Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

I got the c notch kit in the mail but I want to finish up the frontend first before I start on the rear. Still waiting on ECEs call.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

I'm supposed to get something from ECE via UPS today...but am guessing its the boxing plates I ordered that were b/o... along with the spindles.

Yeah its been gone a while now. Thanks.



I went up to Southern Kentucky Classics and bought some parts and ordered my vintage air kit and a grill. I also ordered a 4/6 drop kit from ECE. The guy said the spindles are another week out.

I sold it already. I'm going to put in a stereo. I have one of those polished aluminum bezels that a board member made. it goes around the cd player faceplate.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

I've been ready. I have the arms painted and ball joints in. its holding me up as I want to finish up the front and then move to the rear. I don't like yanking and pulling nuts and bolts while its on jackstands. I got some parts painted in the meantime. I'll post pics later.

Young Frankenstein will be hibernating over the summer while we go to the lake nearly every weekend, I'll probably wait to start a thread until then.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

Looking good. I have to admit...I really like the look of grade8 bolts on a freshly painted black frame. I just went and bought some more for mine the other day!
