) I test fit the cab on that beautiful GSI Chassis this weekend! I also stripped all the wiring out of the cab to do it over and do it right this time....I did it myself last time and this time I am getting help, we will be using the new Painless Pro-Series wiring and my friend Brock will be in charge!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I test fit my mock up engine and TK0 600 5speed, and set the LSA blower on....its going to fill up that engine compartment very nice!
I went through several sets of headers trying to find some that fit, these are from Ultimate Headers and man are they SICK they sent them to me tacked together so we could test fit them then i will send them back and get them finish welded and fully polished...they look like jewelry when they are polished out! |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
I started a kind of step by step install of the Altman Easy Latches from Trique Mfg, i was so sick of slamming my doors, i cant wait to get these finished up!
Very easy and detailed directions for the install. I couldnt finish this up just yet i need the truck off of the lift to easier access the door jamb. |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
last night i started working on another of Cloud 9's problem areas. The self leveling Evercoat drip rail sealer that we used had started cracking, it made me worried that some rust had came up from underneath. I had personally cleaned it out the first time and i knew that the metal was perfect underneath. Turns out it is still perfect so i have no idea why it cracked out. I also had a couple bubbles come up in the cab corner area, i guess there must be some tiny pinholes in some of the weld spots?
