Re: '71 Truck, in storage for 35+ years.
Factory height please!! Just my $.02
Sorry if this offends anyone, but everyone drops the original trucks and it’s like a eating a mayonnaise sandwich every day… factory height is way more rare to see these days.

Just like I don't care for lifted Blazers, I don't like slammed 2wd Blazers/trucks. Please keep it stock or stockish.

Re: '71 Truck, in storage for 35+ years.
I hate it when the suspension is messed with. Looks cheesy to me.

Re: '71 Truck, in storage for 35+ years.
Don’t be a cliche. Stock height is where it’s at.

Re: '71 Truck, in storage for 35+ years.
It’s your truck lower it if you want . Don’t be concerned about what others think . I lowered my 68 Golden because I wanted to.
You should hear some of the comments I get about my SS Chevelle that I ruined a true SS . Like I give a crap what you think my car should be I like it and now it drives and handles like a newer car . Sorry I’ll stop ranting now

Re: '71 Truck, in storage for 35+ years.
Today is a good day. I got the truck home from where it has resided since 1986. Now the work starts....typical issues with fuel, brakes, ignition, transmission, engine. Just want to tend to these items as needed.
