Nice build! Love the truck! Couple ?'s

What're the specs on the drop (how much)

And what kind of marker lights are those (flush?)

72BlckButy · 12-15-2010, 11:06 PM

It's good to hear from you.

Regardless of life's unexpected changes, home is where the family is.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

VA72C10 · 12-15-2010, 11:28 PM

Drop is 2.5" drop spindles and one turn cut out of the spring up front and I think 6" drop spring in the back.

The lenses can be found on any late model Chevy or GM van in a junk yard. They screw right on and give the truck a much smoother look.

Chevy Vandura's is what I pull them off of. 80's to 90's models. Take some torx head bits for a screw driver. I have had to walk back to my truck a few times because I thought they had phillips screws.

Ya real good guys and usually they have everything I needed. If you buy some of their pre packaged bolt sets you may get a few nuts or bolts that are the wrong size but they always took care of any issues.

Chuck, Sorry I didnt make it by to see you before I left. Ill drop in next time i'm in town.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, What happened to you? j/k I look forward to seeing some progress on it. I have been preoccupied with other stuff and haven't gotten to do anything on mine. Gimme a call when your in town.

brn agn · 12-19-2010, 07:55 PM

Your truck looks good...the Triumph is easy on the eyes too!

Southern C10 · 04-30-2011, 08:38 PM

Well we have been in North Carolina since November of last year and this is the first time I have gotten the truck out of the garage. I got the fleetside bedsides on back in Tennessee but never got a picture of them before we moved. You can look at the garage and tell its the last place in the house to get any attention.

Good news is im getting a few days off work so I get to get the
"MAN-nasium" all cleaned up and working.

68 TT · 06-06-2012, 05:08 AM

Love the truck.

Same tires and tire size I have on mine. I hope to get mine to about the same ride height you have, it is just right with the tire sizes.

Any progress?

gcburdic · 06-06-2012, 12:30 PM

Bummer she is forsale..

Southern C10 · 08-18-2012, 08:18 PM

Guys, decided (again) not to sell. I have these moments every once in awhile. Driving down the road at dusk listening to Old Crow Mediciene Show snapped me out of my crazy spell.

Glad no one jumped on it.

Tinkermc · 08-19-2012, 05:32 PM

glad your going to keep her now lets get busy!!!
