[oldblue1968chevy]

pics didnt work for me,,it may be me though, the 2nd one did..looks good man i wanna see the other pics thought

[threeonthetree]

awh man... get on a different computer
here are a 2 more.
i currently am working on my crf.. blew a head gasket had to strip the thing down. my dads 75 in the back ground.



and one more of the truck

[292farmer]

have u rebuilt your carb yet? my 350 had a sticky float, and would drip fuel into the intake, and when the truck was hot enough the fuel would burn, after i shut it off. try putting marvel mystery oil in, ive had good luck with it, or run some injector/carb cleaner in gas, might clean out any carbon creating heat spots.

[oldblue1968chevy]

I only see the dirtbike but its all good!

[threeonthetree]

got to do some work.
oh and the reason the truck was desiling, my idle was set to high.
turned her down and shes running good now.
was driving it around till i found out that you need insurance in wisconsin now. its the law, so i haven't cruised around lately. truck goes down the road really pretty straight even with the cut springs, and no alignment done to it. 3 on the tree is a pain in the ass sometimes when she locks up,, thinking about getting a stick on the floor.

ive really been thinking about getting a 73 and up front end and swapping them out, and then getting drop spindles but idk how much work that would requie.

or just going with drop spindles, on this set up the fronts up a little high for my taste. but i dont have disk brakes and dont really have the money for a kit right now.

still got to finish up the bed and weld some metal in and screw it alll down but ive been kinda lazy lately since i cant really drive it or anything.

But summer is here and i should be enjoying the weather anyways.

[oldblue1968chevy]

get some conversion drop spindles and then get a 71 and up frontend and use those parts..you'll need a diff. mc prop valve best swap ever i will help you thru if if you need it! duhh you need insurance to drive lol

[threeonthetree]

well you it wasn't against the law in the state of Wisconsin till like the beginning of this month.

yeah i was thinking about doing that. I'm more in it cause of the drop not so much the disc brakes. but it would be a plus. idk if i can find a 71 and up front end in my area.

[threeonthetree]

so whats the valve for and where do you buy it.
im gonna head over to the junk yard and see if they have a 71 and up truck with discs there right now.

[threeonthetree]

junkyard doesn't have any front end set ups

[oldblue1968chevy]

I think you could use 73 and up rotors calipers etc...

Are you wantin to rebuild your front suspension (tierod ends bjs' etc)...

If no Just get conversion drop spindles (will bolt right up) then get bearings seals and a rotors/calipers pads, then a mc and prop. valve

id try to find some of this stuff used..good luck! I just had a whole frontend from a 77 you coulda had free if you were closer shipping is nuts on that heavy stuff

check out early classic enterprizes ive seen the drop spindles in there catalogs.

[threeonthetree]

okay well i found a truck
its a heavy half ton.. will half ton spindles still work on these brakes
i like it cause its 6 lug

and where thinking about putting the 454 in the bel air of mine.

[oldblue1968chevy]

never knew such a thing, I guess it would work..?

[threeonthetree]

Yeah the bel air does need it.
where gonna go and look at the truck tomorrow
hopefully we end up with it.

yeah the guy said its six lug, and its a heavy half ton, idk if that means its a 3/4 ton or what will find out tomorrow i guess.

i used the blitz black.
john deere paint right from the john deere dealer
sprayed easy is holding up pretty well. i sprayed it with a standerd gun. prolly would wanna get a gravity feed gun tho. and a nice compresser. if your gonna paint you better soon times starting to run out. find a cab yet?
