Ran out of money for the build, but it didn't stop me from dropping the front suspension from the frame on the '69.

Hey Dano, thanks,
I have a low hump. I originally did buy a Hurst but sent it back , the shifter seemed like it was going to be a bit short and I didn't want to have to lean forward to have to shift, plus it was about $100 bucks more than the one I put in which is from MR. Gasket, I did the install by myself, it wasn't to bad. almost forgot, the Hurst kit didn't even come with shifter boot cover. I would have had to buy that extra.

*project 67 sub* · 01-09-2011, 07:04 PM

bought another part, suburban 3rd door lower hinge from sharpie1972

Bowtie1216 · 01-09-2011, 07:57 PM

Replaced my front and rear shocks in 25 degree weather! yay, Don't you love them ol' trucks.

sjarrett71 · 01-09-2011, 09:07 PM

Started it and let it run a while. Haven't done that in a while since it turned cold. Everything worked fine too!

Hubscrub · 01-09-2011, 10:01 PM

installed my new clutch fan week ago in place of the flex fan haven't drove it yet because the yard is too muddy from the snow and rain (had to lock my 4wheel drive in on my 86 to get it out of the back yard and suppost to snow 4-8 inchs tonight and tomm. So it might not move till spring and i live in the south!

ItsRandy · 01-09-2011, 10:35 PM

Sprayed oven cleaner on some more parts, washed it off and finally found a little rust...not to worry, it's low on the pass side front fender well and only superficial. California truck.

Changed out all the cab & core support mounts on my 72/3/4 ton project. pulled the grille, realigned the doors& front clip pics to follow. cheers, Pat

*project 67 sub* · 01-09-2011, 10:26 PM

bought another part

. a new grey dash pad from gringoloco.

myoldchevytruck · 01-09-2011, 11:34 PM

Ughhhhh, the previous owner had decided that 4 inch trailer lights from Wal-Mart was the way to go for brake lights. Today, we decided differently. I had a few pieces of 14 gauge steel and the neighbor kid was more than willing to weld in the patches and this was what we finished prior to it getting dark. !'ll finish grinding tomorrow as it just got to late and too noisy

here's a few shots of my neighbor welding in the patches

ottc10 · 01-09-2011, 11:38 PM

Today I picked up a turbo 400 and all the stuff to convert it from a stick to auto.Also picked up a chrome front bumper.

k7elh · 01-09-2011, 11:50 PM

I went

k7elh · 01-09-2011, 11:51 PM

Well, today I went and got my book out of my truck.

I'm broke and it's my daily driver. Can't afford to tear it apart, lest I not be able to get to work in the morning.

Navy Mechanic · 01-10-2011, 12:51 AM

Finished installing the rear drop springs, shocks and trac-bar.

Early Classics. Fit perfectly and was pretty easy to install.

I installed the same ECE Super Track Bar with 6 inch drop coils last year. Great Setup.

I went with 5" springs in the rear. The install was straight forward and all components fit as advertised. Starting on the front this evening. Installing 1" drop coil combined with 2 1/2" drop spindles.
