Al's 71C10 Rebuild - Page 47 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72BlckButy · 01-02-2012, 02:48 PM

Al... it was installed on this truck "Lucy" that n2billet built. I've got pics at home but I know that Keith will have them for you in a a few.

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...highlight=lucy

n2billet basically removed the "kick out" that cuts into the rear inner fender to allow for more travel. On my truck the rear BS is 4.75" IIRC and if I were to every bag my truck (not going to happen) I would have to remove the "kick out" in order for my truck to lay out properly. If the pics aren't posted soon I'll round them up tonight.

72BlckButy · 01-02-2012, 02:52 PM

Nevemind... I found them Post #527. These were posted on project Surf Blue but were first installed on Lucy.

Thats a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to access the situation and see if I can do that instead of rebackspacing.

big_al_71 · 01-03-2012, 08:49 PM

I decided to install my painless under dash lights tonight. Great product super easy to wire up and it is really nice and bright in there now.

**lolife99** · 01-03-2012, 08:51 PM

Where did you get the Painless kit?
Do you have a part number?

Dang, you're gonna have to keep your shoes clean with those.

vgate71 · 01-04-2012, 12:28 PM

Hey Al, Sorry if I you mentioned it elsewhere already, but are you running a 67-70 diff or 71-72 diff?
I'm hoping the 20x10 w/5" b.s. will fit my 71 with my porterbuilt t/a rear and narrow 67-70 diff.

Jason

big_al_71 · 01-04-2012, 12:33 PM

Hey Jason
As far as I know I am running the 71-72 rr diff as I never changed it since I own the truck I did rebuild everything on it and installed an eaton posi unit.

Lights are nice touch. I was looking at the dash of your truck in the first part of the thread. Your truck used to be light yellow. That was the same color my truck was. Kind of funny.

vgate71 · 01-04-2012, 02:03 PM

Thanks Al! Love the new wheels too!

the truck was ochre and white but someone decided many moons ago to paint it black and white which I love also. seems like that ochre color combo was very popular back then as I remember a neighbor from when I was a kid his truck was that combo also.

Your Very welcome Keith!!!

big_al_71 · 01-07-2012, 04:43 PM

I had the left front air line blow out in my truck a few weeks ago, I bought a stailess steel union and got the line fixed but it was more of a band aid so I ordered 30 ft of air line as I want it to be perfect. I went ahead and ran a new air line plus I added a thermo sleeve on both front air lines as we believe the reason it blew up was because the header is relatively close to the air line and the heat melted it. I dont want to take any chances so I am hoping that it does not happen again.

nibs · 01-07-2012, 05:01 PM

HAHA, adding that to your airline is gonna give you MORE HORSEPOWER!
