Man looking good! The inner fenders turned out real nice and the frame mods will make a big difference! Keep it up.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

i have been running for 3 years now started running about 1/2 mile to begin with made it up to 3.5 stayed there for a year and a half , 3 times a week, in the last year we have bumped it up to 8 miles on mon and fri and 3.5 on wednesdays... so it has taken me a while to get here but i am proud of myself.. hopefully i will live long enough to build a few more trucks !!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

That's awesome! Running is hard, especially long distance. My buddy started training a year ago for his first marathon. He just ran it Saturday. 26 miles!! He retired from the navy 1 1/2 years ago.
If you stay in shape then you can work on your truck more.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

i ocasionally hang out on a forum for dually pickups , these run 22 rims think it where 35 inch high tires (see my avatar) , they do need releave on the firewhall and the removal of the brakebooster to lay frame or even the pichwelds under the cab (they Z the frame and raise the floor and drop the cab over the frame ) pretty extreme if you ask me but it looks cool
