Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
A buddy of mine has those seats in a 69 pre-runner truck. Very comfortable. Btw... I have the Inline tube kit in my 2wd and as I remember, the long rear line in mine was the correct length. go figure.

Good work so Far. Nice garage. Wish I had that kind of workspace. And a lift would help a lot too.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Thanks for all the kind words it's a slow process I haven't been able to work on it a whole lot lately. Work is too busy but at least it gives me money to buy a air management system. Did manage to get the frame all cut for the c-notch

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
I am, I just used the lower to support the frame while I was cutting the other side. I am pulling the body off now so I can get the upper holes drilled.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
With a gas tank on you'd be scraping it on the ground. Any plans to tuck the gas tank any deeper under the truck? Looks good by the way.

Thanks for the kind words! It's coming along slowly. No work/life balance gets in the way.
