67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Took a nice trip to Wichita Falls last week. Visited with Dartos. I bought this 69 barracuda from him a number of years back when i started this thread. He hooked me up with the K frame and lower arms that were from this car originally, and sold to somebody else, couple years later he got em back, and i will put them back in this car. $100 i thought was more than fair for them. He also hooked me up with a good used windshield for this car, and a power steering coupler, and rebuild kit for it.
I have been very busy since i got back but finally have time to post this. Had a great time talking mopars and checking out his cars. Fabo folks are really the best.
On a side note, I think that 5 hour round trip probably put the final coffin nail in my trucks fuel pump. At 150k something or other, i guess i shouldent complain. Yesterday it got to where it was showing a severe lean condition and wouldent rev past 1,500 rpm. I guess its time now to lift the bed off, and do the rest of my 4" rear drop kit while im there changing out the pump. All i did a few years back was 2" shackles, rear sway bar and poly bushings in the leaf springs, poly bushings in A arms, and sway bar, and 2" drop front spindles. Time for leaf spring front hangars and shock upper relocation mounts. Sets the truck at a 2"- 4" drop. Kinda levels it out. I have 1" drop springs for the front, will do those next for the 3" - 4" drop hot rod rake. Then i'm done with its suspension.
