Re: Body dropped 67 swb Service truck
Here's been the plan for the truck.
It has a long bed frame cut down, z'd 3in in the front and 5 in the rear. Kp components notch. Stock trailing arms with 3in lowering blocks. Frame was cleaned using an arbor disk and grinder. Painted it with a semi gloss black tractor paint. It has new ball joints, bushings, body mounts, brakes, brake lines, fuel lines, new cab corners and rockers. Aluminum radiator. I switched the transmission from three on the tree to a th350. Two piece driveshaft and new carrier bearing. The exterior will stay the same except I'm going to fix the paint on the back right corner of the cab and the missing lettering on the doors. For now um running the stock wheels and keeping the original interior. As far as air ride I'm trying to find some used stuff. I'm trying to build the truck using under $2000 dollars. Right now I'm at $1400 including the cost of the truck. Thanks for all the comments. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Body dropped 67 swb Service truck
Last night I built some lowering blocks and bent some u bolts. Made the blocks four inches tall. I also started modifying the front lower control arms. Since I'm on a budget and the front wouldn't lay out because the bag would stop it I modifyed the arms and built a pocket in them. Their not finished yet but I'm going to finish them today. The trucks going to have alot of camber when at a real low stance but ill have to deal with it until I can afford Spindles and arms.

Re: Body dropped 67 swb Service truck
So today I bolted in the new transmission crossmember, ran all the airlines, mounted my compressor,finished the transmission tunnel, and installed the rear bags. Hopefully ill have it running in a week or two. Here's a teaser pic for the mean time.

Re: Body dropped 67 swb Service truck
Great truck man! In the picture by the 66; besides the 3" and 5" z of the frame, what other lowering parts have been used? Could it have been driven without the bags? Great work, keep it up.
