Re: Like I needed another one of these things....

Yeah, Boog - they are 2.5 drop spindles but unfortunately the 1" rotor version so I had to convert the whole friggin thing to 5 lug and ditch my sweet western turbines. GRRR!

I can tell you that the gopher mounds in the pasture out here are tagging the lower A-Arms and making a big mess in under the hood without fenderwells. Any lower and it wouldn't even make it out to the road. #trapped

If you haven't already you should check out Dieselarmy13's build thread. His 72 GMC started out looking much like yours. He also has a leaf spring rear.
