Your trucks coming along nicely! looks like you close to being done.
Do you have any pictures of your completed track bar that you could post?

68 short step · 04-26-2008, 03:43 PM

i was talkin bout getting the steps painted.

bedsled71 · 04-26-2008, 04:22 PM

ok... i asked my wife " does my truck not look painted in these pictures or something" but then i was thinking maybe the steps were what your talking about

bedsled71 · 05-02-2008, 07:52 PM

yesterday i picked up some bilstien shocks from a place here in town that does lifts, they came off a toyota. they only cost me a case of beer.
right now im working on the brackets but decided to take a break. i will get some pictures up soon!

1 inch bumper drop

dieselarmy13 · 05-15-2008, 02:38 AM

Looks damn nice. I wish I had the huevos to takle something like that. By the way, I'm stealing your bumper drop idea!

Explain the bumper drop???

I was thinking of doing that trailer fender idea on my fronts...

Where did you get those fenders, and how much did they cost you?

bedsled71 · 05-15-2008, 03:37 AM

for the bumper drop i cut the front frame horns and droped them an inch. just like when you "z" the frame... i got the trailer fenders at farm and home store here in town. they were about 30 bucks each.

So the bumper is no longer aligned w/the body-lines on the fenders?

bedsled71 · 05-15-2008, 06:13 AM

bedsled71 · 05-15-2008, 06:20 AM

dieselarmy13 · 05-15-2008, 06:46 AM

I like it. And your right, no one would have noticed. Nice work.

68laydout · 05-16-2008, 12:13 AM

Looks stock to me.

I noticed that you seem to get some negativity in this post. Weird. Keep up the good work man.. Looks good. I love that rear end setup.

Missed this when you posted it. No negativity here, I think it looks pretty good with the top of the bumper even with the body line.

camaro__thunder · 06-25-2008, 03:23 PM

wow.. your front tubs look like mine.

I like the bumper drop. I did that to my 61 and tucked it in a little. Gives it a cleaner look.
