Finally got the 67 lowered!
Came home from work tonight to find a nice surprise sitting in my front yard! My truck is finally back, front end rebuilt and lowering springs put in the front. The drop is a 3/4 static drop, I love the subtle rake that's still there, gives the truck a menacing look.
Next up is to put in my new engine, pull the current one and build it as a low compression turbo powered inline six. I'm planning on taking a turbo from an older Buick and using it on this application. So hold on to your britches because it's about to get crazy! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Finally got the 67 lowered!
I'll post some up once I get it and I'll try to remember to PM you so you can follow the build once I start.
Thanks for the compliments! ![]() ![]()

Re: Finally got the 67 lowered!
Finally got to take it for a spin, it rides great and looks pretty menacing driving down the road.

Re: Finally got the 67 lowered!
Wheels are 15" x 8" tires are 215/70/15's and I'm unsure on the backspacing.
