Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
is that a 4.11 rear end that comes stock in the 68 with the inline 6? How difficult/expensive is it to change the gearing for a v8 ls motor?
Thanks for your input |

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
you need to find someone that can set it up for you if you have not done one, clearances are very important if not set propley you will burn out the rear end

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
I def wouldnt do it myself....I would take it to a speciality shop for sure to upgrade the gearing or just swap in a different rear end. I read about people putting in s10 rear ends and camaro rear ends.

She's still at a friend's garage and working on it every chance we get. Added a new Accel dizzy, new plugs, (need wires) rebuilt the carb, added an electronic choke, adjusted valves, brought the compression up to 110lbs from 60. Trying to get the new fuel gauge operational, gotta swap a new heater core tomorrow, get a new fuel pump, get the gauge cluster (bezel) back in and steering wheel on, get the Custom/10 badges on before we toss the inner fender wells back in place, toss on a set of 68/69 camaro mirrors,..(yep, I took the others back and exchanged them as per your and dg's advice, melt the orange and black paint off the grille tomorrow with "Air Craft Remover"(?) so it will be ready for the bumper dg is sending, ..oh, and get a functional horn..lol. Just chipping away at the stone and making a little, but steady progress.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
I really wish we would hear something from him. I'm seriously getting a little worried now. He seems like a very cool guy that really deserves to have that truck delivered to him safely.
I'm hoping at this point that it did arrive, everything worked out fine with shipping, the truck is everything he hoped it would be and he's just too busy spending time with it to jump on here to drop an update. sighh...really wish he would jump on here and drop an update though

Dont really use backspacing very much I go to my wheel guy and we measure for offset. They sent 0 offsets for both and turned out great! Biggest issue is if you want a deeper dish to the rear, ya gotta go with a 10 inch or try to get a much thinner in the front. |
