A few updates on the 67 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jkade · 07-20-2007, 09:08 PM

Well it has been a dirty job to say the least, I wish I had Mike Rowe with me the last couple of days because if he would have been as dirty as me it would have been a good show. I got the arms, spindles, drilled and slotted rotors, calipers, and steering off the blazer. I also unbolted the trailing arms and took it all at once and put under the truck. So the truck now has 4 wheel disc brakes and 20" torq thrust II's all the way around. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the brakes, master, and booster hooked up and get it to the alignment shop monday. I will hopefully post some new pics of it on 20's tomorrow. Here is a before so you guys can tell me what you think when I get done and I will get a new one tomorrow. Name: 67 SWB 002.jpg

Glad to hear you're making good progress. Truck looks great as it sits. I can 't wait to see it!

It`s going to look great!"I can see it now."Doesn`t Mike Rowe say that?

I don`t much like undercarriage work,let alone when it`s hot out.But,you got it done and the reward can be appreciated standing up straight like a human again.

Rear is a 6" spring with a 1" block and the front is drop spindles with cut factory springs.
