Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Still whittling down the list...

Got the driveshaft shortened down and coupled up with a t400 yoke end of the week, haven't dropped it in yet though.
My boy swapped out the tired old springs for some CPP HD 4" drop versions, but we don't like them...dropped it more than we want and they're softer than we need.
We're going to need to play with some different springs to get what we want...got a set of Moog 3/4T, progressive rate, HD springs coming in to try. We want it a little ass high with capacity to handle a half dozen people, its on the bump stops under a couple hundred lbs with the "HD" CPP springs.

Finished up a battery mount this morning...bought and returned two different mounts before deciding it was going to be easier (and cheaper) to just make our own
