ag1972 · 02-15-2011, 11:40 PM

yeah it came with the lever and the bracket for the back of the cab. Do you have a pic of the bracket on yours? Where I am I have never seen a set in a truck and I have never seen a pic on here either.

ag1972 · 02-23-2011, 05:20 PM

Got the front end lowered today. ECE drop spindles and one coil cut out of the spring. BIG difference from the stock height with HD springs haha. Also put a pic of the motor witht the carb and distributor in. Waitin on a set of vette manifolds and finned valve covers.

67chevy1series · 02-23-2011, 06:55 PM

haha I am amazed someone knows what it is, especially on a chevy truck forum haha. I've got moser axles on the way for it, I have the old ones pulled right now. the torque thrusts on the back are made for 1/2in studs and its only got 7/16 studs in it. A-body axles dont have enough meat on em for half inch studs. I would have left it alone, but back in the fall I almost lost a wheel goin down the interstate. I'm talkin every lug nut had backed off enough that I could take them off by finger.

67chevy1series · 02-23-2011, 10:07 PM

i know about those and i am only 15! hahah they were a special options that some auto makers would give you after things were getting ''groovy'' in the late 60's

That's awesome you know about them too. When I take it to a show or even just ridin around, someone that was drivin when they made them will ask what it is and "whats that on the top?" They never believe me when I tell them it was original for the car. So, I always carry around a copy of the window sticker that reads "vinyl roof-floral" They usually just shake their head in disbelief.

67chevy1series · 02-23-2011, 10:25 PM

i wil take some pics that show what taught me about them in a sec

ag1972 · 05-14-2011, 09:30 AM

Since the last update I have rebuilt the rearend, rear brakes, lowered the back, converted to 5 lug, cut holes in the trailing arm xmember for the exhaust, and finally got my vette manifolds. Don't worry, that fuel line and water neck is just temporary haha. Drop in the back is from 5in springs and ece shock kit. Front drop is ece spindles and one round cut out.
