Baggin My 67 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Take2 · 07-20-2008, 05:35 PM

Well Started the Airride on the 67.....

Front is Completed...still need to find some headers that will work the long tubes hang too low......and my shortys are hitting the motor mounts

When my Boyd Harms come in it will complete the look..... The picture of the tire all the way up in the fender is not how it sits now....we got about 2 more inches out of the front....

Also had to pull out the rear crossmember....thats a job with the cab on...but we got it out

Tubular Uppers and Lowers

Cut a god bit out of the top of the fender for a few more inches....plus these tires are huge compared to the new wheels

Can you say Notch !!!

Take2 · 07-20-2008, 05:38 PM

Crossmember ......

Should be putting the new Crossmember in tomorrow ....Will Take more pics as we do more work...

Thanks Steve and Jeff you guys busted ass !!!!!

I've always loved those Harms! They look awesome. Where are you putting your air management? In the bed?

Wootdog · 07-23-2008, 09:19 PM

Good build. Maybe that will get me motivated to finish mine. At this time I just have rear bags in that I am using like air shocks. My brother started this project and made it so I had to have rear bags at least. It had the cups welded in on the rear and the rear coils wouldn't work anymore. I just air the rear bags up like you would air shocks. Works for now.

Cool truck. What's the specs on the wheels and tires?

randomhero472 · 07-24-2008, 12:30 AM

where did you mount your valve manifold? And just my opinion, but your going to be way UNDER compressored with 10 gallons of air. Also you running drop spindles? and any clearence issues w/the 20's... LOOKS GREAT! MORE PICS

*paisaloco67* · 07-24-2008, 02:54 AM

Nice work! That is a bad a** burb shown in one of the pics...do you have
any more pics of it? Nice bling blings by the way!
