Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I have been strongly debating getting a set of those bearclaws. How hard were they to install and get everything lined up? Did they come with that panel insert or did you make that? Looks really good.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
I used there installation kit-but added material to reach down to outer panel crimp(look at pics of cutout^^^^) Actually was pretty staightforward but your own your own-they are universal--have not installed striker yet-will post when I do-waiting to get 1 piece window kits-to see if I will have a rubbing problem on back edge of glass against the claw body--in their video U only have 3/4" of clearance from door end to glass edge-just want to make sure before going farther that I don't have to alter claw mounting-Yes I'm anal about fit and finish!!...lol....found out a long time ago about "take time for the details--pays off in the end"............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
That dash looks awesome! That's also awesome that the air unit is totally invisible! Great work!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Thanx--the dash is 2 1/2 " lower than stock which I wanted--but kicking the V.A. up tight in the toe kick was the trick-As low as this truck will be U will virtually never see air box-------------jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Ok guys and gals,A little progress here---Christmas in January!! Got my Mod 5 wheels in ..........unbelievable polish......setup bed to get actual dimensions for narrowing rear....these pics are where truck would be aired out......also almost done with Nates x-member upgrade......I know its an upside down shot but i love how slick the dimensions of these frames are after the pieces from Nate totally change it!! More later when finished (I know Nate when U see this U will say "He changed the bar arrangement!!" Yes I did "tweak it" but I think U will like the finished product)..Haven't installed trans crossmember yet..............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Sweet.
What's the specs on the wheels and tires? Lots of dish,... so the backspacing must be pretty low.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Wheels look great.....
I had to go back and read the thread again because I noticed a tube configuration change in Nates X member. It looked braced differently than mine. Nice work! Did you determine that you cannot use 55-59 truck dashes for that awesome look?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Yeah that upper bar (or lower one in previous pic since its upside down!!) normally turns down into bottom bar-Just thought it was slicker extended and turned in...still can run 3 " exhaust..Waiting on delrin bushings for trans cross mount then will set motor in......may be picking your brain for ls engine questions as they come up......Chose belair dash because of all the choices in gauges...billet trim...etc..Almost as many parts being repoped for those cars as these trucks!!! Another pic with frame right side up this evening .....Frame has NO twist now..............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Thanks for the info.....Turned out really nice.
My kit came with poly trans mount bushings. Is the Delrin the new standard bushing?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Ok guys----little update during halftime!! got 6.0 liter and 4l80 mounted in chassis...I'm a little concerned about height of tailshaft and drive shaft angle to carrier bearing....but got a call into Nate with pics to get his opinion...the engine has 3-4* drop in pics with frame level--really don't see why I can't run this oil pan also..has 1 1/2 " clearance about frame rail--Only about 1" lower than dropmember..........Cab comes back tomorrow and I will see how it all fits late this week............back to the game.........Madonna (ugh!) I guess for 53 she's not bad..............jim
