day trip in my 71

Took a trip to NC to see my parents yesterday.


Put $75.50 worth of gas in it and only got 3/4 of tank of gas.
Drove up there and back on less than a 1/2 tank running the ac the whole way. Truck did great. Spent the afternoon with my folks just talking.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Didn't get to see them for Mother's day or Father's day so I took off to see them. Had a good trip. Had some good BBQ with them and just sat and talked.
