I gotta renew my subscription - I think I saw that ol truck at the grand Nat'l roadster show one year (in the outside "cool" non-roadster lot, of course)!

Motor looks great.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I used this one:






Bought it from Summit Racing


http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri-8-00013-ls



I used the lower radiator from my previous radiator and bent a coat hanger and took it to the local auto parts and matched it up to what I needed.

Wink Re: LS Engine bay pics

I used my old one. Had dual Camaro fans installed and did away with the clutch fan.
I maybe swapping it over to the Summit one though. Mine is leaking a little.

Re: LS Engine bay pics

I thought it looked easy too, and i had a lot of "while im in there" moments. 2 years later I am "only" a few months from having a truck again. Moral of the story, have a solid plan and get your parts ready before you tear it down, if you stay motivated it can be a reasonably quick job.

Re: LS Engine bay pics

Hey LEES68GMC,

Can you share any specifics on that orange 71/72? Drop, wheel brand/size, maybe even paint color. It looks metallic. More pictures would be great. That is a beautiful truck.
Thanks,
Mike
