thanks for the info....i was gonna ask about the dearched springs because that just sounds like a bad idea to me...

That sucks slugish....I definitely feel your pain. It's a shot to your manhood, and pride to see your ride hauled home by a flatbed. I spun a bearing in my '69 Z/28 a couple weeks back, and had to have that hauled home as well. Luckily, it was nearly nightfall, and a relatively short drive, but it was still sad, and embarassing to see your sweet ride hauled by somebody else because you broke down.

Nice truck. I've had my truck towed twice. The first time was for a blown ignition module. The second really cost me. Blew the timing chain going home. HHHHMMMMM, yea my foot was in it. The second time is still costing me. The replacement motor is now bolted in. I'll post pictures later.

I hope you don't live near L.A. because I'm gonna copy that paint scheme!

we are about as far away as you can get . go for it . the pinstripe is tri color blue dark at top med then light. seems to really tie in the blue to the silver. had a orange pinstripe at first as a mock up (didnt like it ) the pinstripe will make or break your color scheme. pics please when finished
