Re: 76 swb

Aaaand the grill. Supposedly it's off of a van. I'm not in love with it but it'll stay until I get other things knocked off the list. I'd like to go back to the 76 style but am not sure what all that takes to do.

You'll need a whole front end, looks like the only part that could be '76 left on that truck is the cab. Goodluck! That seat looks really nice.

Re: 76 swb

Looking through the suspension posts and reading the "make it handle" thread, I'm not finding what I need. If I'm doing a 4.5/6 drop with spindles and springs with a flip kit in the rear can I use shock extenders and keep my original shocks?

It would only be until I save more "mama don't know money" for good quality shocks. I'd like to take advantage of the Independence Day sale through POL but need to keep the truck a driver.

I think all of the sheet metal has been swapped for other years. The po didn't want to deal with rust which is ok with me, Hodgepodge C10!
