Hi, I'm new here. Just bought a one owner 71 GMC swb. I how a few questions. How do you get the GMC emblems off of the hood and tailgate? I just put on some 18's wheels and was wondering what is the best way to lower the truck and how much? thanks

Welcome to the Board from Sacramento.

Check with any of the vendors that are board members. They have all the parts you need. You will need to know if you have a coil or leaf spring rear suspension.

Welcome from sunny Seattle...we sent our rain to CA and TX this year...LOL! Spindles, springs and/or rear flip kit if it is the typical GMC leaf spring rear. How about some pics????

Stllookn, it is a leaf spring rear. What is a rear flip kit, and where can you get it?

When you lift your hood look directly behind your emblems and you will see the bolts. I had my leaf springs de arched at a spring shop cost 200.00 but it was well worth it.
