Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Thanks for the info! Do you have any pics at ride height? Also did you use a lower bag plate on top of the 2 link bar?

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
I will have to get some ride height pics. It's just slightly lower than it was with the static drop. I just bolted the bags thru the link bars the way Ekstensive does with their kit. I did not add a plate, I've never known anyone to have issues with their kit so I didn't mess with their design.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Love the truck Justin! You should consider shaving the bumper bolts....

Thanks!

The bumpers are the original bumpers & are straight but could use some new chrome & I'd probably shave them at that point & then suck the bumpers in a little too. |

I'm pleased with the stance. Its not the lowest but I think the stance fits the style of the truck. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
That's what I'm leaning towards too. Had I don't it before I lined my bed I would've raised the floor or cut it. I understand your reasoning though. Isn't yours now a 2nd owner ✌?

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Hadn't posted here lately... been busy with the construction of my new shop but I did get the truck out Saturday & drove up to show in Kansas about 75 miles away... here are some pics from that.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Here is something I did over the weekend that i'd been talking about testing out the idea for a while... Making the door handle insert black to match the trim....

Vinyl
I thought it was an easy to remove option to test the look with. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
I had the truck out wiping it down yesterday & the overcast was great for some pictures so I took a bunch of updated pics & thought I'd share....
