Re: 68 SWB Fleetside Build
Suspension looks very cool so far! Any info on the coilovers you're using? Wheel/Tire size, brakes? How about that big block that you had mocked up? We need more info and pics !

Re: 68 SWB Fleetside Build
Dont remember what the specs on the coilovers on the front are I will have to look back in my notes on that,Rear suspension is no limit enginerings fat four bar system.I plan on running wilwood disc front and rear.Havent figured out wheel tire size yet.Big block has since been removed and smallblock installed, Just dont have the funds to build the bigblock at this time and i have alot of smallblock stuff laying around.I will be at the shop saturday and will try to get some more pics up soon.
