Re: 72 Jimmy build
New shocks are here. Should be a big improvement over the Rancho 5000 that didn't move when I unbolted them...

Re: 72 Jimmy build
I'd be interested in the part numbers and website, don't think that's against the rules. Do they make them for a 2" lift? Thanks

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Ordered Dorman exhaust manifolds for a corvette as suggested here on the site. Also want to order HEI, plugs and wires as a kit. Does anyone know if the proper kit exists or who sells it. 350 V8.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Did you ever find out if they actually did make Bilsteins for a stock K5?

Re: 72 Jimmy build
You can get pre-made wires for either type distributor that run underneath the manifolds. Easy way is to order for a Corvette. '73 for points type distributor cap or '75 for an HEI style cap. I like the Taylor premade ones, but I put MSD street wires on my '69 short step.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Got the 800 lb electric hoist from Harbor Freight at black Friday sale and installed it today. Works like a charm so far.

Here's a view from the inside using 1/4" flat bar as backing plates for the eye bolts.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Bigger tires, bigger stereo? Lol. More importantly, I want to know how it rides with those beautiful new shocks?

Re: 72 Jimmy build
I rides much better than it did with the busted ranchos. But let's be honest, a 72 Jimmy on 37 Boggers isn't air suspension LTZ. Biggest change I saw was putting the new steering gear box. Handles well. Drive with one hand doing 60 mph

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Finished product. Been at Cruisin' The Coast all week. This is like classic car heaven. If you have never been, you need to make it a bucket list item.
