Rear air, front spring. Interesting!! I'm in.

ADchevys · 11-28-2015, 08:49 PM

This truck is my inspiration and direction I'm going with this build, although I only plan on a 3 inch chop. I want to put the back window on the belt line to make the glass equal all the way around.

Finally got moved and the old house up for sale. Looking forward to working on this again. Look for updates soon.

ADchevys · 08-03-2016, 03:03 PM

Plans changed a little bit, decided to to run stock height springs in the front. Also I didn't like the way that four link fit the frame. I plan on going with a parallel 4 link and Panhard bar. Got the frame boxing plates tacked in where the 4 link will mount.

Ordered a ridetech four link, hope to have it installed by next weekend.

MiraclePieCo · 08-07-2016, 02:17 AM

So do you recommend against the Gambino's kit?

ADchevys · 08-07-2016, 02:48 AM

It's a good kit, very well made I didn't like the way it fit the frame. I plan on using it when I bag my 51 fleetline.

ADchevys · 08-11-2016, 10:20 PM

Started taking in the 4 link.

Got the cab off today. Then I decided to ditch the trubo 350 in favor of a 4 speed.
