damn these are nice, whats the suspension info on both of these?

70RedBlurr · 11-24-2009, 02:36 AM

Kev2809, My suspension is cupped lower control arms, swap to disc brakes from a '76 truck, RE-6's, top plates, and finished the front off with DJM three inch lowering spindles. The rear is a Air Ride Tech. triangulated four link, FBI notch, and RE-7's.

Here's a pic of the rear. kinda hard to see but all I have on my laptop.

jrods70 · 11-24-2009, 03:21 AM

i have stock trailing arms in back with sleeve bag with watts link, front is 3 inch drop spindles cut lca 2inch zed frame and 1inch section crossmember with slam re7 and notched the uca to clear steering shaft

wow nice truck... wat suspension parts did u use//

texastrendz · 05-17-2010, 07:16 PM

man that is 3000 psi steel braided hydraulic hose, it will cut through the metal before the metal cuts the hose. i will never have a failure with this setup. all my trucks i do i use hydraulic hose. and no leaks either. lol. it is expensive to use. but i like the insurance of it.

chevydog66 · 11-23-2009, 10:40 PM

Here's my 72 GMC, it's not laid out but it's a long bed. It's as low as I can go without choppin stuff up.

Ghostwhite · 05-16-2010, 10:07 AM

more...... plz? :-)

texastrendz · 05-16-2010, 02:58 PM

mine before i hung it up on a man hole.

NZSquare · 05-16-2010, 04:58 PM

Love the pics, especially the red one, I saw a pic of it on here last year and it was just the kick in the backside I needed to get moving on mine. Super clean.

Heres mine, again not quite laid out, its sitting on bumpstops though. Its about to get 20" steelies and a chopped front crossmember, so then she'll be down good and hard.

The whitewalls are painted on, the back one looks humped as I had the exhaust dumping in front of it.

I got bored this weekend,so i painted my truck...... i still need to do the body work.. I need to get some white walls, I like the way your trucks looks..

NZSquare · 05-19-2010, 04:36 PM

Well Dang I like that one, for obvious reasons, like brothers from other mothers.

I had looked at getting real deal whitewalls but they are just too pricey only to kerb one and ruin it. The whitewall paint seems to be ok, its a rubber based emulsion that etches into the tyre once you remove the outer skin (not a whole layer of rubber) from the tyre, we have a guy locally that does it for 20 bucks a tyre.
