Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
It has a perfect Stance. Looked much lower from the frame pic. Low but not so low you grind the frame on speed bumps. But then drop to ground to park. Cool.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Thanks, yes it will go down another 2-3". I need to put some smaller tires in the front. These pics are with 40psi in the front and 20 in the rear.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Truck is looking awesome! I have been seriously considering bagging my 72,2wd. And you are just helping make the decision easier.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
No recent progress, just been cruising it and ordering parts. Even at the much lower ride height the bags ride better than the old springs. There is a sweet spot though. If I ride around with it too low, it develops a vibration. I'm guessing shaft angle.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Often, then they are usually raising the bed floor at that point. Some of the aftermarket tanks(boyds welding,vaporworx, etc) have a chamfer to allow extra clearance, but they can be raised to the top of the frame rail if going silly low

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Drove by a junkyard yesterday and they had just brought in a 68 camper special. Pulled the grill out of it and had it in my blaze within a hour. I have been taking it to shows when I can. The response it gets is great. This winter I'm going to patch the drivers quarter, and try to color match the rest of the patina. If I have money/time I'll get a air system for it.

Re: Granny smith, 71 2wd build
Driveshaft angles are probably just as fun dropped as it Is on a lifted truck. Just watch the slipshaft isn't bottoming out. That can kill the tait shaft on the trans.
