67cheby, that thing has turned out amazing!!!!

But, we need more pics...

72BlckButy · 11-20-2009, 03:54 PM

Have you decided if you are going to run front inner fenders? If so, what are you planning on using?

BTW, what tires are you running? Sizes?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-20-2009, 03:55 PM

Very kool man I wish i would have went that route but now im just tring to get it together to drive during the summer..

**67cheby** · 11-20-2009, 04:02 PM

i bought some grant custom tubs with one side welded up, my plan is to weld them into the factory fenders where they will still bolt in ?? i will have to get it mocked up to see if it looks ok ,just trying to get it setting right before i know how to set up my inner fenders

**67cheby** · 12-01-2009, 11:02 AM

little progress last night got my steering notches cut out , lower control arm off , steering stops shaved off, new lower ball joints getting pressed in today..stared at my weld together notch for about 10 minutes wishing i had bought one already welded together...lol pics coming later

smashingchuck · 12-01-2009, 12:49 PM

Upper control arms look great pointing at the shop ceiling, don't they?

**67cheby** · 12-01-2009, 01:42 PM

they(the control arms) are saying "look where i used to be" !!!!

**67cheby** · 12-09-2009, 06:55 PM

progress pics coming tomorrow !! hopefully going to work on front inner fenders tonight !! there has been a little hold up still waiting on my 4link parts

**67cheby** · 12-10-2009, 10:39 AM

well didnt get as far as i wanted but here is some pics of what i got done, installed my PB swaybar and steering notches welded in smoothed off super slick .. thanks for the sweet welding job Charles Mayhew!!

72BlckButy · 12-10-2009, 03:04 PM

Forward progress, that's all that counts. Nice work!

SledBurban · 12-11-2009, 03:31 AM

I don't know how much you are planning on driving the truck but you may reconsider the air-zeniths. I know ALOT of people have had serious issues with complete failure within 6 months of use, even the redesigned compressors have still had issues. Viairs are not as attractive as the air-zeniths but have a much more reliable track record, also consider engine driven compressor setups, when maintained properly they are nearly bulletproof as well.

On another note the tie-rod notches look stellar and that crossmember looks amazing installed. great job so far, can't wait to see how it progresses!

**67cheby** · 12-11-2009, 12:24 PM

now i am worried, anyone else have any experience with the Air Zenith compressors ??

Throwback · 12-11-2009, 07:15 PM

Old Air Zeniths were prown to problems. The newest ones that came out are running smoothly without any hickups so far from what I have heard.

bedsled71 · 12-11-2009, 09:32 PM

i have an air zenith but switched back to viair.. i love my dual viair setup.. my air zenith went out in a few months after i got it and when i got it back it was slower than before.. new ones are supposed to be badass but people will always have something bad to say about either

**67cheby** · 12-17-2009, 10:24 AM

a little progress last night , made some templates for the firewall, bolted the front sheet metal back on to see how much fender to cut out and to get ready for my hood hinges my hinges and 4link should be here on friday thanks PORTERBUILT. here are pics of my inner fenders with my idea basically stick them up through the hole and weld them in ...it sounds pretty simple i hope it turns out that way!!

my67chevytruck · 12-17-2009, 10:51 AM

looking good....

GVizzle · 12-17-2009, 10:58 AM

Whats your front wheel/tire spec Cheby?

BS?
Wheel Size?
Tire size?

Lookin Good.

**67cheby** · 12-17-2009, 11:06 AM

front tires are 255-45-20, i think today we are going to cut out the fender metal and set the front end down .. i think i am going to have to switch to a 255-40-20 it is one inch shorter the height is 28.1 on the 255-40. the wheel are as close as i can figure 20x9 with 6.5 back space . i am trying to measure them with the tire on.

GVizzle · 12-17-2009, 11:15 AM

Nice,

Im just tryin to get an Idea about what clearance to expect for my front.

I went with a 255/40/20 and 5.25 BS

Thanks, and keep the pics coming.

AVS_JASON · 12-17-2009, 07:02 PM

Looks great. Keep it up and keep the pics coming.
BTW: You will love you AZ comps. The new OB-2 model works great and looks amazing.

**67cheby** · 12-17-2009, 07:04 PM
