beautiful truck although the camera seems to take funky looking pics.... anyone else see what i mean

FILICE72C10 · 06-30-2003, 10:20 PM

i think the picks are funny because i am compressing huge pictures 1920 by 1440 into 600 by 800. Next weekend I am going to take smaller pictures so when the are converted into web format they will not be stretched.

As for the rear shock relocaters, i did replace the lower and will finish the upper sometime in the next few weeks. I have to drop the exhaust to get to the upper mounts and did not have time. I would suggest buying the mounts.

Gino, The truck looks great. Its always great to see some customers trucks. Glad the parts worked out for you and thanks for your business.

FILICE72C10 · 06-30-2003, 10:37 PM

Bill- thanks again!

I may be in need of some upper and lower a-arm shaft assembles with the mounting u bolts, nuts and brackets (both sides), inner and outer tie rod ends with the ajuster sleeves (both sides) and a pitman and idler arm.

Let me know.

Iron-Butt · 06-30-2003, 11:23 PM

That look is great. I would leave it orange though.

FILICE72C10 · 06-30-2003, 11:47 PM

my truck just got repainted the original color. I would never paint it any other color. Its good to see so many others have the same opinion.

thanks

Sweet truck. The drop looks great, as does the color !!!!!

Ron · 07-01-2003, 01:25 AM

I just installed the ECE 2.5" front, 4" rear drop on my 69. Tires are 255-70-15's on 8.5X15 Torc thrust. Problem is front tire rub. I don't want to change wheels and I can't find a smaller tire that will fit on a 8.5" wide wheel. I'm going to ditch the drop spindles and go with the drop springs instead. This will level out my ride also. I feel the KYB shocks that came with the kit are way too soft. Just my 2 ct's. Yout truck looks great, love the color.

sixty8chev · 07-01-2003, 02:24 AM

Hey Ron

Do you have any plans for those drop spindles once they come out?
I'd be interested.

MidniteChevy68 · 07-01-2003, 04:45 AM

Damn that drop sure made it look more clean.

Ron · 07-01-2003, 10:31 AM

sixty8chev. I'll keep you posted.

landon4421 · 07-01-2003, 11:03 AM

That truck is looking really good now Gino! :p I guess I really need to come buy and see it. Being that you are only 5 blocks away.

Do you have a bother? I think his girl friend/wife works at the preschool that my son goes to. :p Small world!

Are you guys going to be around on the 4th? I have Friday off and might be able to ride up and see the truck then, let me know.

I will send you a PM with my home # give me a call when you are in town and I will come up and see the truck. Landon
