Just out of curiosity, how is your turning radius at that height in your most recent pic? How much higher would you need to raise the bags to get the height needed to clear the 20's on the front, if at all? Thanks.
CLT, with it fully aired out, I will probably have limited turning radius, but to be honest I haven't tried it yet. I'll get back to you on that one.

Thanks Gringo! Your truck is looking good, I can't wait to see the LS Monster your building for it. I will probably be doing my 68 SWB like that in the future.....

It was pretty simple, actually. First, I removed the factory DBW plastic pedal. Then I drilled out the hole on the 72 factory pedal to match the pin size on the DBW pedal. Last, I reinstalled the 72 pedal and DBW spring on the DBW setup. That's it, .

Thanks for the info. I'm now on the hunt for a nice original 72 pedal.

I think new ones are pretty reasonable. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Got the new Dakota Digital gauges in today and I'm really impressed!!! I can't wait to get them wired. I think they will fit the Burb a little better than the AutoMeter setup (which should look good in the 68 when I LS swap it!!!). What do ya think? I'm probably going to go with the Dakota Digital A/C controller also, so it will all match .

Yeah, no doubt. I stuck Jakes truck in the house garage, so, hopefully there will be enough room to get this thing finished. Yours is looking good also. When are you going to do the electric?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)

Only have 2 yrs left here. Plus once someone buys my extra parts, I will double the space I have.... I am almost finished with the front suspension mounting points which will at least give me a roller for my current project and allow me to roll it out when I need space.
