I got the accuair sensors on all four corners. The accuair kit is very nice. Just the packaging lets you know its quality. I cannot wait to get it working!!

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Great build! You are building after my style, meant to be driven hard. This is what I built my truck for, I still have a long ways to go yet, things to be changed and adjusted but it will get there. You widened your rims just like I want to widen mine, everything is coming along nicely. You are goin to have one he'll of a ride when you are done. I am defiantly gonna watch this build.

Nuke1,

Thanks! As soon as I’m finished I will post a video of a fat burn out.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Awesome build you have going Dillon! I finally got through the whole thing. You have some super fab and metal skills. Too bad you already cut your cab, I would have made you a great deal or swapped you for my shaved cab HERE. I just cut a crap load of rust our of my "new" cab to get one with a drip rail. Go figure.
I'm subscribing to this one for sure.

mcbassin,

Why the change of mined to keep the drip rail? I have been watching your build 1969 Short Wide.

Dillon, I bought the shaved cab to replace my badly rusted original cab. It started out as a simple daily driver on a tight budget. Well I've always liked the double mouldings on the wide/fleet side. The shaved cab doesn't really go with that theme. My truck will look exactly like it would have in 69 with modern drivetrain, exhaust, and wheels.
