Re: 1967 swb frame off build
I just looked at the close up of your gauges again. Im going to have to buy a set of these. I have a couple of extra bezels laying around, hopefully one of them is like yours. Man I have to stop looking at threads like yours lol.

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
They're a little pricey but I love the look of them too. Just trying to keep it a little different

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Very nice build! I love the look of the steel wheels and caps, especially the fatties on the back. Which "level" RideTech kit did you use?

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Took my truck on its first long cruise since the build. Went on a 60 mile drive and it went off without a hitch. I took it to my buddy's shop who tunes ls cars so he could adjust my fan settings. I also made an appointment to get on his dyno in about 2-3 weeks.

Got the truck pretty much complete. Took it to its first car show today and won first place in my class.

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Your dash pad appears to be a sandlewood color. Did you tint it yourself? It looks great!

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Darn computer color rendering! lol. It's good to know though. If I were to tint a dash pad, that grey would make a good base color to start with.

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Truck is awesome great attention to detail. Question for you on the brake lines. Do you have 1 3/16 line coming off porportion valve for front disc then splitting to 2 3/16 lines to each front wheel with 1 1/4 line going to rear?

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
That's exactly how I'm running the fronts. I ran my line before I bought my master and didn't realize It had two ports for the front. The rear line is also 3/16 line.

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
I'm curious, how do you like the fuel injected LS with the TH-350 and what rear gear do you have? Also, who built your wheels?

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
I'm not really a fan of the Th-350 with my 3:73 gears. This winter I'll be installing a 4l60. On the highway running about 65 mph I'm at 3100 rpm. The wheels were bought off of a member on this site. Not sure who built them.

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
I understand that, how did you connect the kick-down for the transmission?

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
Will the swap to a 4L60 require a new harness or are you going to use a stand alone controller?
