Re: Hello from Mississippi

Welcome to the forum from North MS. Like you, I'm new here also. Was a lurker for a long time, even before I bought my truck. There are some very knowledgeable people on here. Very helpful ... Sweet truck you have there.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Hello from Mississippi

Welcome Shell.

Do you have another interior shots? What seats are those? Do they feel low in the cab?

What size tires on the truck?

Seats are out of a mustang. Around a 2000 model. I had the headrest removed & covered. Had the mustang logo removed & the bow tie added. They set good & have plenty of head room. I'm 6'2. I've got less than 200 in the seats. Driver seat is electric.

Re: Hello from Mississippi

Hello from sunny Arizona.

Nice looking step side. funny things is I used to not like the look of step sides. I though fleet side was the only way to go. Started building a 68 and putting a step side on it and I have really warmed up to them. Especially looking at a sweet step side like yours.
Nice truck.

Re: Hello from Mississippi

Yeah I know what you mean on the step side. I use to think the same. I had a 69 step in 78 but it was a long bed with the spare tire in the fender. I didn't have it long at all. Thanks for the nice comment on my truck.

Re: Hello from Mississippi

Engine is a 406ci with Ededbrock RPM performer heads. 1000 CFM Gary Willams carb. AFR Titan TXR intake. Little over 500 lift on the cam. Complete MSD ignition. Complete March serpentine belt system. Vintage A/C. Hooker super comp headers. Tranny is a built TH 400 with 410 gears in the rear. Changing them to 356 soon. I've got nitrous installed but not finished. Planning on 150 shot. I'm not trying to make a drag truck just something to play with. Need for speed!!
