Nice Porterbuilt order you have there, you stated in your first post you were going with the Touring/Mild kits from porterbuilt. I'm assuming you went with the Touring front dropmember and the Mild rear dropmember, correct. If so I can't wait to see how this looks cause I plan on running the same on mine someday when I have the funds for it. I really like the metal work your doing and the attention to detail. Looks great.

Nice, I ordered the mild rear a couple weeks ago and now I am really contemplating ordering the touring front. I'm hoping maybe it would give it a little more rake when aired out over the mild/mild combo. Are there any particular reasons why you chose the touring over the mild dropmember.

Not really .....I kinda went back a forth with Dave and decided this was the way I wanted to go .... I do like the idea of not having to notch the frame in front, can run a 1 piece drive shaft 4L60E ...LS2 combo, without adding a high hump trans tunnel.....and still achieve a ride height of 5" at the front cab mount....

Good luck on the sale,...
I would list it in the 67-72 Classified Section.
No one will find it there in the "Everything Else" Section.

Man the cab you started with looks great, was it mostly rust free? I looks real good in the pictures.

In the 4th picture in post #2, Where did you get this firewall piece or did you fab it up?

Tuning in fore the rest of this build!

The firewall was a hand fab piece from direct sheet metal in El Cajon CA. It comes with the toe boards and ac delete panel you have to trim and install.
