Re: 67 SWB 4x4

Thanks for the exhaust input.

I will research that and see what I find.
It all fit before so why change it.
This motor was in a 67 C20, so that makes sense.

We sandblasted the frame, all the motor mounts, transmission mounts, transfer case torq mount, bell housing covers, rally rims, and all the transfer case and transmission housings and covers.

Frame needed a little work, few rock dents and such.
Front horns were badly mangled from a snow plow or something. We cut them off and grafted another clean set on.

The frame is DP90 with a semigloss black alkyd enamel finish.
It looks good, is hard, and easy to touch up.

I am having the trans and transfer case rebuilt at 249 Drive train in Houston, and when he finishes we will touch them up them paint them.

As of now, I will go back with all rubber transmission, torq bracket, and motor mounts. All suspension will be poly. I prefer rubber, but poly is supplied with the new EZ Ride springs and shocks. Hope the ride does not suffer. All poly joints will have zerk fitting bolts.

We are keeping the 4" lift. I will post the old 4" lift springs and blocks for sale soon.

So once the axles are back from being straightened, at 249, things will start moving!
