The lift may just be longer shackles with stock springs. The rear fenders are cut out and the fronts lifted up and forward by cutting the apron pieces shorter. The spring over shocks are old school overload or help combat worn springs = rough ride. Truck looks clean.

Top Fiberglass Top - fiberglass is in good condition, drip rail - not so good, no headliner ** $75.00 ** Is this a whole top? If so I am interested. Sending PM

What size bit are you using? Maybe your trying to drill too big a hole. Not only did I use a hand drill but I kept the whole pack together and did them all at once. Lots of fluid, pressure, slow speed and some crappy bit I had laying around; 3/8 I believe. I only have a few bits that cost...

I like this one. Has the "tried and true" appearance, which means it must work well. If I had an early cruiser with a PTO I would go this route. Also has my favorite paint; old or none.

Windshield washer squirter. Do I win a prize?

I would like to know too. Same set-up, mine did what you are describing last summer. Its still zip tied on. The lid sort of inverted and no longer seals.

I think I saw this recently in a magazine or on Pirate on an early jeep. Instead of a shackle on the front the bar was machined round and just slid into a hole. Im sure it could be set up with a shackle as well.

You get a pass in my book. For 74 your doing extremely well. Explore the other features of this site; FAQ, Technical Links, Search, etc. There is a wealth of information available to you right now if you just hit the right buttons.

Tie rod tube Sounds like this is what you are looking for- American thread on one side, metric on the other- $40 from Downey, others may have it also. If you happen to be in North CA I have a new one you can have for $20 but I dont want to ship. Look here...

Heres mine. 55 springs so 3.5-4 inches longer in the back. I cut it as clean as I could but still would like some sort of trim for the edge to give it a cleaner look. My only fuel tank is one of the rear aux tanks. I mounted it in the floor, half above and half below, so that it is even...

I did all mine on the garage floor. Used a big chisle (spelling?) to bend them away from the spring and a big punch and big hammer to straighten them all out. Then drilled near the end for 3/8 bolts through some small tube. Lots of work for the outcome but I can take the springs apart as many...

Dont think your MC is original. Shouldnt be a booster on a 67. Cant answer for the rear housing.

Mine came with a 4 speed. 1974, production date- 12, 1973. This era used a "transition" T case with low gears somewhere between the 3 and later 4 speed T cases. I am fairly certain that everything that came with mine was factory.

MAF sells, or used to sell, a 4 inch 55 lift spring. I used to have some. That might be worth a shot, or look for some used ones.

You are right sir. Big hammer bent it in just slightly, enough to fit easily and still leave room for movement. Thanks to all....
