Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

There are a few Facebook pages. Boulder City Cruising association, Hellkat shows, the LV car show one is not working or taking down. But look up Cars and Coffee on Eastern and 215 on Saturday mornings, Tuckers Classic Truck has one Saturday morning and they have flyers. I am going to there show this Saturday in Boulder. The end of the month is Super Run and Wurst Dam Show.
Las Vegas Cruisin Association, Las Vegas Car Clubs are key Google search. Plus lots of time you will get flyers at meets. Carlos over at DC Sound knows lots of people and Severed Ties member keeps me informed and does my stereo stuff.

Why pay $65 to show when you can park 5ft away for free?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

After measurement 11 inch at rear most frame. Limited by shocks and axle to wood might make for additional amount. At least more room in notch and tubs.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

So just got back from NM. Yes I did stop and stand on a corner in Winslow, AZ. This is my Cummins reading for the week, the 500 mile trip home average was 25 mpg this is for those who doubt 20 to 30 mpg. Speed was 25-60 for 30 mile to job. This was for two weeks above 30. In 27 to 70 degree days 5 to 6000 feet.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

New 225/70/15 replace 13+ year old 235/60. Closer to 245/45/18 that will be installed with front crossmember install. The 67-72 rear bumper install took longer than planned. Got to use new helmet, nice having auto dim vs iron man. Welder working great, did 3 pass weld just in case. Looks like one piece ground down.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

Not in yet, only $1200. Anything is better than drums. Few more parts and I will be ready for crossmember install.

Just front. Did 5 lug axle and drums out back. My mechanical buddies said stick with drums. Seems a lot of rear disks having issues.

Final count down. Some before measurements. Low is judged by stock '97 on 31s. PB says ride height is best at 5" at cab mount...-4". Bumper is 1/4" lower.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build

From my understanding they are based on Cadillac and had hardware issues and not adjusting probably. This guy build trucks has friends that builds trucks and now working at Cadillac dealer. I trust them when it comes to this. I had him check my work to make sure my old school methods still right.
