I used the CPP kit! I want recommend it though! It's lacking a lot but over all it's all there. The kit lacks instructions for details that you just have to figure out your self. Like the spacers. I ended up not using either one of them. had to add washers to the drivers side and nothing on the passenger side. Brackets to hold brake lines were wrong size. T bolts aren't grade 8 that hold the bracket's on. Calipers are a ***** to get to grab and adjust. I spent 20hrs the last 2 whole days to get them installed. Here is a link with more about the install. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=647684

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Made me a set of Rear Drop Blocks today, I made four 1inch blocks so I can to 1 or 2 inch option over and above the already installed Jeep TJ rear springs.
made the blocks 7inchs long and 4 1/4inchs ctc on the holes. Ubolts are 3/4 thread I had a one size bigger 13/16 cause that's the only big drill bit I had kept the bit lubed with PB blaster on the drill press and drilled smoothly. Here are all my parts ready to go in maybe this week or next weekend. |

I changed out my leaking heater core and replaced the blower motor while I was at it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I have become fronds with a local powder coater here recently. I asked if I could use his blast booth to blast my cab. I was happy to give him some cash. He refused to take the cash, so I brought him some liquid refresents.
Here are some pictures of it before it went in. I forgot to snap some pictures of the finished product.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got rid of these ugly humps on the radiator support, ran out of co2 for the welder so couldn't finish. Also sanded on the firewall a little bit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I turned the psi way down on my sandblaster and blasted a spare fender just to see how it would do. Surprisingly it worked very well. No warping. Psi was about 50. Took longer than usual but I am happy with the results. I kept the media flowing almost parrarel to the panel, barely touching the panel. I am confident I can blast most of my panels this way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Are those keys hanging from that little chain to the left at the bottom of the dash?
Speakin' of "hangin", you have some tasty stuff on your garage walls.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I removed the only good board left in the bed to use as a pattern to cut the radius around the wheel wells. I got a late start on it today and was dark-thirty by the time I finished getting the good board out. Damn daylight savings time! lol
