My recently acquired square body.

bob_o · 05-16-2014, 01:05 PM

Finally lowered my '75 Sierra. FRONT: 2.5" Mcgaughy's dropped spindles and '66 Buick LeSabre front springs with 2.5 coils removed. REAR: SpecialtyRetail axle flip brackets. Looks dope, handles better and rides nicer!

one of the best I have seen on here. love the whole look, patina, etc. i'd patina the primered hood to match the rest. maybe some door signs to match its heritage (City water department meter reader?)

not crazy about the white walls and full wheel covers. i'd do dog bowls and black tires (don't hate, MHO).

Thanks man. I eventually want to run some nice GMC dog dish caps, but finding a set I like (that I can afford) has proven to be a chore. The whitewalls are stayin' though

The wheel covers are '56 Buick with bullet centers that I had hanging in the garage, the lines of which compliment the truck so nicely, I figured what the hell?

Here's some pictures of my newly redone 78 from the white 2 wheel drive long box to a black and grey 4x4 short box. 454 big block vintage 15x8 1/2 aluminum slots, bucket seats, counsel , A/C, electric windows, electric locks. Also this was my first attempt at the $50 dollar paint job http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1400463205 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1400463205

Whats the $50 paintjob?

troy hallan · 05-26-2014, 10:03 AM

its rustoleum paint mixed down 50 % with mineral spirits and rolled on with 4 inch foam roller sanded between every 2 coats has total of 8 coats then sand and buff cost $ 50 but really cost $ 160

nos487 · 05-30-2014, 08:52 PM

Here is mine

Hankster · 05-20-2014, 01:48 PM

I finally lowered the front of my '86 it has some weight in the back so it dont normally sit that low, But i do plan on flipping the back. We chopped 2 coils off the springs and it lowered it 5 inches, not to shabby.. P.S. wheels are for sale, lol

I do want to add that the front of this thing sat REALLY high, we think it might have had over sized springs in it. I do plan on lowering the front more also.

Will cutting two coils off the front springs and doing a flip get the truck about five inch lower?

4 front and 6 back, I assume? Did you do anything besides a flip in the rear?

PcolaC10 · 05-31-2014, 11:28 PM

Yes, it is 4.5" front (2.5" spindle/2" coil) and 6" flip kit in the rear. No C-notch needed.
