Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
That is some nice work on the bed, your body shop does great work! What interior color are you going with?
Have you decided if you will make it to the Nat's? |

a few pics of the bed in first prime, sitting on the truck... I know everyone is going to like the front bed spacers.. a lot of engineering went into them..LOL
|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
Looks good bro, I raised mine 6", but Im thinking about going more before I weld it all up, as I have plans of being lower in the future
Are you planning on Z'ing the frame ??? |
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
no i am not zing it, this is about as low as i will get. any pics of your bed ??? i woul like to see it , are the fenders touching the bed lip ??
|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
Nice work!
|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
I havent finished my bed yet, but when done, the fenders will most likely be touching & I plan to make my own instead of using the stock ones
Heres a link to the page my bed mods are on http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=305050&page=7 |
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby

|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
did you make your exhaust or did you purchase it made. i assume its from your stock manifolds to the Y
|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
its nice to actually see foto's on how to raise a stock floor allway figured they just welded the floor higher on the sides but they raise the sides as whell ...... makes it look a lot better
|
Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
i had the exhaust made by Mayhews Race cars, they do a great job.. thanks on the bed floor i think it is the only way they look right !!
