Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Bare with me I'm not familiar with reposting and if this is the correct way. I only remotely hooked up the LED's to see how they looked. I haven't started the truck yet but getting close but did notice the headlight bulb was loose and could cause a problem down the road.

Worked on Running boards and lower rear fender. Getting better, glad I went all steel for the rear fenders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I might do alittle more grinding, the radius on my end caps don't match the radius of the 1/4 wall tube.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started the headache rack today, I went with a rounded look by making 8 bandsaw cuts about a 1/4" apart to bend the tube, then welded the cuts and ground them out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did nothing today on my truck. But as I was cruising through Austin, Nevada, saw a very nice 68 C30 Dumptruck sitting along the freeway for sale. Thought about turning around and checking it out. But, I had 6 hours to go in order to get home and already short on time. Next time, I'll stop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today I finished off my power disc brake install. It started out ok. The booster and the master cylinder went on and fit like it should. The day took a nose dive from there. The brake line kit I got with the power brake conversion didn't fit at all. I was only able to use one freaking line and had to bend it in to a completely different shape to make it work. Bleed the brakes and then moved to the rear. I was to install 2 inch lowering blocks and they came with new u bolts. Well the idiots at performance online have no idea what they are doing. The u bolts were too short. Who sends 2 inch block with u bolts only 1.5 inches longer then the factory bolts. Then I drove all over trying to find bolts that would work. I was not able to find any. So I went back home and put the short u bolts in and then moved on to the track bar. I removed the old one and measured it. 27 1/8 long. Started to extend the new once again performace online brand track arm. The end falls right out the end and is about 2 inches short still. So then I installed the factory arm and parked the truck again. I am not sure if this is how performance online treats all there customers but every order I have got has been messed up or took for ever. Here is a picture of the truck at its final stance. We may lower the rear one more inch later on but this will due for now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed the disks, calipers and wheels to check the fit after doing the drop spindles..... wheels are too close to the area the tie rod goes into.... So much for running these wheels and tire while I save up for for the new ones. I was hoping to buy the new ones last after the rest of the truck was done.
(I left the cotter pins and grease nipples out until I knew everything would work, that's why you don't see any in the pic)

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Wasn't today but I figured that I would post anyways. I installed a seat from a late 60's international into the truck. The original frame would not work so I made one. See thread here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=658511 I also fixed a whole lot of wiring issues in the truck. I just want to says one thing to everyone out there. Please make sure you are careful when you are wiring things up especially when it is not like the factory design. I found a lot of things that just scared me today. The scariest was a wire straight to the battery that ran up under the dash to a standalone switch w/ no fuse to power the starter solenoid. ![]() Stay safe and happy wrenching.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I went with CPP 2-1/2 inch spindles and 3 " springs..CPP CP4S2 These are the new style that allow me to keep my 67 steering linkage and still use the 71-72 disk brakes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I've never used them but some guys use spacers to gain that "just enough" clearance in cases like this. A 1/4" or so might be enough. Cheaper than a set of new wheels and work in the interim until such time as you are ready to buy new ones. Those look like 7" chrome rims so the back space shouldn't be more than 3 1/2".
