Few updates / replace the leaking 13 gal gas tank with a 20 gal & pickup-sending unit , replace the worn out manual steering box with a good used one ( capt fab hooked me up ) figured no pics were needed for these , replace the glove box and looked through everything and found the protecto plate and owners manual

YOur off to a great start!!

Bomp · 11-13-2012, 11:03 AM

Looks like you have a nice project going on. Thanks for the window weld info. I will keep that tad bit of info tucked away when I have to do mine.

doobiebro · 11-13-2012, 11:30 AM

duallyjams would you like to share where the vent window rubber, window channel and window felts came from? I replaced mine about 4 years ago and all the rubber is dry rot and vent windows are very hard to open....the bad thing about it is I havent fully enjoyed driving my project yet...

Amerillo on C/L
For some reason it was on cl for over a month with no interest , I got it for a lot less then what the asking price was.

duallyjams · 12-22-2012, 05:50 PM

Got all the gauges working except for the odometer and the speedometer would bounce so the only option left was to pull the gauge pod out.

Did you paint the bezel or is it just bead blasted?

Time to address the truck leaning to one side. The PO lowered the truck by heating the spring with a torch.

This is some really nice stuff . The only problems that I had was me not paying attention. Thanks to Rob from taking time out of his busy day to answer my question and help me along. Went for a quick ride and it's a big difference in ride quality.

Here is a thread about NoLimit parts http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=477839

This is looking good. I need to add the trailing arms and panyard or tracking bar. I have the 9" and air shocks with leaf springs. No trailing arms or nothing and the airshocks look to be in a funky position. Can you do this with leaf springs successfully?
