Re: The Blue Goose

Thanks!

I dont really have the extra money for a 2" drop block kit, but I have enough thread on the U bolts for a 1" drop block, but debating if 1" will really make that much difference for the trouble it will take.

Something like 2-3 inches would be perfect, but I dont wanna sacrifice towing/hauling abilities.

If money allowed id do a dropped spindle and 4" spring. For time being I'll keep saving for a drop blocks/u bolts (Around 70). And be on the lookout for some metal to make a block(s) out of.

Ha, I welded the gas hole up, then went back to in cab tank, i think its kinda cool. I wished I could find a halfway decent cab to work on in spare time (mines too far gone I think, windshield, floors/supports, and cowl is all rotten).

Re: The Blue Goose

I know what you mean about extra money, sometimes seems like theres no such thing. and no need to spend much time on a cab thats not worth saving, but it's lookin good anyway. keep it up! I like the name change too.
