Re: "All Out Original 72"

Folks, I have searched for a couple of months for the heat riser on the manifold. I found one, that is the best I have ever seen in person around TN. For some reason they didn't last long, we do have salt in the winter??? But the one I have just isn't good enough for this truck! I have missed every one of them sold here. It's being a real "Hold-up" on the engine compartment!

Doh! I know they're different - I was thinking your truck had the BB. Oh well, I'll keep an eye out.

I see you're putting the trim on - what the strategy for getting all the pieces to line up?

Re: "All Out Original 72"

Who's selling a good OEM aftermarket single exhaust? I have purchased the dual exhaust from LMC before, but they are not offering a single for a 350 cid. I want to buy one, fit it, then have it ceramic coated, then re- install. Thanks in adavance!

Re: "All Out Original 72"

The door trim is the starting point, I line it all up off the doors. That trim isn't adjustable. Doors, cab corners, fenders, and then the bed. I then take tape pinstripe, run a line, and adjust the trim as needed. I have shimmed the bed and a cab a little before to get it all straight.
And please keep an eye out for the shield. Thanks !

Re: "All Out Original 72"

great looking build, nice to see another local rebuilding these trucks. i was scanning through your build and noticed your front brake line mounts are on the front of the crossmember just like on my '71. i cant find long enough brake lines to fit mine anywhere, if you dont mind me asking where did you get your rubber caliper lines and how long are they?

thanks,
skeeterbug

Skeeter, I purchased the lines from Southern Ky Classic Trk. I have an extra, I measured it at 13".
On another note,... I lost a dear friend last year from W. town, Roger Poss, RIP. Vehicle accident. If I can help anymore, please let me know!
