I have similar headers on my 68'. I have been very happy with them.

Sand blasted the cab today in driveway, will put in primer tomorrow, did the bottom of cab and roof a few days ago, messy job!

Barnfind46 · 10-05-2021, 03:14 PM

Broke the back glass replacing the rubber. Ordered a new one.

I put the toys in the back that I'm going to take to the toy drive this weekend. It's a car show toy drive. Pier 50 San Francisco

Nicely done! Best of both worlds!

**cwcarpenter98** · 10-09-2021, 07:13 PM

Started painting my new wheels today. I've had these for almost 2 years, but was waiting on needing new tires

Looks good Christian...that is patience!

Thanks, Andy! I didn't feel like paying to have the tires swapped over to the new wheels when I first got them, so they sat in those boxes on the shelf since

**cwcarpenter98** · 10-12-2021, 12:47 PM

New tires on. More pics in my build thread

jmarkha1 · 10-12-2021, 01:06 PM

new wheels / tyres and those hub caps look tough

Blasted my wheels and painted them. Got new tires.

goatless · 10-16-2021, 02:32 PM

Installed KYB Gas-A-Justs to try to keep the top of my tires off the fender well. They help some over the standard Monroes, but still touch when in tight corners.

blacknwhitedog · 10-24-2021, 02:54 PM

Gettin ready to pull the lowered rear leafs and switch over to a nolimit 4 bar.

Pitpig · 11-07-2021, 09:58 AM

Have a converted short bed with an LS and a th 400. Had terrible vibration at 70 mph. Shimmed rear 2 degrees down and trans 1 degree up per spicer calculator. Problem solved

It’s hard when your truck looks so good with that stance to change it at all

So true. I have 4" drop springs I can't use because my Monroes couldn't handle them. These KYBs raise the front slightly, unfortunately, and there's still the occasional rub. Might work if I had shorter front wheels.

**pdxhall** · 11-11-2021, 12:53 PM

I put the doors, fenders, cowl, & cowl extensions back on the truck for the last time until final prep and paint. I still have to work on gap alignments on the cowl extensions, cowl, and hood, and I also need to block out the hood.

Vary exciting looks good.

66x3 · 11-11-2021, 06:12 PM

Pdx what is your plan for color?

roll_the_dice · 11-11-2021, 07:49 PM

Greased all of the front end zerk fittings...didn't realize there were so many! Hopefully that will take care of my squeaking front end.

Barnfind46 · 11-11-2021, 07:50 PM

Starting on replacing the bed floor. I have a '72 parts truck with a steel floor bed. I am going to cut down the bed floor and adapt it to the stepside . It will be reversable. I will do a wood floor when I build the truck into a hotrod. I just want it usable now on the cheap. I have the parts and the skill and the time just no money for the replacement bed parts right now.
