Re: Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
I do believe I have a set of stock front springs that you could have for the price of shipping. Never used, came with a front end rebuild kit I bought for my truck about a year ago. Just pay the favor forward.

Re: Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
That will work I think. Are your springs for a BB? Are the springs for a BB the same as for a small block?

Re: Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
I'm not sure, and I'm not sure. Haha, I bought the whole kit off of another board member as he went a different direction with his project and it all came together in one big box. Springs are the only thing I didn't use as I lowered mine 3" in the front with a different set of springs. What's your zip code and I could try and get a shipping quote for you tomorrow if you still want them.

Re: Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
BB and SB springs are different. I got about 1 1/2" of lift when I installed the BB springs in my truck. The SB springs were pretty fatigued in mine though. The BB springs are definately stiffer.

Re: Ok Sneak Pic included-Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
Ok the race is on.
a) New BB Springs on order and should arrive Thursday afternoon. b) New turn signal switch is on its way and should arrive Wed. c) Kick down switch is bought and should arrive Thursday. This is cutting it way to close.

Good luck with the last details. Everytime I set a deadline I'm working late into the night before to get my stuff done. I wish you luck!

Re: Ok Sneak Pic included-Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
Wow, nice ride. Great stance too. I like that the colors aren't the typical for our trucks.

Re: Ok Sneak Pic included-Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
I figured if those colors were good enough for the truck in 1970 they were good enough 40 years later.

I am starting to realize one never gets finished with these trucks. Whether its a Daily Driver or a restored truck...there will always be one more thing.

Re: Ok Sneak Pic included-Update The Circuit Rider is......Finished NOT!
70cstjr and I picked up the Circuit Rider at 10pm last night. It will need lots of fine fine tuning but at least she was on the road. At 55mph I was a little uncomfortable as it doesn;t drive like a Subie.
I will taker her back in Sept. for a two week peroid of adjustments. Curt didn't get the Kick Down switch in but that's ok but the AC and Turn Signals/Brakers now work. It sounds like this... http://www.facebook.com/nathanheck Details to follow!!!
