I don't know Bobby...I don't actually live out there. We decided to switch to the fleet because of some renderings and pictures that we really like.

Wow.... that thing is looking killer!

I love the filler plates for the air ducts, and am curious about the headlights.

The headlights are Texon Lighting dual-function (high/low) HID bulbs in Sirius glass capsules.

Those look awesome, did you get the 7" round capsules from CCT or where? Also, do you have a picture of the lights on? I'd just love to see a 67-72 with HID's lol

msgross · 06-27-2008, 05:10 PM

Yes; I hope this is what you meant:

**Hart_Rod** · 06-27-2008, 09:14 PM

Hey Jon, the trucks looking good. Quick question, are you missing a washer on the shock? Not sure if I'm seeing it correctly, but looks like there should be a big flat washer on the outside of your shock. Anyways, keep the pics coming.

Rob- I probably am....there's a small washer between the nut and bushing....that's all that came with the KYBs

What should it look like?

I would put one one big enough to cover the rubber bushing. Something like a fender washer should work. Here's a picture.

Maybe they're not needed, but I believe in OVERKILL on suspension and brake stuff,

I just got the same KYB shock setup from ECE, and all it came with was the lock washers, so that's all I used. Those shocks have a larger sleeve? than the KYB gas-adjusts that were on my truck before, so maybe that's why they don't use a flat washer? I plan on keeping an eye on everything for a bit after I get it all put back together though. I can just see my front suspension falling off after I hit the switches on the bag setup

msgross · 06-28-2008, 07:29 AM

that's it...thanks, I wanted to compare that to mine... looks good too...

jaros44sr · 06-28-2008, 07:32 AM
