Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
I just watched the episode of Hot Rod Garage where they installed QA1's coil over kit front and rear. Is that what they are putting on your truck?

Karl, I haven't seen the episode, but I remember seeing a picture or something of it. So, yes I believe it is the same kit.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
Got everything installed. Looks like it will ride about and inch lower! Perfect! QA1 will go back through and check all of the bolts etc. And then take it for a spin. I should have it back in Colorado in a couple weeks. I went ahead and bought a power brake booster from Performance Online, so i will install that and some new brake lines then. Should be a fun little driver! What do yall think?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
I also picked up a set of 15x8 6 lug wheels. I will use a couple of them for the rear. Just brought 4 new tires, now I'll have to buy 2 more so i can get a little wider in the back. Wish i didn't replace all 4 three weeks ago lol

She's all loaded up and heading back to Colorado! I'll let y'all know how it rides. Bill at QA1 drove it and says it is a blast to drive! So stoked to try it out.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
I finally got to drive it today. WOW! This thing handles corners so well. Take corners as fast as you wish. The only problem is trying to keep my ass planted on the bench seat. Ha! Highly Highly Highly recommend this QA1 coil over setup!

Thank you to all. It's getting better every time I update something. If I only had more time... I've been super busy at work and trying to get stuff done around the house.

PS: This truck is up for Truck Of The month if you want to vote for it,
