Thanks Josh. The paint isn't as good as the picture shows. It will most likely need to be done in a couple of years. At that point, I will do some sheet metal repairs too.

Bennetth, Awesome truck! In fact, if you had 15x10 rims (at least on the rear), bumpers and wrbenson blue, you would have my dream truck ;-)

Wrbenson, what shade of blue is that? It looks very similar to Presidential or "Patriot" blue, but it's the exact shade that I'll be painting our '72. Super Sharp!!

Thank you! I bought it local, rough cut. It's Lacewood, a Brazilian hardwood. Machined and finished it myself. Me and a buddy made the wheeltubs out of 16 guage polished stainless also. There's alot of work in the bed.

Thanks for the compliment! I just finished a 3/5 drop today and will be thinking about 2" spindles next.

The drop looks awesome! If you go with a 2" spindle, will you leave the rake or drop the rear a bit more?
And if you find a 2" spindle and it turns out to be actually 2", please let me know where ya found it. All I've come across are 2.5" spindles.
It seems as though CPP advertised a 2", but after talking to a tech, they said the actual drop was 2.5.
Again, looks great as she sits. Keep us updated

I've seen Snook's 'Mint 68' in person and it is fantastic!

Here is mine. Was my grandpas then my dad's now mine. Motor is out now getting freshened up. Got new springs and spindles for the front and drop leafs for the rear. Then on to the other long list of stuff.

[kevmar96]

Don't know why pic is sideways. Will try to fix.

Thanks. I would plant to drop the rear an inch or so, but I think 5" in the front may be to much for all of my daily driving on these country roads around here. I drive the truck everyday so I may just leave it for now and do bags eventually. Thanks for the compliments.

I took this one this morning

Thanks Reno! Hope I get to see Rose sometime soon! She's looking pretty good! Are you going to bring her to the Streetrod Nats this year??
