I've finally done it.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 12:26 PM

With the help of a fellow member, I have become motivated to actually start acquiring parts for my 68. So far....I have gotten a new cam (should be a slightly choppy idle

), new torque converter, TCI master trans rebuild kit, 2 1/2" drop spindles/disc brake kit from GMC Paul, 4" rear drop springs from GMC Paul, and a door weatherstrip kit from him as well. I've also ordered a set of 2 1/16" phantom gauges for the bottom 4 holes of my dash, I already have a 5" 160 MPH speedo, a 3 3/8" Oil Psi, and a 5" drag'n tach.

Next on the list are a set of tires, a front end rebuild, brake lines front to back, adjustable panhard bar, rear shock relocators, hopefully a van tilt if I can find one cheap, and a few other little things that I'm sure will come up....

Fellow board members can sometimes be very evil, you have all been warned

i've got a van tilt $75 if you pickup daytona beach area

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 12:44 PM

The only problem is, my truck is still in IL, and all the mechanical stuff that's going to be done, is getting done up there. So I'd still have to ship it

I really appreciate the offer, you should be able to off that tilt real quick at that price

Longhorn Man · 07-04-2003, 12:59 PM

TJ, I might have a tilt for you...good price, and shipping my well be taken care of.

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 01:05 PM

Awesome Andy, I sent you a PM!

Longhorn Man · 07-04-2003, 01:10 PM

**Yukon Jack** · 07-04-2003, 03:53 PM

Glad you gonna get some stuff done. You never came and got my 454 ya know.

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 04:23 PM

Yeah...sorry about not "picking up" the 454

..I didn't feel like dealing with trying to sneak it out of there.....Picking lead out of my a** isn't exactly a favorite pass-time ya know

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 06:06 PM

I forgot to mention, I haven't done anything major to this truck in a little over 2 years now

Many thanks to Racedvl for lighting a fire under my arse...otherwise I'd probably sell her

*Shane* · 07-04-2003, 11:24 PM

hey Bro ... don't forget ... you got a "truck-load" of parts to pick up here in North Alabama!

**68 Stepside** · 07-04-2003, 11:36 PM

What kind of tonneau cover is that?

Longhorn Man · 07-06-2003, 01:02 AM

I still dig the Mustang seats.
I almost forgot about them!

*racedvl* · 07-06-2003, 12:33 PM

As far as I know he did put the stock bench seat back in. I hope so, IMO them stang buckets didn't look very good.

Longhorn Man · 07-06-2003, 02:00 PM

yeah, I know he did, he commented on that not too long ago.
Didn't the two of you get a full depth foam seat from Randy a year and a half ago?

Longhorn Man · 07-06-2003, 03:29 PM

*racedvl* · 07-06-2003, 05:24 PM

Longhorn Man · 07-06-2003, 07:29 PM
