Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Since I have bags on the truck and no alignment yet, will that still affect it?

I would install the bar with it aired up to be in the middle of your ride height range so the end of the sway bar has room to slide for both going up and down in ride height without it pulling out of the bushing.

Poly takes a special grease but rubber you can use a silicone spray or even WD40 to get them assembled. I've never tried baby powder.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Truck looks nice!! Something a little different nice LWB. I live over on the eastside of town in the Baytown area. I have several friends that live out in the Tomball/Cypress area. I'm going to check out one of those niffty fiffty shows soon. I have a SWB GMC 70 model and plan on running the same basic suspension setup as you. My question is did you have to do any kind of modifications to your inner fender wells front or back? The fronts look untouched.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
That's a sweet truck! I would research it here on the board in the suspension area first then make a well educated decision. A long bed is gonna be a little different from the short of course. I have yet to decide on what to do with mine, but I don't wanna run the panhard bar for sure.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
my panhard bar is run from the driver side frame to passenger side trailing arm, its a lot less movement than the stock ones. the longer the bar, the less movement you have.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I will have to check into mounting mine on the trailing arm then. My panhard bar is adjustable so maybe I can make it extend far enough or put another end on it to adjust it futher. Thanks Kev!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
np! the one i bought was extendable too but cpp makes 3 sizes i think, and i got the shortest one lol. i just cut it in half, welded a 1" thick bar in between in the length that i needed. works fine!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Talked with the engine shop today..........he actually did something. He sprayed the engine with brake cleaner where the crack is supposed to be and could not get anything to come through. He said the timing chain cover is coming off tomorrow so he can better see the suspect area and then weld as needed. I asked when I could get it and he said the end of this week or sometime next week. Yep, I can live with that.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
awesome to hear Slick. hope he comes through with it. although I think he could have done more work then just sprayed it with cleaner and looked at it in one day. IMO any how.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
Hope he makes sure to get all the brake cleaner out of the crack before welding on it. Makes some nasty stuff if theres any left and it gets heated. I think its like Phosgene gas. Used during the 1st war to gas the troops. Good luck on the engine. The trucks awesome.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
I hate to bring it out without the bed and the interior done, but it might just happen before the end of the Niftee 50ees 2011 season.
