Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
This is what I did to get around the problem of the Pypes 2.5" kit not going through the crossmember. It is a builders kit from Summit, and it was about half the price of the kit that as "designed" for the truck. Not raggin' on the kit at all, it just didn't work with a lowered truck.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I made it. It looks good but needs more structure added to it. It kinda lets the tail of the transmission bounce too much. I plan on getting it fixed soon.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Good idea to snow bird ,we do it now and then. Last year it was rather mild up here, so no need to head south! When do you plan to retire and enjoy the profit from your labors?
Talk to you soon, we are'nt spring chickens any more... keep up the nice work on your truck

Man! Long term relationships have their rewards! SO NICE! Good luck on getting it running and definetly GIVE THAT MAN A RIDE ![]() Lets just think about this for a minute.... He was 22 when he bought it new, drove it for 19 years and tucked it in his garage for the next 45 YEARS. This deserves a story written up in Hemmings or some sort of news paper. Just amazing.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
thanks for the congrats Jesse, just spent a week down at OC, NJ with the family. What confusion!!!
Neat garage find, but you knew it was there, so not so much of a find, but still cool. that was our family car back in the day, only a '56
