Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Thank you. Now for the not so good news. Drive shaft came apart on the Dyno while being tuned. LOL stupid hot rods. I knew the tube was probably a little smaller that it should be, but I didn’t think it was an issue. I am not make a lot of power. 380-400 at the crank. Like 310 at the wheels

Wow! If it didn’t tear anything up it’ll be worth it for the bragging rights.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Beat the hell out of my brand new exhaust, rear pinion needs replaced. Surely could have been worse. Pisses me off, but it is a fairly easy fix. Just have to throw dollars at it. That's the crappy part. Ugh, I'm tired of spending money LOL

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Very Nice! You did an excellent job!
Those belts need restored also. Here’s a set in Buckskin, before & after. These got new webbing.

I’m also getting some 20” rallies. I think that will make it look better.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Can you describe how the QA1 ride quaility is vs stock, what front spring rate did you go with and rear? I am just about to pull the trigger on buying the full front and rear QA1 set-up, just wanted to try and get a little insight as to how the driving quaility is first! A lot of cheddar to spend if its not extremly better than stock?
thanks ![]() |

That being said, I had the full setup on a '66 that I built as well. And I loved that setup too. I am a big QA1 fan. Great quality and performance. Worth the $$$ I did not use the rear setup on my square because it was already C notched and I did not want to remove it. It was welded in. The full kit is better all around. And I cannot adjust my ride height in the rear. I may re-do the rear setup at some point. Hope that helps

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Check it out. I got an original “dealer sticker” from the original dealer that my grandpa bought the truck from. I can see where the original one was, right above the tailgate handle. So when it comes in the mail it will get installed.
