Re: Not another build thread! Progress on my '67
Quote:
I've put almost 20K on the truck since I bought it in '96. That doesn't sound like a lot, but she sat during winters and the first 4 years I was in college. It also sat from '04-'06 with a blown tranny. I put over 5K on it in less than a year when I drove it my last year of college (fall '03 to spring '04) and I plan on driving the hell out of it when I get it back to Greenville (hopefully the weekend of the 11th ![]() Plus I'm also used to my Z71 ride height and I feel like I'm in a car driving the '67. So, for now, I have no plans to lower it. IF (and thats a big IF) I ever lowered it I would probably use 2" drop spindles and a 1" rear spring with 2" blocks or something like that. The sway bar is A W E S O M E!!! Like I said, I put a lot of miles on the truck without a sway bar, I've probably put about 15 miles on it since it's "been done" and I could tell a HUGE difference. The body roll is nothing like it was before. It's still an old truck and the handling isn't "great" but it's much improved. I'm thinking about a rear bar now....
