Re: 67 short fleet
I have not touched truck in months. I filed for divorce on June 30. I think I will still have the truck when it is all over. We will see. Priority is the kids and trying to keep the home. There is a ton of stuff to do to the truck that won't cost anything. Just my time. But why bother if I loose it.

Re: 67 short fleet
I just did the 72 accelaertor pedal swap today on my 68. The pedal installed great, but the cable was to long. I had to buy a rebuild cable from autozone to have it link up. there was to much binding in the cable. I also picked up one of those wiring harnesses from a juck yard for $25. already assemblied works out great.

Re: 67 short fleet
Those are some GREAT deals! The T3's I've been selling for 75/pr. And the rad support is worth an easy 150-175!

Re: 67 short fleet
Awesome buy Matt!
I just sold a 67/68 core for more than double what you purchased that one for. Hope that life is going well up north.

Re: 67 short fleet
Really not much progess. I picked up a early classic 6" drop kit. Divorce is still not final. I am still looking for the 67 air cleaner.

Re: 67 short fleet
I ordered modular spindles and 3" drop springs yesterday frop CCP. I hope to pull the rearend out in the next few nights. I have a posi with 3.73's to be added. Almost forgot I picked up a 700R4 the other day also. I need to get these parts installed and take it for a drive. She will be ugly, but it would be good to drive it.

Re: 67 short fleet
Well I picked up another truck. A 52 chevy 3/4 ton five window. The plan is to make a cheap project for my 13 1/2 year old son. I want both my son and daughter to know about cars. Should be fun!
