That is BEAUTIFULLY SWEET !!!!! Any info on the suspension set up and tire/wheel info. I like your stance and am going for the same affect, but I don't want to use airbags. Any info is greatly appreciated !!!!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
That is drop dead gorgeous! My '72 Cheyenne will be similar, and if it is half as nice I will be pleased! I am in Kelowna once in a while (have some close friends there) and would love to see this in person. I will pm you when I am heading that way this spring or summer and see if you are available.
Are you still building trailing arms? If so I would be interested. Thanks! |
