Re: New owner
Welcome to the site and congrats on your new truck. As mentioned, we need to see pics of your truck. I am sure all the info you'll need for your build is on here and if not someone here will be more then happy to help you.

Re: New owner
Glad to see there may be some local help around Omaha. I have to go get the truck yet so I will post pics when I get it. I know my grandfather had recently redid the intierier and the moter was rebuilt 200 miles ago. The first things i am thinking of doing is lower it and getting some new wheels on it. What lug size are on these truck???

Re: New owner
I think the 72's have a five-lug pattern (5 x 5" bolt circle)

Re: New owner
Thanks....I live in the lake cunningham area north of I-680. Hopefully it starts warming up around here and the snow melts so I can get some work done on it. What is the best way to lower these trucks with not spending a ton of money???

Re: New owner
That is correct
You can do spindles up front and springs in the back for under $400
