My 71 Project...take a look..
Been working on her for almost a year. Replaced all the panels that were rusted through, repainted and distressed. Re-did the door art. Put on new front/rear bumpers(had farm bumper), new 67 mirrors, new door handles, added some spike nuts to the bumpers and made some spiked lug nuts to go with my theme. Just completed the front 5 1/2 drop with all new suspension parts and the rear 5 in drop and added 1" drop blocks to get a little lower, and the rest of the ECE kit. Stuck on my Chrome 15" steelies, 6"front and 10" rear with my MT Sportsman S/R radials.
Suspension is done, unless I go a little lower in front. Interior is 80%(pics later). Engine is a top end built 350, but being pulled next week to begin 383 stroker build. Anyway, I enjoy the site and just wanted to share some pics while I am able to drive her. Thanks |

Re: My 71 Project...take a look..
Nice looking rig, where did you get your chrome bullet caps for the wheel centers? I'm looking for some but the ones I've found in the past just seem too big, yours look just right.

Good to know, I'll check it out. I wish someone made spider caps that fit our trucks big wheel bearing hats.
