Here is my 49 5 window, completed about 12 years ago as a daily driver. Engine is a 1962 235, both manifolds split, intake heated,and a few other goodies. 700R4 and 1:3:55 rear end. Considering some changes, so it's great seeing here what others have done... Thanks!

Well, what you see right now is about 90% of how I found the truck. There was a little more white primer on some sections which I sanded down...

wiggins · 06-19-2011, 06:19 PM

I just meant that thay get a lot more rusty around here. Lots of holes! lol

Yezzi · 06-23-2011, 09:24 AM

Sick truck Yezzi!!!! Tell us more about it. How's it dropped? What engine?

Congrats...

**Dan in Pasadena** · 06-30-2011, 11:04 PM

Whew, niiice 56. Yes, I'd really like to know how its lowered ESPECIALLY if its a static drop.

ratty 46 · 06-30-2011, 11:17 PM

Very sparky ... nice ride.

Yezzi · 06-30-2011, 11:20 PM

Thanks guys
It looks like they just flipped the leaf spring upside down in the rear and repaced the front cross bar with the after market one with a 2" drop. I still haven't had time to go through the truck. It's at The Interior Shop on Cave Creek road getting seat done in black leather and black Mercedes carpeting. I can't wait to get it back next week.

Uh....huuuh. Do you mean they put the rear leaf spring pack UNDER the axless? And in the front, when you say "cross bar" you mean a 2" dropped axle, right?

Any chance I could ask you to post some suspension photos?

Yezzi · 07-01-2011, 02:28 PM

no the leaf spring are still on top just flipped over

wiggins · 07-01-2011, 03:56 PM
