69LC

My wife and I have been bumming around the forest roads east of Manistee. Yesterday was ok, but today we discovered Udell Hills. It wasn’t anything too technical, but there are miles of trails. The trails made me wish I had an 80 front end and...

I have lots of parts ready to assemble for any type of set. Great projects for fall and winter wrenching!

Zipties on a driveshaft is a great prank lol

@Rock40 I poured through this whole thread today and learned a lot! I'm eager to get back to working on my 69 LS project too. I have a Dodge dually front d60 I picked up a while back I'm planning to lob the inner Cs off and stuff them into a...

Part numbers for my intermediate shaft Part number for the 2 U-joints I used, they are large and the clearance is tight on the steering box end with the water pump elbow.

Thanks everyone for the advice, @cruisermatt is getting me taken care of!

I make an entire kit for this, we're in Orlando too and if you want can arrange to have a truck with the exact setup here so you can see exactly how to do it (my 71 is setup just like this). info@cruisermatts.com EDIT. Duh, Chad weren't you...

Engines. Many options. Easy/Simple is a chevy 350 carbed. Mine has one behind a 3 spd on the floor. Its wicked. Does 80 mph all day! Love Toyota engines. But this one gets my grubby hands over them most days.

Dude, your hinges are mint! Thank you! D

I’m glad to be part of your build. Your truck is a beauty.

Apparently 1969 was a bit of a changeover year. Early ones seem to have round signals, later, rectangle.

After you and Nolen mentioned it, I looked it up. Boy do I feel dumb. These were clearly replacing the stock pieces, which were in fact supposed to be there. I figured you were trolling me. Oops.

The bib spacers are supposed to be there!

Looks like a nice survivor! And we don't need to alert the bezel police :) I've never seen eyelids on one of these. I may get flamed for this, but I kind of like it! I'm just starting work on a 1967 that I picked up a month or so ago. I'd be...

Don’t dump it! If you can’t use it someone will.

Many thanks. Crazy how some times you know its just right there

Hey @TCEd if we do the meet/run on the 11th I might have to split early for my aunt’s annual hayride at her Belding farm.

TTT

I think I might have sent my first ever order to Saskatchewan today.

Thanks for posting @gmr76. I would recommend installing the hard doors first and setting the hinges to the body with them and then adjust any second or more sets to the initial setting. Matthew

I’m back from my wife’s bday camping trip and am ready to ship as ordered. Matthew

Is this like the chicken and the egg question? Which comes first, coffee or the sh!ts?
