I just got an 81 2nd gen Camaro , im wanting to rip alll of the tbi wiring out, and put a new 350 sbc carbed, was wondering if you knew where the best spot to start would be and or what wiring needs to go? And what can stay!? Obviously Alternator, starter, battery and etc needs to stay..

Of the trucks you browsed in this video, I think my fave is that stepper at the end. I'm normally into the lowered stuff. But for some reason, that color combo (extra points for the cooler) with those mags just really struck me. Definitely nailed the late 70s off roader vibe.

After we installed the link bars to the rear end we raise it up to ride height. Then we installed the bag in a neutral position as far as inflated height versus aired out versus aired up, the upper plates are also contoured to where they're supposed to sit on the frame.

Seat option for bigger fellas. Me being 6'-5" switched mine out of an extended cab seat from a newer Chevy. The seat has a smaller profile so you gain some decent leg room. It's very easy to mount using the stock seat sliders and you also retain the forward tilt. Any of that new seat side action you were displeased with is also hidden by the stock retractable seatbelt setup.
