adjusted the pb panhard bar and threw a quick crappy paint job on my glove box door will redo it better later. and took a couple of pics of the clearance of the pb bar and brackets just perfect lol. and also took a pic of the part of the rear brake line that i can see from underneath.

Removed the trailing arms off of my rear axle, luckily no issues.

glider_6969 · 02-08-2011, 10:42 PM

Tonight I installed my new overflow bottle that I picked up at an Auto zone for about $10 bucks with the bracket,for the radiator. I was debating on were to mount it. I think I found a good spot. I made a bracket that wraps around the battery and bolted it to the rad support, then mount the bottle bracket to it.

started making my buddy bucket seat adjuster lever since when i bought my seat it was broken! so any one who wants to make on you will need :
one 8'' or however long or short you want it rod 1/2 inch thick round stock rod

and a grinder with a 80 grit sander to make it nice and smooth after you grind it down

and a torch to bend it how ever you want and some bolts i am thinking a 3/8th or 5/16 th bolts and nuts

*project 67 sub* · 02-09-2011, 02:33 AM

not a whole lot but i repainted my gauge bezels and started installing them in the cluster. now i need to buy the rest of the gauges so i can finish it, and also make/cut out a piece so i can install my gas gauge and turn signal lights in the cluster.

I tracked down a ground issue and got it to start!

RickBost · 02-10-2011, 12:00 AM

I got the truck to run under its own power for the first time since i onwed it and now the tranny is bad. I am still trying to figure out if a t-10 will bolt to and use the clutch from the m-20?

mcmlxix · 02-10-2011, 01:14 AM

I picked up a set of Hummer H2 chrome rims and tires for $200...

*project 67 sub* · 02-10-2011, 01:50 AM

ItsRandy · 02-10-2011, 02:04 AM

I picked up a small soda blaster to finish cleaning my frame, it works real good and my fingers won't be sore anymore.

What did you go with and how well does it work?

67Slider · 02-10-2011, 07:22 PM

I took the day off from my real job and installed 3 inch drop coils up front, shock relocation kit in the back, double adjustable panhard bar, new shocks(front and back) and 5 inch drop coils in the back. Also checked and filled my rear diff. Took about 5 hours but was well worth it. I love the new stance. I will post up some pics this weekend.

ItsRandy · 02-11-2011, 01:02 AM

Found (bought) a right AND a left big block motor mount stands today. I got one (the left) from a Chevy dealer in Costa Mesa, California for $108.00 and the right from a Chevy dealer in North Carolina for $60.00. I feel blessed.

I took her out and picked up a fridge.
This was her first haul since I dropped the rear. She did fine!

Harbor Freight, it holds 40lbs of baking soda and it works great. I used it for about an hour and got as much done as I did the previous 8 hours. There are places I was able to get clean (paint and grime free), like around rivet heads and where brackets are attached to the frame, that I wouldn't have been able to get to with sand paper. WEAR A RESPIRATOR IT IS VERY DUSTY!

Tried to install my new turn signal switch but it was messed up from the manufacturer. Hopefully I can fix it myself and get it in tomorrow.
