truck is lowered with Early Classic Enterprises spindles, springs and shocks. The rear is dropped using ECE springs, relocated shock mounts, and a fully adjustable pan hardbar. Chevrolet 454ci mostly stock right now... .040 over Edelbrock Performer RPM dual-plane manifold Holley 650 (a new barry grant demon 750 is on the way) CompCams 280 Hydraulic Grind cam K&N filter Sanderson headers to 2.5" exhaust with Flowmasters 4-core radiator '72 power disc brakes Last edited by tavenner13; 03-29-2007 at 12:29 PM. |

Re: Hello from Tyler, Texas... or should I say, "Howdy, dammit!"
Not too far about 4-5 hours away but I have a prior commitment with another board member on here first. Depending on how quick it gets done I will let you know if still interested.

Re: Hello from Tyler, Texas... or should I say, "Howdy, dammit!"
Man you have a very nice truck to start with there.
Do you know how much drop that is or what ECE kit that is in front/back? DLB |

A panhard bar did not come, nor is it necessary, on a leaf spring truck. The leafs keep the rear end in line. Chances are your truck has a coil spring rear, not leafs That's definately an awesome start for a project truck.

Mine already turned loose but I'll help if I can. Lets start with the carb, it's a Barry Grant. Billy's his brother, he owns a hair salon.

Re: Hello from Tyler, Texas... or should I say, "Howdy!"
Yup, that's a coil spring truck
That's a relocation kit for the lowered suspension, here's what a stocker looks like (it bolts to the rear end itself)
