Looks great!! I'd drop that bad boy just a little and lose the eyebrows (JMO) and it would be perfect! Love the white side out BFG's!

It is going to get a 1" front drop and 2" rear drop, the eyebrows, I haven't made up my mind on them yet... but thanks! :D

That will look good. My '69 had about the same stance, and that's how much mine actually dropped with springs. Well, it actually dropped 1.5" in the front and about 2.5" in the rear. Here is a before and after shot for comparison. BTW, you can see why I'm bias towards the BFG's;)

just found this build, nice truck and great history. I like all the front trim, that's what mine has.

The trim around the grill openings is GM but its from the 80s so it has been replaced... but yes most is aftermarket... truck didn't have too much to salvage
