RE : shock absorbers ~
Bilstein HD's top any of the usual Hot Rod brands plus they last even when worked hard .
If you go the KYB route , be aware the silver colored gas KYB's are crap , low quality shyte to sell cheaply , only the white KYB's are any good .
Lotsa nice works here as usual ~ I always enjoy reading what you alls are up to

.
I visited my truck in the Paint Jail , as usual , they screwed up something else and tried to blame me , I dropped off my
7th hub cap and he said ' O.K. now i finally have a full set of 5 right ? ' .
Only if his employees are stealing them....
They managed to ' loose ' the original door mirror screws , last time I was there he said (as usual) ' no problem , I have them safely cleaned and ready for paining ' ~ when I went by Thursday I noticed crappo Chinese stainless steel allen headed screws and asked him ' oh , yours were no good and broke coming out ' .
I see he has several 1950's & 1960's vintage GM trucks in there , I surely hope my hard won , unobtanium hardware isn't being re directed ~
I spent the last FIVE YEARS chasing down hardware , every bit of it original and un damaged , he wants to use all new and I don't .
Wait'll you alls see the paint , it's wonderful .
