very nice Rene... So, now that you've come over to the dark side, which do you like better, 67-72 or 60-66!?!?! (i realize that's a loaded question with no right answer - like asking mom which is her fave kid...)

Truck looks great. Still can’t get over that seat, and is that an original tilt column? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

I'd love to hear more about that tilt column as well. I want one to look as stock as possible & work with the original steering wheel. Looks like you accomplished that quite well.

Thanks guys, I think the front is still a little high (3/5 drop) but the ride is the same, I'll probably go with dropped spindles next.

I'm guessing in a previous life it probably came out of a chevy van, but don't quote me. :lol:

Naw, it didn't hurt, and I drove today for an hour in 90 degree heat,......butt I really had pack on the baby powder in the hard to reach places. (Sweaty) Come to think about it the plastic might be coming off after all. ;)
