Bought sight unseen '72
Hey everyone. I have been lurking here for a few weeks now and the wealth of info and knowledge on here is astounding. I bought a 1972 LWB w/ a 350/350 combo and the factory rear end. The motor has a few goodies on it like ported heads, Weiand stealth intake, Holley 650, longtube headers, and a lopey cam. Tranny is a recent Jegs TH350 unit. Has new driveshaft and all u-joints are fresh along w/ a fresh front-end. Looking to do a 4/6 ECE drop w/ their bag kit in back as I regularly haul lake toys. Haven't had a chance to drive it unfortunately as I am currently deployed. Wasn't really planning on buying a truck while I was gone, but it was one of those too good to pass up deals. Looking forward to busting knuckles on it ASAP when I get back.

Re: Bought sight unseen '72
Thanks a ton guys. Duly noted on the fuel line. Anyone have experience w/ the ECE rear bag kit. Looks like rave reviews on the 2.5'' spindle/ 1.5'' coil setup, but not much feedback on the bags. Again not looking to flip switches. Just ride level w/ a 500lb jetski in the back and a 3,500lb boat w/ approx. 150lbs of tongue weight. Thanks again.
