Any 73-80 with MILD Dropmembers?

Looking for some pics of 73-80 trucks with the mild dropmembers. Ideally, with 20" wheels. A pic aired out and another at ride height would be perfect. How long have they been taking to install? I will be taking my DD apart once I have EVERYTHING for the front in hand and hoping to knock it out over a weekend. Is this too optimistic?

I don't have any pictures of the Mild on a square body, unfortunately. You might be able to install the front on a long weekend, or 2 long days. Just take your time going through everything and the necessary steps. It is easiest to pull the engine when installing.

Getting it done in a weekend? Id say yes if everything goes well and you don't plan on painting anything while you are there. I have ran into problems (stripped bolts, wornout parts, wrong parts from the store, etc) with every front suspension I have worked on.

Do you have a back up DD? If not I would start Friday night that way you have an extra half day to fix whatever you find.
