Re: I finally got one!!!!!

Your patina truck looks better than my patina truck. But I'm keeping it like that. I'm fixing the stance and nice set of tires/rims and calling it a day.

I don't know if I'd call it patina, more like some jacka$$ with a da and a slide hammer!

Got some pressure washing done last night. Apparently grease turns into asphalt over the period of 46 years!

Re: I finally got one!!!!!

Progress has been slow on the truck. I've been finishing my 99 Z28 to sell and fund the truck. Ordered a new radiator support and all the body bushing, and the support came in bent all to hell. Damn UPS!

Re: I finally got one!!!!!

I don't see any drop spindles in that kit, do you plan to bag it?
If you aren't going to bag it then I recommend CPP modular drop spindles because they bring the wheels in 3/4" to allow you more clearance for 20"+ wheels.
They can put together a custom kit that will eliminate unnecessary parts that you won't use.
