Mr. Magoo's blue 72 got a face lift

Backed my old 72 out the shop today after its lenghty up-grade.I replaced my core support, put in a new 4 row aluminum radiator and mounting hardware. While I had it down I put in new body mounts with 2" lift blocks to make sure I had ample room for my new 31x10.5x15 Dextros.

Re: Mr. Magoo's blue 72 got a face lift

How hard was the core support to install?

Like the lifted look,

I would love to put a long travel arm kit on my c-20 2wd , just because most of these truck are slammed. But unfortunately i dont think that will happen unless its a custom made kit , and well im not budgeted for that.

Re: Mr. Magoo's blue 72 got a face lift

I got the truck out today and drove it to work. Its all good except I got a vibration @ 50 mph. I dont know if I got a wheel out of balance or what? I am happy with my lift other than that. The tires are 31x10.5x15. The core support was not too bad installing. I runs alot cooler w my 4 row aluminum radiator. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I didnt get alot of good responsives when I was asking opions about a body lift. The one thing I didnt like was NONE of the bolts in the kit were correct. the bumpers were a challenge to raise to match the body,but it all worked out. thanks again..Mr.Magoo
