Started installing the drop kit .
Last night I installed the rear leaf springs on the tan 78 . I hope to get time this week or weekend to finish with the front spindles . I will post some pics but figured I would show how the fender sits over the rear tires now . This pic was last night and I swear that it settled a little because it looked lower tonight . Just in case someone is looking for a very nice set of Rallys and tires , I listed mine in the 67-72 parts section since they get many more views . Frank

Re: Started installing the drop kit .
what are the backspacing specs on your rear wheels and how much drop are you getting out of the back?

Re: Started installing the drop kit .
Frank, before I leave for Afghanistan this summer, we need to meet up with our trucks. Hell, I'll even drive out to you. I know you aren't that far from me...

Re: Started installing the drop kit .
Nope, is it in Killeen? Your profile says you're from New England!

Re: Started installing the drop kit .
The rear wheels are 18x10 with 5.25 inches of backspace . As far as how much drop , I didnt measure but there are pics now so you can get a visual idea . Frank

Re: Started installing the drop kit .
That is a beautiful truck. I think you have the perfect balance of hotrod and daily driver. That is exactly what I want to do with mine. That truck sits right, wheels look great. That is just gorgeous.
