9 Months of work...
Hi all,
I've been on the board for about a year now and Just got my ride on the road. I wanted to thank all of you for the posting and information, it has been a huge help... Here are some photos of my '72 SWB. Thanks, -Fred "The Great State of Florida" |

Lowered using 2.5" drop spindles and 1" drop springs in front 5" drop springs in rear. I was going for the "raked" look. The big block helped push the front down another 1/2". |

Re: 9 Months of work...
What shade of blue did you go with? It looks good whatever it is. Did you use any aftermarket sheetmetal?

Re: 9 Months of work...
That looks fantastic. Nice houndstooth seat. Is it black or did you go with the blue and black?

Re: 9 Months of work...
Very nice, It inspires me to put 15" ralley's on the 71 GMC I'm building. I would like 16's or 17's, but those ralley's look good with the drop and way cheaper than the larger diameters. I hope to have the same look. What are the tire sizes?

Re: 9 Months of work...
Thanks for the comments,
The seatbelts are from a company roddoors.com, they have the aviation type buckle, the wheels are factory 15x8 with 255/70-15, the paint color is '69 Pontiac Le Mans Blue. I bought the seat cover off of Ebay black and white hounds tooth, a steal at $95 + new foam  LMC is where they came from originally.I just got back a set of Sanderson headers/manifolds from Jet Hot today and am hoping to install them on Thursday, Yee-Haw. Will post pics of engine bay once that is done. This thing is a blast. -Fred |

Nice ride. Good, clean look and I'm definitely a fan of the color as well. The things I would do to have a big block in my truck...
