Re: lay rocker?
Since money isn't an issue. PM member Porterbuilt. Look at this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=312926.
Bolt on front and rear kit, rack and pinion steering, ART tubular arms. Read as much as you can in the suspension section. .

Re: lay rocker?
Welcome to the forum...I live in Midlothian and used to live in Matoaca 10 minutes from Southpark Mall. If you check out Porterbilt's stuff you'll be laying rocker in no time....I'd love to see it as it sits now...>I have a 69 short and a 70 long both fleets....
