IMO You got one hell of a find right there! A chopped top is the "Holy Grail" of customizing options for these trucks! That things already been shaved too! Kudos to you my friend! You have my dream project! Find a junk 72 with power brakes and if it still has the 12 bolt snag it too! If I may be so bold, what did you give for it? Go ahead, run the blade right through my heart! Somebody will chime in with facts...I'd only be guessing on what bolts on and what doesn't...I rebuilt my 72 for tried and proven speed and handling...I installed 2-1/2" drop spindles with 2" drop springs up front and added an inverted mounted 1-1/4" Sway Bar. 4" drop springs out back with a 12 bolt 3:08 Posi and it drives like a Camaro! Welcome to the forum Brandon!
