Yes, Another newbie - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Never really looked at these trucks in the past but my friend HARDWAA bought his and the more I saw it the more I liked them, so in october I bought this 66 big window short box. I really like the look of these trucks. I have already done a 5 lug discbrake conversion on the front with a 5.5 static drop and a 4 in drop in the rear and will go another 3 when the blocks get here. Next will probably be a 700r4 and eventually a Porterbuilt crossmember and rear notch.
