What made you decide on Vintage Air? Ive heard some people say Classic Auto Air moves more air.

chevy_632, sounds great, I will do that. Shoot me a pm on the trailing arms when you have some done.

Thanks!

Larry

chevy_632 · 04-19-2007, 01:05 PM

Was gonna go for vintage air..not doing any air now i dont think the truck is very practical neways so i said screw it,its not like im going to be going on long trips in it with the milage she's going to get so im gonna go for no air and keep the firewall and inside all smooth for the mean time..rob

71chevylowrider · 04-19-2007, 01:18 PM

Hey Rob, I don't see any pic's of the swing down ignition you mentioned earlier in this post, any chance you could show us what that looks like, I Love your truck, I'll keep mine around for a parts truck in case you need it.

Bamm · 04-19-2007, 01:57 PM

Did you smooth the whole firewall? If so where did you relocate the brake booster? I've been looking at an under cab setup but I'm not sure if my exhaust would work with it. Great truck......Jerry

Nice

68 FISH · 04-22-2007, 07:47 PM

Are the pictures with the rear of the truck aired out or at ride height? Also what are you using a bolt in c-notch or fabricated. Any pics of the rear setup would be great!

bayer20 · 04-22-2007, 08:15 PM

Hey Chevy_632, I was just wondering, How many times was this truck primed and blocked before you painted it? It is smoth as glass.

We need a "BLACK TRUCK CLUB". Your truck is beautiful. Congratulations. I'm jealous.

It takes an extraordinary amount of prep work to get a vehicle ready to shoot in black. I'm hoping that mine is just as straight as yours when it's done.

chevy_632 · 10-10-2007, 08:56 PM

Couple more,had to take one of the new toolbox i baught since on here last to haha..

chevy_632 · 10-10-2007, 08:58 PM

CHYNSPR · 10-11-2007, 09:55 AM

Looks fantastic, when I make it up there to visit my buddy for golf, I would love to have a look, probably next spring now.

Will you still be producing the trailing arms?
