I was told they were 6" drops. My pal the P.O. bought them and he wondered later if he'd purchased 5" or 6"....I know that Early Classic is so cool they'd ALWAYS
switch springs around. But, because I'm almost down on the bump-stops, I think they are 6's. Also, I'm running their short shocks and shock relocate-kit along
with their big, fat anti-sway up front and their adj. pan-hard bar out back.

The 338's in the rear are 20 x 10 and the rubbers are 275/45. If you want to see a rear-shot of the tire-profile, I can find a picture. I think I'd like to go with some
more sidewall on the front AND back next tire change.

nice.......it does look like a 6" rear drop.........I am running a 5" spring and 2" blocks but those are getting shaved to 1"....4 1/2" up front and a just bought a Porter Built Panhard bar kit from the classifieds.....just wanna drive this thing already.

[midniteblues]

notches and rear mocked up and torn back down. I'll have about a 7 5/8" rear drop
ps dimple...installedstill undecided if I even want ps yet but I figured I'd do the dimple while I can

been thinking about doing the caster mod. w.t.h all it involves is drilling a shallow hole right. I'll need to read up on it some more

hopefully we are off too the blasters this week

I think the magic is in the suspension work some people do ,not an engine combo, but comes down to what a person has done and familar to over the years.

[shawno72]

When I install my 6" springs I'll be at about a 7 7/8" drop out back. Just for fun I set it on the ground with no springs to simulate an aired out bagged rear end. I like it

Be sure to TELL HIM how much you appreciated his " Big brotherliness " over the years , I had none of this growing up and it's to be treasured .

Thanks.I do every time I'm there.We have always been close but we're closer now I think.He told me alot the other day that he I had during my younger years that I had forgotten about doing. I didn't know there were other people around watching me for him. Kinda scary.

Yes '74. He has had that car for about 18 years and has been aiming to restorod it but it has been one thing after another taking the cash away from that project.He thought that after the 2 girls got outta school and on thier own they would have a few dollars then his wife got down with a bad back.She went back to work then he wound up with lung cancer.Guess we'll see how this goes.

He has a 440 built with a 5 speed to go in it. Maybe we'll get to run it atleast once.I HOPE.

I'll keep up dates as I have them.She will be mean

I finally got mine out of the garage under it's own power. Even took it around the block a couple of times. Sure feels good it's been sitting for 2 1/2 years. I still got a long way to go but it feels soooooo good!

Truck looks great and congrat on it moving on its own!

BTW, what type of wheels are those? I don't think I have seen them before. They look very nice.

[jc70chevy]

got my notch installed it was a pain in the butt.

[HotRod C/10]

opened up some new boxes with rear disc parts.

[74baggedbug]

The truck was running like complete crap and shutting off, somehow the distributor came loose and causing all my problems but fixed it on the side of the road. It's running like a top again and even came home and gave her a bath

Found the leak I couldn't find, the otherday at the muffler shop, '67 c10 lwb ss, '65 230, daily driver. A crack in the block behind the exhaust manifold pipe. Recently reveled by engine cleaning (scrape w/ putty knife). Great truck, just needs everything. So I shut my eyes and dumped in a bottle of bars original recipe. Does anyone know an expert (better than me) engine builder in Northeast Georgia? I am looking for a custom built complete L6 that I can dropin and drive.

Palf70Step, thanks. They are American Racing AR898. I wanted something a little different and found these on Ebay.

If you're ready to pay ' expert ' pricing , go to Jasper Engine in Colorado....

Got it parked in the garage for the winter, tore the grille off, and put my new tach cluster in

[RRC]

Posted via Mobile Device. I used my plasma to cut out the center of my 68 air cleaner , then I used 2 hole saw's put together to cut the hole in the 2 barrel base. ( one hole saw as a guide and the other to cut the hole)
