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!

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

I removed the rear end last night. It got wet at one point or another. Nasty looking oil and lots of rust chunks in the axle tubes. I may buy another and start over.

Re: 67 short fleet

I've been looking things over. A mock up. Lower control arm front bushing is shot. I've ordered enough parts to totally rebuild them. Ball joints were replaced years ago. I also have to come up with a plan for the brake hose/line. 67 is on the back of the crossmember and it needs to be on the front side for disc brakes.

Matt. It's those things in life that are great!! I wasn't as lucky as you, my girls have no interest. Now... whats with the shorts and flip flops you guys? You look like Boyd wanna be's Good to see ya smile again. Now, get the work boots, jeans, safety glasses, and gloves and tear sh** up. There are twice as many hands on deck now!!

I'll be down to check it out soon.
Will the mods let you start a separate build thread for Taylor's truck? Hope so.

I've known you a long time buddy, I'm anxious to see your version of doing it "ugly but cheep" not how you roll my friend.

Re: 67 short fleet

Posi rear end together and coating it with Rust Seal. I found the product at a swap meet and like it. I have kind of moved to getting the frame and suspension done first. Frame is damaged from an accident some time in the trucks life. I hope to pull the engine and trans soon to be able to measure what needs to be done. Single life is great, I just have more things to do. Happily Divorced my friends.
