Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I found that summit sells the same spindles for 230 instead of 240 and that cpp on eBay sells the c notch kit for 105 instead of 120 so there's already 25 bucks I can put towards shipping I guess. Having a hard time finding the front lowered sway bar brackets, upper front shock support brackets and the deluxe trac bar I haven't found those yet still searching to see if there sold cheaper or not... And I've been keeping progress on the 67 even though I'm waiting for/to get the cpp parts.... I absolutely could not take it anymore, the red on the middle of the dash was just nasty! I guess Orr lac hot rod flat black primer and gloss red rustoleum paint DO NOT get along.... So I finally fixed my old mistake.... I've got some pretty good hours in sanding it most of those corners and crevices are a pain in the ass but nonetheless I sanded it down and it came out well! Tomorrow I'll throw the dash back together and then go for a drive since I haven't driven it in a day or two. ALSO I found a (at least I think so) better orange for the needles on the gauges so I repaint end the needles. Anyways here's pictures

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Just ordered my drop spindles and a couple other parts! When they come in I'm going to get new rotors and bearings for the front so there all new and those are the last of the brake parts on my truck that are original/older so I'll be waiting them to install!

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Didn't do much to the 67 today except for drive it and take some pictures with the 68 4wd I have. BUT can't get mad that I sacrificed work on the c10, since I worked on the k10 instead

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Well I finally scraped off the house paint from under the hood, I only scraped off the paint from the 2 braces the go up and down I still need to do the inner structures up at the front and at the rear though, but either way it looks much better!

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Parts came in! Got my rear disc brake tab kit, shock support brackets and my drop spindles! I'm waiting on new bearings and rotors before I install the spindles... :/ so I decided I'll just install the shock brackets and the rear brake hose tab kit. So I looked over the parts and everything was there for the shock brackets and spindles but the rear brake tab kit didn't come with the clips... So I called cpp and they were busy, but they took my name and number to call me back about it, they've always done me right before so I'm not to worried. So instead I just installed the shock brackets.. Went very smooth! And it feels and looks pretty nice id say. So I'll post some pics here in a bit

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
well i started to install the hose clamp kit i figured im not going to drive the truck within the next week so if i get the little brackets on the lines already then its no big deal, and then when the clips come in the mail ill just put the clips on and be done. well now im having a pretty hard time bleeding the rear brakes! i was under the truck for about 50 minutes to an hour and a couple times there werent any bubbles but i always wait til it doesnt have any bubbles for three more "bleeds" just to be sure.. well the third bleed after no bubbles it starts poor'n bubbles out again and it did that the hole time. i always made sure there was fluid in the master cylinder as to not make anymore air go in the lines and i put the master cylinder cap back on (could that be the problem?) and then went back to bleeding i did the RR then LR and then back and forth etc.. the only lines i undid where the hard line to hose on both rear calipers... so any help on this or advice or tricks wold be gladly appreciated!

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I always use an old jar and vacuum line to bleed brakes. Put a little fluid in the jar, hook the vacuum line on the bleeder put the other end of vac tube in the fluid in the jar. Open the bleeder and pump the pedal. Make sure the vac line stays covered with fluid

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Ok well now that makes me feel bad... That's exactly what I did! And it's worked in the past... Just not now. I've also done some gravity bleeding.. Got a lot of air out but that's the thing there absolutely cannot be that much air in them lines so I figured the only thing I did was disconnect those two lines so I figure the problem is in there. So I just cut the flare off of the drivers side lenses and re-flared it about to do the passenger side now. I'm gonna pull an all nighter and get it done.
