Re: chassis work
My guess is it would be worth the drive to look up Bob Grant @ Grant Fab in Oroville,CA. Not only is he well respected in the custom world but he is the creator of the Cal-Combo and a sheet metal GOD
 As a bonus his soft spot is 67-72 chevys having done several including the original "comcept" crew-cab dually that was floating around for a while AND a heavily modified suburban. Josh

How about Steve @ Cando Specialties? I've bought one thing from him, super great guy to deal with.

Never worked with IF but their reputation and work are top notch. Don't think you'd go wrong with either of the 3. Bob still get's my first vote though. Josh

Re: chassis work
i use to be a builder in Sacramento the only place if i were to take my truck to a place would be Larry @ innovativeairsuspension.com he is a great guy.. there arent to many really good shops around anymore.. if i were you i would look into a porter build suspension system and do it yourself its worth the money and it takes a lot of worries out of the build.. i use to have my own shop and i know a lot of the builders in the area.. the choppin block is another really good shop more towards the south area..

He also built a four link with cantilever set up for my friends truck before anyone had thought of making a kit. Top notch work, I would never hesitate to have him build something for me even though we are thousands of miles away from each other. |
