My gas gauge used to work, but just filled up and it says about 1/4 tank. Who knows!
I'd go with or drop the rear about 3". Your truck looks like it's got about the same stance as mine. That's what I'm wanting to do to mine too. Drop the rear about 3" for a more level look.
I'd put your cig. lighter in, never know when you may need a 12v hookup for a cell phone charger, ipod, or one of those handy lil air compressors.

You could always rivet in some spare metal for now so you don't have the hole....or even silicone or epoxy it...but that's a pain to clean up...

Hubscrub · 06-26-2011, 09:57 PM

he could patch up that cab if he really wanted to (I've been trying to convince him to fix it)

67chevy1series · 06-26-2011, 10:22 PM

just weld yours up john!!!!!! and plus its a floor it will be covered by somthin.. carpet or rubber floor mat or somthin so dont worry if you do a bad job nobody will see!

oldblue1968chevy · 06-26-2011, 11:17 PM

It aint worth messing with I really dont think. If I put the time and money for pannels in it (then i'll have to pull the glass fix the window etc)

-windshield rotted out (have replacement patch)
-4 floor supports
-Inner/outer rockers
-A pillars (both sides)
-B pillars (both sides)
-Outer floor extension
-Kick pannels
-Random areas on the firewall (when it rains i have a waterfall behind my glovebox)
-Both door bottoms
-Random misc spots
-Cab corners
-Somewere around the cowl on the drivers side too because my e brake gets soaked)

I have all the patches minus the doors

Way to much danged trouble.

slick copper · 06-27-2011, 12:42 AM

Hmmmm.........not sure then does sound like a lot, but can be done.
But in order to fix it you'd have to tear 'er down. It's your daily driver isn't it?

67chevy1series · 06-27-2011, 01:28 AM

well you better stop resting on the bench in your avatar and get to work!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like they got everything from the '40's on UP!!! I'm speculating on most of these.....
hubcaps 1 look like ford van caps
hubcaps 2 I believe are correct dogdishes for our 'era of trucks. AND...are my personal pic for you to get if you go steelies!!

hubcaps 3 next era and later dogdish chevy truck/van caps (don't think they fit our steel wheels)
hubcaps 4 ??most likely car caps?? when and what other than chevy i don't know!

hubcaps 5 I think 60's (before our trucks)
hubcaps 6 Well, those are Rick's!! what r they from Rick?

Hope that gives u and idea. And my vote!!!
