Re: 1967 step side build!
Thanks all for the kind words! Good heads up midnight about the brake shoes I guess I missed that. I do have all SS brake lines but will watch my routing.
As far as the frame goes when I did all my rear end work I painted the frame. Then I ordered cab bushings and the new paint next to the old rusty frame was killing me. I could of taped things off and painted around them but that's half a$$. I plan on going with a sbc and 700-r4 with power steering so I would constantly be taping and painting. And for the $420 they will bake, sandblast, and coat frame. I'll have almost that much in time and materials if I painted it myself.
Bugz I stripped the rear frame totally apart to put bushings in.
I've got to temporarily mount a arms and rotor today so I can measure for my wheels. Going to run a 20"x8.5" riddler wheel with 4.5" BS. Anybody know what size tire to go with? I was looking at 245/45/20 or 245/40/20. I've seen on here we're some run a 255. I'm going to drive this truck regularly so I don't want a tire rub issue.
