Being out of the game for along time now, this is a great way to keep my hands busy, so here is my 73 short box gmc project, going flat matte, drop spindles and notch, and hopefully ALOT of big block under the nose.....100 % rust free cab and bed......I used to own an 84 short bed back in the day, and before that a 1960 short bed step side thriftmaster that was crashed by my "EX" wife....wonder why shes an ex?....lmao, anyhow heres a pic or two from a couple of weeks ago with the frame painted for now and cowl of cab and front remounted.....and tips or tricks shoot em my way! thanks for a great site...

I used the LMC spindle lowering kit with rear spring hangers and shackles. I also went ahead and re-did new ball joints, and all bushings etc... It rides pretty sweeet!
