Your work looks great on this one, it's sad some of the stuff people think is safe to run on the street. Did you build or buy the new link's?

dv8customs · 06-28-2013, 11:48 AM

I bought them from AVS

ccreddell · 06-28-2013, 02:48 PM

So? What are the wheel and tire sizes on the green truck?

I don't know the tire sizes but the wheels are 22x8.5 and 24x15

After about a year, I finally tacked in my firewall panels

And I also got a sweet new welding table

Bomp · 08-19-2013, 01:52 AM

Like the push button.

Pop's C-10 · 08-19-2013, 04:24 AM

very trick

aggie91 · 08-19-2013, 05:44 PM

That tailgate button is cool!

dv8customs · 09-09-2013, 08:09 PM

A little progress for you

Got the engine mocked up and welded the mounts to the cross member. During mock up I saw I needed a little more room for the oil pan so I took care of that as well

ratty 46 · 09-09-2013, 08:58 PM

Dig the tailgate "button" & the little weld stand/table.

It's amazing what can be done on a smaller/sturdy weld table.

Keep us posted on the progress.

dv8customs · 09-10-2013, 11:28 PM

Block bolted up and she still lays out

dv8customs · 09-13-2013, 12:00 AM

Relocated the wiper motor to the cowl and modified the arms to work again

Since the front fenders are back on the shop floor it should be easier to sell them to me now

.. Been gone for awhile good to see you working on the truck. I bet your son is grinding by now with his pops instead of just sitting in the front seat.

The front member looks great. Your work on the Blue chevy is excellent. Cant wait to see whats next, after all you have a roof over your head now.

dv8customs · 11-02-2013, 06:29 PM

Can anybody running a dropmember tell me how the upper shock mounts locate? I can't seem to line it up with any factory holes. This is on a customers '72

more pics pppp please!

JNJchev77 · 11-03-2013, 12:40 PM

It may have changed... I have the V3, tubular version.

But there is a "locator tab" on the shock mount. That tab goes into the old mounting hole, and you drill new holes for mounting the shock mount.

Hope that helps... I'll take pics if you need. I do have a 77, but should be roughly the same.
