Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Interesting headlight conversion

Those headlights would look fantastic on say a 90's model truck!

Re: Interesting headlight conversion

the whole idea is the great look of the 67-72 pickup.You change the look and you have just another truck. Guess it's in the eye of the beholder/fabricator. IMO looks not so good.

Re: Interesting headlight conversion

I agree, Redline. To me, these trucks looked perfect from the factory. No need to modify.

Re: Interesting headlight conversion

Those headlights and some 22 inch rims and you'd have the perfect Hot Wheels truck.

Re: Interesting headlight conversion

Well like most of you I prefer the stock sheet metal, but I also prefer sticking with some sort of 15 inch rim.

From the picture though it looks like he did a really nice job of making the lights fit. Wonder why he is selling it now?

That looks terrible. It would ruin the whole truck.
