Hope it isn't too bad...by the sounds of it you can fix it. Can't wait to see the truck with paint...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-04-2003, 07:52 PM

Gonna look great with some paint on it..

DavidM · 11-04-2003, 08:02 PM

Chrome front bumper rear bumper light buckers and rings

Not sure about the door handles tho....

also looking into all graphite grey suede for the inside
Royal metalic blue with all grey in side will look sweet!!!!!!

What springs did you use? I'm building a 68 and your truck sits nice,not to out of control on the lowered thing.

DavidM · 11-04-2003, 08:17 PM

I have 2 and 1/4 inch drop spindles on the front and 4 inch drop springs on the back

I really looked around and asked alot of people that have our years of trucks around where I lived causei wanted a good ride and not to much bounce....

Got them from this great little company in Fresno Ca.

Perfect fit and no problems to put on...

I also purchased my Disc Brakes threw them and had perfect fits on everything...

Man, must be a great feeling to know that it will be getting paint in a few days. I still have that hole in the of my stomach knowing that I'm a couple of years away from that point.
