Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
haha thanks bro. still a whole lot more work ahead of myself. my skills are not that great especially in the welding department, thats why i did not weld the notch my self but did help with the install of it lol. the a arms on the other hand i am doing myself , the welds are not perfect as i am using an arc welder and also not the greatest welder, but they should hold as it is welded inside and out, front and back top and bottom lol..

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
I need to find some A arms to rebuild and notch the bottom out like that for my coil springs! Lookin' good man, lookin good. Hey as long as your welds hold, I guess thats all that matter!
Were ya able to score the disc brake front crossmember?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
no pics but i picked up another set of bags and some fittings to run them shraders, some 2600 doms. will be installing those in the back and removing the dual 3/4 port 4 ply 2600 contis and putting them in the front. also picked up a few more tools to use when working on the truck.
edit: on that dash i will be cutting the center section out and plating it so its smooth then i will cut a new hole in it lower down for the in dash i plan to run. might add a few other things to as well just not sure what yet. Last edited by project 67 sub; 01-12-2011 at 12:23 AM. |

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
nice..
make sure you get the longest one they sell.i got the short one by mistake. instead of sending it back, i sectioned the metal and welded a solid rod in the middle to make it reach...sure hope my welds hold lol

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thanks, and i'm pretty stoked to have my first piece from the porterbuilt line coming and will hopfully be buying more from him down the road. the one that i ordered from him is the same one that comes in his stage 2 drop kit, it mounts just like the cpp double adjustable track bar.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
nice! i could have sent ya the t's i used when i ran temporary schraders...they are 1/2" t's with the schrader in the middle.
also, what shock ya plan on goin with? i bought some 50's chrysler shocks and they bolt right up...just installed them last night. i havent put the wheels back on yet to check fully inflated and fully deflated to see if they bottom out, but they sure are a cheap alternative.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
oh, well since you have the relocation kits im pretty sure your stock shocks should work. the ones i bought are Monroe pn#5752, got them at O'reilly for $22.99 each. heres a pic..
![]() the only thing i had to do was trim the bushing a little to make it fit in between the mount..but i believe my mounts are after market (the nut for the bolt would hit the arm next to the mount as it got tighter) ill snap a pic tomorrow when i get off work
