Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

I'd rock one. I had an xb as a company vehicle...put a bunch of miles on it with no issues and good mpg, great head and legroom for me. Would be cool to have one that looked like our trucks!

wondering how fast they'll burn out. I love the light output of silverstars but they lasted just under a year in my wife's van with very limited nighttime driving....

I run theses in everything I can that is a street car.

Great light level at a reasonable price and they last a decent amount of time. The color is whiter than the typical H4 ones marketed here.

For off road vehicles I like these

Amazon.com: HELLA HLA-H83140141 H4 12V 100/55W... Amazon.com: HELLA HLA-H83140141 H4 12V 100/55W...

Street legal low beam but brutal high beam that I swear will melt the chrome off the front bumper.

That is funny. The link in my response doesn't work but the one in yours quoting mine does.

Mine are supposed to have stock bulbs in them; we'll see when they arrive.

Adding to the confusion: Here's a plug and play harness, if you don't wanna cut your stock wiring:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

been having a little fun the last couple days, inspired by ATVPRO on his work station, i am building a welding station for my new welder, $60 bucks in tubing and a bottom of an old tool box and this is what i am coming up with ! i wanted a couple drawers to put , welding clamps/ wire/ misc and a little section of work bench, so anyway here is my start to my welding station. I have alot more work to go but at this point i only have about 4 hours in it

I also had time to mess with a couple other little projects, mount for my valve block and breathers for my valve covers (i am thinking about shortening the breather , so they dont stick up so high)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Nice work on the cart. That should be super convenient...probably can keep about 90% of the tools you need in there since nearly everything bolted on our trucks uses 1/2", 9/16, or screws...add a hammer, pry bar, and some duct tape and you're set

Good spot for the accuair valve block. Should be a clean looking setup.

Not sure on options on the breathers...
