Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Got my Moser 5 lug conversion axles in today. Now I have everything to convert my axle to 5 lug and get my coys mounted and balanced and bolted on this weekend. I can't wait:metal:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Got my rear axles swapped out and my coys mounted. They are 20x10, 5.5" bs with Yokohama Advan ST 295/40/20.

NICE....looks great !

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

My exhaust is finally all welded up including my h-pipe. Looks awesome.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Nice job on the truck, that 72 you sold looks great also!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you! Found out from the guy I sold my 72 to that its is going to be featured in Truckin magazine. Don't know when yet.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you, it's starting to come together finally.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

that does look awesome!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Exhaust looks good- I can appreciate the amount of effort it takes- nice work :chevy:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you that means alot, the exhaust did take alot of effort to keep it tucked up inside the frame the whole way including the h-pipe.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Well I finished putting my rear brakes back together and filled my diff with fluid. What a pita it was getting the fill plug out, somebody put a cast plug in for the original, it wouldn't budge so it broke into several different pieces. Had to heat it with a torch to get it out. Luckily my brother had an original one sitting around in his pile of nuts and bolts lol. Then I finished routing the pipes on my side exhaust where they exit in front of the tires and grinded down all the welds.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Well i finally finished painting my exhaust with the POR-20 Silver high heat exhaust paint. It looks awesome and almost matches my ceramic coated headers. I just hope it works the way they say it does and doesnt burn off.

A couple more pics

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

It's been a long month so far and I haven't been able to work on my truck much at all. I'm hoping that next month is better.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

What brand mufflers are those? I've scanned back through the build but can't find it. Nice work looking good.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks they are Spintech Super Pro Streets. I got them from Maryland Speed for $150.00 for the pair, 2.5" inlet/outlet.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Purdy! :cool:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

The exhaust looks nice! kinda curious about how well the por20 will hold up, i used their por15 on a frame but havent tried the exhaust paint yet. I used some rattle can high heat ceramic on the new exhaust on my 93 but the welds still rusted in a few short months.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Looks like a great project! I will follow along too. You are really knocking this build out.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thank you i appreciate it, I'm also wondering how it will hold up too, my dad used regular rattle can high heat on his exhaust and it flaked off within a year. I am hoping the por-20 lasts a little longer considering it was like $30 a pint.
