How to Ruin a low mile 1972

[Slammed66]

Im here to tell you my tale.

Ill be the first to tell you I HAVE A DISEASE............ it dosnt have a name , But it involves old chevy trucks.

Im currently building a 1964 short step pickup. Its got LS power and rolls on A frame littered with Porterbuilt parts. Dropmember ,4 link etc.

So ive been thrashing away trying to get the truck mobile for the biggest show around that rolls thru town every three year. I tried HARD, but cutting corners and doing things twice was really the way to do it. Just for a car show.. But the itch to cruise hungered......

thinking Hey , I could find a truck lower it a little and cruise it and use up some spare parts!!
I remembered the my freindly local 67-72 Parts supplier and old chevy truck hoarder had a little green long box that might fit the bill so I went out and had a look.

What I found was a 1972 long fleet.
250 inline and 4 speed. a fairly nice and straight body, a great interior and get this 25,828 Original miles.

The desicion was made to buy it. I left for work ( out of town ) and came back leaving myself only 3 days until the cruise.

I ordered a few things while I was gone to work , I quickly dove in deeper than I had planned , without even owning the truck yet.

The parts list for my little three day thrash goes like this
one set of Matte finish coy C-5`s
20x8 5.25 backspacing with 255/40/20's
22x9 5.5 backspacing with 285/35/22's Bought for my 64 but the 22's were toooooo big for the stepside box to lay out.

2- Re7 slam spec bags
2- Re6 slam spec bags
Beltech 3120 3" drop spindles
Acuuair switch speed exo mount , tanks and pair of viair 400c's

I have a cpp bolt in notch to go in but didnt have time. I did just pic this thing up tuesday night lol.

Ill be adding shock relocaters front and rear the notch and an adjustable track bar.

the worst part was tuesday right after I got it home , the nasty tube bumper HAD to go!!! Unfortunatly it was welded on VERY WELL... AND they hacked off the frame horns,So The guy I bought it from had a spare set allready cut off!

BLah Blah Blah time for pics!!!
