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.

That will work I think. Are your springs for a BB? Are the springs for a BB the same as for a small block?

*Dylan · 08-01-2010, 05:19 PM

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.

**jamie72** · 08-01-2010, 05:28 PM

bb springs are differant,they use the same springs as 3/4 tons use....if that helps any... btw i`m still trying to get the one i`m hope to drive road worthy,its not a show truck,just a in driver in progress... good luck on gettin the parts and gettin the truck there...

70cstjr · 08-01-2010, 06:04 PM

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.

**70cst** · 08-02-2010, 02:57 PM

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.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-02-2010, 03:34 PM

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!

**jamie72** · 08-02-2010, 07:40 PM

well my deadline got busted... i thought i would be able to pull it off, if i got off work in time in the evenings to finish up the little things,and the parts i got on order got here on time... well looks like i`m working over this week also so the truck won`t be road worthy... maybe next time guys...

Wow, nice ride. Great stance too. I like that the colors aren't the typical for our trucks.

I figured if those colors were good enough for the truck in 1970 they were good enough 40 years later.

**70cst** · 08-05-2010, 09:28 PM

Hopefully tomorrow night at this time 'llI will be cruising in the Circuit Rider.

JRBECK64 · 08-05-2010, 09:47 PM

Great lookin truck. The stance is perfect.

Thanks...
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.

**70cst** · 08-07-2010, 06:52 AM

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...
