Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
What is the backspacing on the rear wheels? I really like how close the wheel/tire is to the bedside. Really looks clean that way.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
the back wheels are 22x10's with 7 1/2 inches of backspacing, but i am running a billet spacer with a 69 up rearend , i couldnt see spending the BIG BUCKS....that it takes to get these kind of wheels custom made to exactly what i wanted so i made these work with the setup i have , bought them on this board in the for sale section...THANKS VA72c10 once again, I LOVE my wheels

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
did i mention how much i love having my truck at home ..... only had about 1 hour to work on it last night but i started with the used Painless wiring i got from a board member, and stripped all of the tape and loom off it, stripped the wires i didnt need from the engine compartment, and started temporarily routing the wires so i can figure out lengths and routing paths !! It was great if i can get just 1 hour of stuff done a day ...it is MOVING FORWARD !!

The panel could cover the whole vent opening to seal it off too.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
yeterday i stopped by a swap meet the first pic is what i couldnt pass up for $10 buckaroos, mocking up my vintage air so i can figure out where to put my computer brain, and where to run my fuel injection wiring out of the firewall (i am thinking in the middle right behind the distributor), then got the box put back in working on getting everything set so i can start stretching the fleece on it to make all of the contours ! oh brought the painless wiring to work with me today to start cleaning it up and checking all of the wires on it !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
it hasnt really "bent" yet the fleece strecthed around the corner and then fiberglassed is what will make the bend This is a pic of the end of the box then i added a piece of 1/4 inch panel to fill the cab corner hole and stretch the fleece to and that will make the curve

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Nice reliable daily driver of an engine & trans. Same stuff I have going into my 69 K10 project. I have had a few TBI vehicles and they have all done pretty well reliability wise. Good choice to keep things on a realistic budget too.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
my second favorite thing about it is , it still looks like a stock motor !! somewhat original, i have a powdercoated black March serpentine pulley setup ready to install, running the factory style valve covers and breather, cant wait to get some paint on my motor and get it all put together !! i have everything for it just stripped it back down for a better paint job !!
