Re: SoCal checkin' in
I do like the stance
ram horns off a pick n pull or someone getting rid of some will be the least expensive, but if you go shortys try speedways tru rams a lot of guys with our set ups are really digging these. By the way good job VDog Posted via Mobile Device |

Thanks gentlemen. Of course its not with out issues, I have to change the lower ball joint on the driverside because the boot got damaged. Unless someone knows where to buy just the boot, its going to be changed. I have two sets of ram horn, one is powder coated the other is rusted. Like headers but for now I might just install the horns. Which ever I get, they need to be spark plug friendly. LOL |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Vince, I use Energy Suspension Ball Joint Dust Boots 9-13126G. About $10 bucks and the kit does both lower and upper. Part number for the tie rod boot is 9-13119G. Any auto parts store can order them for you. I get them from Summit Racing. Lee

Thanks Lee. I found tie rod boots at OReilly auto parts, but no luck on the ball joint. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Think im going to get my collector cut off today and run straight pipe for now that way I can still drive it until I figure out which way to go. Or I need to change up to 18's or 20inch rims and that will solve my problem. Too many decisions.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Hopped up. What axle do you have? If you have the Eaton 3/4T I may be able to help you out.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
New to the boards checking in from SD. 69 SWB Stepper. It was falling prey to a couple orange trees and avacado trees for quite awhile, so she's a rescue! It's in pieces in the garage but my ECE 4/6 drop and all new steering linkage will be here this week. rocking the Straight 6 because its awesome, and I don't want to hit the pump on a daily basis. Hooker long true dual headers, holley 390, offenhauser alum. intake. Taking the engine to TJ for a full rebuild...flat top pistons and mild cam and all new internals. Any guidance as far as what rebuild kit to get??? Planning on the CPP BIG Brake kit as well, any reason why I shouldn't? Oh, and I'm going to rock the patina look for a bit too. Thanks for reading,
Jay |

Welcome to the board and to the SoCal page. Now let me ask what size wheels are you going to run? I think that kit starts at 15 inch or bigger. Someone else can chime in on this if im wrong. When you get a chance, post some pics up of your truck. Also there are a lot of us here thats in the same boat so hit us up. You never know someone my have what you need. We have a few members in your area so if you search this post, you might find a neighbor. |

WELCOME Jay !
![]() The I-6 is dead simple to overhaul your own self and you'll prolly do a better job than any Garage because you care . Make sure whomever does your cylinder head rebuilding , replaces ALL the valve guides with bronze ones , the entire head including new guides and stellite valve seats should be under $300 . A properly built 250 will easily chirp the tires so be wary of " racing " cams as they tend to make it very sluggish off a dead stop . These sturdy engines are fairly long stroke so they don't like to be revved a lot like the V-8's do . Either way , be sure to punch out all the old block freeze plugs and replace them with brass ones , only a few $ more but the brass ones will never rust out .

Im trying to do it right and set up small gols for myself and right now its suspension while the engine is sent off. Im a mech myself but I live in base housing where Im not really even supposed to have this project, or otherwise I would do the rebuild myself. Currently there are no aspirations to clean up the body, really trying to piece together the suspension, brakes, engine components, and at least get it rolling. If your my neighbor rodger up and come check out my build so far! Jay |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Not exactly SoCal but crossposting from another California forum I'm on. Guy selling his 1970 to help out his wife. Looks like a good cause and a clean looking truck.
