Purchased a 74 2wd K5! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well ppl I must say I've been wanting one of these for like 14 years now when I seen my first one and when I clued in the old pops he was relentless of searching for the right one. It had to be a 74 and definitely 2wd lowered. Now here comes the work. Looking at Bell Tech 3" spindles, 1" springs with a coil cut and rear 6" flip kit. On top of that tires for the rallies for the time being. What would be a ballpark price I can expect to pay for the install? I've been using this sight for years to find lots of helpful information and get inspired with ideas. Now I had to join after the purchase.

With doing spindles and springs in front and flip kit and bolt in notch in the rear and shocks all the way around $600-$700 labor would be about right.

Hmmm wasn't thinking about shocks or a notch yet. So do you think I could get the parts and labor for under 1K?
