haha thanks bro. still a whole lot more work ahead of myself. my skills are not that great especially in the welding department, thats why i did not weld the notch my self but did help with the install of it lol. the a arms on the other hand i am doing myself , the welds are not perfect as i am using an arc welder and also not the greatest welder, but they should hold as it is welded inside and out, front and back top and bottom lol..

[oldblue1968chevy]

I need to find some A arms to rebuild and notch the bottom out like that for my coil springs! Lookin' good man, lookin good. Hey as long as your welds hold, I guess thats all that matter!

Were ya able to score the disc brake front crossmember?

[project 67 sub]

it already had them on it when i bought it from my friend, he is the one that did the disc swap (complete crossmember disc to disc). but i added the power brakes to it.

[project 67 sub]

sorry no pics. but the other lower a arm is cut and welded up, didnt shorten them though. still need to re sand blast them then i can put the cross shafts and stuff back in and paint them. then get some bags and install them as well lol.

oh ok. its a stock 2 piece... well sort of, its the stock front half with a cpp slip joint rear and a flipped carrier bearing

[project 67 sub]

haha its ok lol. and thanks. not a whole lot to read, mostly pics. makes it easier on people trying to catch up and what not

[project 67 sub]

making some templates to box the lower arms in, and also got my 3" drop spindles.

got a free '68 a/c dash from a buddy today, just had to remove it from the cutup cab

[67chevy1series]

[kev2809]

eventually it will have a/c, but dont know how far down the road that will be. want to run a vintage a/c style setup. so i figured get that and add it to the truck so it will already be their when i am ready

that sounds like a smart decision!

[project 67 sub]

thats what i was thinking lol.

[project 67 sub]

no pics but i picked up another set of bags and some fittings to run them shraders, some 2600 doms. will be installing those in the back and removing the dual 3/4 port 4 ply 2600 contis and putting them in the front. also picked up a few more tools to use when working on the truck.

edit: on that dash i will be cutting the center section out and plating it so its smooth then i will cut a new hole in it lower down for the in dash i plan to run. might add a few other things to as well just not sure what yet.

ordered a double adjustable panhard bar today from porterbuilt . i already cant wait for it

[kev2809]

nice..

make sure you get the longest one they sell.i got the short one by mistake. instead of sending it back, i sectioned the metal and welded a solid rod in the middle to make it reach...sure hope my welds hold lol

[project 67 sub]

thanks, and i'm pretty stoked to have my first piece from the porterbuilt line coming and will hopfully be buying more from him down the road. the one that i ordered from him is the same one that comes in his stage 2 drop kit, it mounts just like the cpp double adjustable track bar.

[project 67 sub]

here is another pic of the burb as it sits right now, just in the garage.

stocking up on some parts and tools, still more to come

some 2600 dominators and a couple fittings to run on shraders

cpp front upper shock relocating brackets

and the grey dash pad that i bought from gringoloco

[kev2809]

nice! i could have sent ya the t's i used when i ran temporary schraders...they are 1/2" t's with the schrader in the middle.

also, what shock ya plan on goin with? i bought some 50's chrysler shocks and they bolt right up...just installed them last night. i havent put the wheels back on yet to check fully inflated and fully deflated to see if they bottom out, but they sure are a cheap alternative.

haha oh well lol. as far as shocks not sure yet, i have a set of stock replacements from autozone that i will probably run in the mean time if they work, but if not, then i will have to find something else to use. also got a pic of the ones you used and where did you get them???

[kev2809]

oh, well since you have the relocation kits im pretty sure your stock shocks should work. the ones i bought are Monroe pn#5752, got them at O'reilly for $22.99 each. heres a pic..



the only thing i had to do was trim the bushing a little to make it fit in between the mount..but i believe my mounts are after market (the nut for the bolt would hit the arm next to the mount as it got tighter)

ill snap a pic tomorrow when i get off work

[project 67 sub]

haha for sure thanks bro.

In your sig - "...and black 20" wheels and tires (20" KMC Rockstars eventually)"
