Front suspension should be all installed tomorrow and we will check out the ride height. Can't wait to see her stance.

Re: Tuff Pumpkin Build Thread 72 SWB
looking great I really like the seats I was planning on doing the same ones thanks for confirming that option for me. I think its going to be time for my 11 silverado to have an accident so I can take the 6.2, trans and seats out of it for my 70.

Re: Tuff Pumpkin Build Thread 72 SWB
My buddy did a little work on my truck while out in Cali trying to pay the bills. Got the carpet and seats installed. They look awesome. Can't wait to sit in them.
Custom door panels, head liner, and dash pad will be installed after she's on the road.

I'm usually not a fan of late model seats in older trucks but man those good in there. Great work!

Thanks. I was a little hesitant at first but had a local guy that does amazing work. They turned out perfect.

Re: Tuff Pumpkin Build Thread 72 SWB
See welds are pretty sweet. Almost a shame but think we are going to powder coat it. If someone is building a rat rod you should look into clear powder coat on these.

The fronts are actually being remade. Couple small issues with them that needed changed.
