Yeah, I have the same kit. I can't even get the provided cable installed and there be any compression left in the cable spring. Do you have any prob with that? I'd think the big honking spring on the caliper would be more than enough to facilitate the disengagement of the parking brake...right?

Heck, I'm thinking about at least starting in Memphis. I'd love to meet up with y'all!

How much too narrow?
Your 10's will only stick out .250" more per side than these.
8.5" wheel (with 4.75" BS) vs. 10" wheel (with 6" BS)

He is going to be running wider rubber too, which will help some too.

Keith, just meaning the overall width of the tire. You're absolutely right. 20x8.5 / 4.75 BS vs. 20x10 / 6 BS Would add 1.25 to the back side of the wheel and stick out .25 more to the front side. While 'narrow' under the bed could mean something different .. just saying overall the width of the tire just looks a little narrow compared to the 295s

Just wanted to post a picture of my ole 69. Original California car, all original GM Metal, pans, etc. 350/360HP LT1 (0010) built by Race Engine Design here in Chattanooga. Probably 400HP or so. 286 Cam, roller rockers, headers, flows, 3310, etc. 350TH Built 2800 stall. It was a neat old car. I paid $2500 for it, and it sold for almost $25,000.

Not an original SS car. Xcode delete Van Nuys Car. Auto / Staple type shifer with a console. I bough the car when I was 17. Kept it about 16yrs and sold it for a CRAZY Now, EX wife.

First -- Thanks for all the compliments on my ole Camaro. I appreciate it. I miss that car man. I miss it bad. It wasn't a SEMA show winner or anything but Dad and I built it. It was #1 out of the shop. .. No way I could replace it now for $25k.


quick question - As most of you who have followed know, with the PB upper shock bar. How are you running the upper shock bolts? There is a hole in the PB upper bar that appears to be 5/8". My stock shock bolts are about a 32nd larger than the hole.

Should I just open the hole up a little? Is there a specific bolt Nate likes to use? I'm not 100% sure these are stock. I had some old parts I got in trade so they may have come from them? (Ed, possibly the ECE shock relocator kit) I'm not sure.

It looks like if I opened this hole up just a hair they'd work beautifully I just don't want to drill the PB upper bar unless I just have to. Prob not a big deal but just thought I'd ask.

Ed -- We have an idea to show you on how we got the McGaughy's emergency brake cable working. I'll get dad to send some pictures. We moved the bracket off the side of the trailing arms. (The original bracket that held the parking brake cable) We just knocked the rivet out and moved it back. It's working now but the intermediate cable has too much strech in it. We need another piece of cable and re-do it.

What do I do with the shocks? Just open that hole up a bit?

[Rusbuilt]

Will this said bolt fit though your shock snug? I say if it does and you plan to run those shocks drill the pb holes bigger! I'm with you though on drilling something thats so pretty!! lol
