Re: 1971 Short Wide
Ya, 1971 with 1968 tins. The previous owner made these mods. I'm ok with it, way better looking year in my book! Thanks again!! Going to get new tires soon, going with 255/70/15's . Then lowering just a bit, maybe 3" in the rear only. We'll see how the new tires fill the wells.

Re: 1971 Short Wide
Thanks all! Yep I'm keepin the caps, but also when I get the right height after the new tires I was thinking of going with some chrome torque thrust to fit maybe 18's. so a couple of different looks?

Re: 1971 Short Wide
Here's a shot from the side, it's got a little rake. I think maybe 2" drops in the rear only should level it out?

Re: 1971 Short Wide
I like it a lot! 2" drop in the rear should level it out just right.

Re: 1971 Short Wide
Great looking truck man. The only thing I'd do is lower it 2" front and 4" rear. Can we get some more pics and details.
