Good looking truck man. I have an '09 Silverado that is about to get a lift and some new wheels and tires.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I got the Magnaflow dual exhaust for my crew cab and it sounds awesome. I get complements on it all the time. It looks great and took me about 45-60 min to pull the old exhaust off and put the new on. All I used were a couple hand tools, jack, and two jack stands, which aren't even needed but makes it easier to get underneath it. I think this is the part number but if you order it I would first verify it. If I wasn't on the other side of the world for work, I would take a photo of it for you but unfortunately I am.

My buddy has a 2012 Silverado, and I helped him install a Borla. Sounds great.

Thanks Nate, here is the pic of the backyard. It is decent size and the dogs love it. Will be even bigger if the previous owner ever comes to pick up his swing set. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Finally chose an exhaust, went with the Borla S-type and all I have to say is it sounds awesome. Definitely happy with my choice. Has a nice rumble when cruising but screams when you get on it. Was exactly what I was looking for. Bought it from streetsideauto.com and with there 10% off borla coupon code they are running, I got it for less than a $1,000.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looks good. I am close to coming home from this deployment and about to spend a bit of cash on my '09 and my '71. I'm going to do a 3.5" suspension lift and 1.25" body lift, 20" wheels w/ big a$$ tires, fender flares, bumper, and well you know build my redneck 4x4 since I need to fit in here in NC.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
That's a beautiful truck you have there. Suspension and the wheel/tire combo looks perfect.
Thanks Rus Quote:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
The new exhaust looks good.
I went and test drove a '14 and it's got so many features I didn't even know I needed. Haha. It didn't come home with me. Waiting to see that the 3/4 tons look like next year. The new house looks good too. What's next for the new truck?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
So I got some new parts in the mail, this time for my 68 I've been wanting to upgrade the rear brakes to disc for some time now an finally decided to go with the Wilwood D154 with the intergrated parking brake. I know the Wilwood rear doesn't match the McGaughey front kit I have but eventually it will. Someday I plan on upgrading the front to a 6 piston 13" Wilwood kit.
I wanted something with a parking brake and I liked the fact that it uses a 2 piston caliper. I also like that it uses the lokar emergency brake cables and I can ditch the factory stuff. I didn't go with the matching McGaughey rear kit because I don't like the design of it or the fact that I would have had to machine my axles for it to fit. I feel this is something they should have figured out by now. Plus like I said I do plan on upgrading the front to Wilwoods in the future. I plan to finally get working on her again this weekend as I have a lot to do before I can move it from my brothers garage to mine.
