Rear Blocks on 72
Do you have to use special drop blocks on the back of a 1972 chevy or can you use normal full size truck blocks?
Thanks, Ryan |

if it's a coil truck you need to order or make your own since there is only one U-bolt per side. The U bolt runs over the axle, through the bock and the trailing-arm then bolts on the bottom. I've got a set of blocks that are a bit over 2" that i ran on my 72' with no problems...I dont need them, PM me if your interested.

I cleaned out my PM box.
Heres a pic of the blocks. How does $20 plus shipping sound? Sorry no U-Bolts. Kenny

DJM sells a block kit with the U-bolts that I think retails for around $50 for 1.5" of drop with blocks. This is the cheapest one I've found anywhere, but I went ahead and had my own made. I had a machine shop create the U-bolts and had the aluminum cut at an aluminum shop.
