Did you have to raise your panhard bar or was it just due to the notch? Looks like a stripe up your pumpkin, but hard to tell. My 'burb is rubbing due to the bags and stock set-up. Shortened bar, however.

Thought you might like these too.. The mirror you see was my late grandfathers.. He put all those stickers on it back in the 60's. I have had it ever since I was little boy.. Also I collect Papst stuff.. These bar lights/old neon's were found in an old closed bar... I am thinking they are from the late 60's Early 70's.. Also the Papst poster with the ram on it is from the 60's.. Crazy stuff.. Think I have a PBR problem????

Here is what we did with the Pan hard bar.. No more rubbing anymore.. Sorry the pic angles are kinda bad.. I did not have time to jack it up.. I had to try to slide my arm underneath to grab a quick few..

protrash64 · 02-04-2009, 12:11 AM

Thanx, appreciate it. So it is raised at the mount end; its usually under the frame, right? I cant remember right now

That's cool! I tried that on the knobs in my '62 but the didn't fit... My woman has a 2008 Malibu and we some PBR caps snapped on to the heater/AC controls.

joe231 · 02-04-2009, 11:28 AM

That is some cool stuff, and the family history makes it even cooler

Post a pic.. I would love to see that!!!

bird7263 · 02-04-2009, 11:20 PM

One of the guys on the photoshop did this for me.. Would this not be cool.. Some day

redsean · 02-05-2009, 05:59 PM

man truck is coming along nice. cant wait to check it out this summer. after seen what you and your crew does i know even on a budget this truck will be sick.

bird7263 · 02-10-2009, 11:05 PM

This is another pic photochopped.. I am really diggin it.. Now if I could just find some fat whites.. Also.. Anybody out there have a 63 grille?

protrash64 · 02-10-2009, 11:15 PM

I hear ya bird.....I like all these trucks but the '63 grills just seem a little cleaner.

bird7263 · 02-17-2009, 08:15 PM

So here is the new Air Cleaner top that I came across.. Its old 13" Beer tray I bought off of Ebay.. Flipped it upside down and wala, a new lid..

So guys I need a few more question answered.. Is this a low hump or high.. I need to order new carpet bad.. Unless you have any you want to sell???

Reyals Bemus · 02-17-2009, 08:46 PM

Just my quick take on it:

bird7263 · 02-17-2009, 08:51 PM

Thanks.. I just need to step up to the plate and bag it.

protrash64 · 02-17-2009, 11:24 PM

That is a high hump.....original floor shift? High hump for sure. If you ever see a low hump you'll laugh. They're practically flat.

jchav62 · 02-18-2009, 10:58 AM

That air cleaner is BADA$$$!!! I love it!! I believe that is a high hump floor. The low humps only come up a couple inches and came in trucks that were either factory automatic or three on the tree.

I love the sh*t out of that truck... Something about the Blue with the black wheels that grabs me... Now call Nate and slide a Dropmember under it!! Makes it drive like a new truck..

bird7263 · 02-18-2009, 06:52 PM

Some day I might throw a dropmember under it.. But I have a kid on the way that will be here in May.. So money is real tight.. For right now the only thing I have to do is new carpet and lay some dynamat down to quiet up the cab for lil girl.

I got everything working, Every gage, cig lighter, horn, wipers, heater.. Everything on this truck works like new.. This a total comfortable driver..

protrash64 · 02-18-2009, 06:58 PM

Hey dude, unless you already have the Dynamat, check out Tony's thread with the sound proof stuff he used....from Lowes and about 1/8th of the price

....maybe a 1/4.

I think its the BCKNBLK thread.
