Finally got my doors done this weekend. Got the skins on and bolted the doors back on to set the gaps. Need to do the bodywork on them now. Had to modify the drivers side cab corner to get that gap right. Oh well whats a little more cutting and welding at this point lol.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Looks like a "wizard of oz" picture???!!! Did your cab land on you???:lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Nice pile of parts you got in from Nate. I hope to upgrade my suspension one of these days. I just want to get it on the road right now.
I hear you on the welding cutting fitting .....repeat. It's a never ending deal. You have done a bunch of the same stuff I have been fighting for the last two months in my free time.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I had the same plan Mike, get the truck done and on the road with the static drop but the Porterbuilt bug bit me :lol:. Now i'm going to end up modifying my rear suspension so it will sit a little lower as well.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I was noticing yesterday my full length headers are going to be a little low for my truck as it is now.. I might just have to go PB cross member and might as well do arms, and bags, and frame supports, .. while I have the cab off, right? then run my exhaust through the frame and just do it right.

My plan is to fire my BB on the Magnaflows I have now then move them over to my GMC and go with something different for the 68. We'll see how it pans out but I think I might have to go to a midlength on my BB. you said you're were Chevelle headers, correct?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Chad if your planning on changing the trailing arm crossmember then you should definitely do that while your cab is off. It would make life alot easier on you. I'm going to be changing mine out pretty soon too, well that is once I decide to order one.

My headers are Hedman Elite 68618. They are mid-length headers for a 70 Chevelle. They fit perfect with my 68-71 frame mounts but I did have to trim the frame a little on the passenger side. I knew I wanted to eventually bag this truck so that's why I went with the mid-lengths from the start.

Thanks, I don't think my wallet likes the direction this build is going lol. I'm finally doing what I wanted to do to the truck when I first got it but couldn't afford it.

Is it a dropmember??

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

oh......do tell !!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

I'll let you guys know in about 4 weeks :lol:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

not fair :(

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Nice truck! Can't wait to see if finished!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Ok Ok I can't keep a secret lol, it is a Dropmember but not for the front. I ordered a Mild Rear Dropmember. I really liked the fact that I only have to raise the bed floor 5 inches to cover the notch. This way my bed floor will still have a stock look to it just a little raised.

Thanks Mike, I have been looking for something between mildly bagged with a c-notch and a huge step notch. Then porterbuilt came out with this mild kit and I was sold.
