the story for this build.
my grandpa is a long time hot rod builder and has a lot of knowledge. i love to go help him on his projects. but i wanted to build one of my own. so i picked up the 67 and the guy had tried to put it on an oldsmobile frame but i didnt like that idea. so i started looking for a frame. found a 71 long wheel base frame and went a picked it up with the plans on cutting it down to a swb. then i found a 69 short wheel base frame so i went and go it and ended up swapint the 5 lug from the 71 to the swb frame. i wanted to lower the truck and bag it but this is somthing that my grandpa doesnt know andything about and im still learning mostly from this forum. so i started looking how to get it low for little cost i came across drew715s build where he z'ed the frame and my prandpa builds z'ed frames all the time for his hotrods. so i did all the reserch and this is what i came up with. 3 in in the front and 5.5 in in the back. this is as far as i am at this point. i owe alot of thanks to people of this forum yall can do some amazing stuff and am gald that yall are willing to share it because i would not be able to do some of this stuff without the info on this forum. thanks Matt
