cool project man, truck looks good....how did you lower it? sorry i tried going through every page..there are some long ass thread in here!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

LOL My garage is always a mess! I need to get rid of some stuff. Yeah the storms are getting on my nerves. We were without power for like 20hrs yesterday. We have more rain coming too. I'm ready for Florida myself.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Thanks! I lowered it with a ECE 4-6 drop kit. Yeah some of em do get long. I usually go through looking at pics most of the time.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

sweet!! looking really good....

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

chuck that looks awsome! i love the stance body and wheels and tires and caps all of it looks awsome! now I would add the 67 68 gmc trim (gmc has the red line for those that dont know) but that is just me

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Thanks. I didn't know that. I am in Florida with the family and don't know when I'll get to work on the truck.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

oh well it would be awsopme to get NOS or repo trim and paint a red line in..

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Hey when you get time can you post a nice side view shot of your truck with the new wheels and tires. :metal: Thanks, Nate

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

will do Nate. I need to get it pushed out and clean the floor under it anyway. Its dusty.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

I'm really diggin those 8" wide wheels. I didn't even know they existed. What year truck or car do they come off of? Great build btw. I really like the look of your truck. Seems familiar somehow but a little shorter:lol:

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

these were made for someone from stockers. I bought them this way. I was going to get a pic of it outside but things have kept me busy around the house.
Lightening struck our underground dog fence and cable. It burnt the wire 15' from the house. No wire left in the jacket..I fried 3 tvs, surge protectors, 2 garage door openers, computer power cord and all cable in the house had burnt jacks. I've rerun the cable. Had the cable co come out and check their connection on the pole. It was bad too they said. Waiting for insurance claim to see what I'm left buying. So I"ve been busy and haven't touched the truck. I so want to just work on the truck one complete weekend. till then......

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Man that sucks! Sorry to hear about the mess you have. I worked for Cox communications in AZ for 11 years before moving to AR so I know what your dealing with. Almost sounds like the line wasn't grounded properly to cause that much damage in your house. Who's your provider? I hope your insurance pulls through on the damages.

As far as the wheels, I was kinda thinking that they might be custom. I wonder how hard it would be to re hoop a set myself? Oh well, my intentions outweigh my motivation by like 85%:lol:

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Sorry to hear about the wiring..

$80 bucks to have tires taken off and re mounted?!?!?!?!?!?! holy crap man! Next time give me a shout! Theres a small mom pop place with awesome vintage signs about 20 minutes from I 24 @ Manchester TN exit that charges $5 to take a tire off 1 wheel and put it on another, and sometimes he'll throw in a coke!!!!!!!!!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Here you go Nate..I got the truck rolled out today to change the garage door openers. Snapped some pics when I was done. Honey-do list is getting shorter so maybe I can work on it soon. I've also lost some motivation too. I think the frontend will come down some more when I get the motor done and running. and get the ac installed, inners installed. The rear is full of bicycle and tv boxes so its not weighed down that much.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

Thanks guys!! I like it too. I want to get it moving on its own power. Its too heavy.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

I do too. I think that it sets the truck apart from most.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Great lookin' ride...look forward to seeing it on the road!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Ugh! gotta start working on this or part it. lol.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Please do work on it....don't part it :chevy:

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

I got a 68 TN plate off of ebay coming. Its a civil defense plate.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

If you do part it...(lol) I may be interested in that cab, it even matches my trucks colors lol

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

As of now I'm keeping it. I'm going to try to work on it over the holidays. I'm off the week of Thanksgiving and two weeks around Christmas.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

I got my plate today. I think this will look good on the front of the truck.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

That's cool!!!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Man, that's in really good shape. It'll be a nice addition for sure.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

x2!!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Thanks Guys! I got a little done today. Very little. I cut the firewall for the vintage air lines to go through. Drilled the hole for the drain. Put the cover on but haven' sealed it yet though. I am thinking about painting the firewall satin black like I have done in the past with other trucks. I also test fit the headlights. The grill I have for mocking up needs to come up on the pass. side. The holes will need a little wollering to make that happen. I think it all is going to fit.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Hey Chuck...I didn't know you had to trim the firewall for the VA system??....what had to be trimmed and why??

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

When using the firewall cover that they send with the kit you have to trim a little of the metal so the hoses will clear. (see the square corners) I don't ever see my trucks being show pieces or all that so I don't mind the plastic cover on there. I also had to drill the drain hole. Thats the larger hole at the bottom.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Looking good!

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 

Thanks.I didn't get to do anything today. In-laws plumbing problem.
