Classic Part of America. I have a discount code also if you need it. Or you can buy it from Cheyenne Truck Parts. They are the manufacture of the dash. And yes I agree time for the 3 shades of green to go away.

Just a tease for what is coming for the interior!!! This is not final product just a sample for color verification.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

So I am liking my new steering wheel. The spacer that comes with it is 1" thick which is no issue but they make a .5" spacer. So I ordered it. I have more room than I need now lol.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I had a few guys ask on here about the shocks I am using. I found another front shock that compresses a little over 3/4" more than what I post and using. I ordered a set cause I am trying to go .5-1" lower in the front. Either way these work great with the PB Shock relocator.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

So me being me never being happy or thinking what if.... I bought around 4 months ago some 4" drop coils. My plan was to see if I could cut 1 coil off and have a 8.5" front drop. So I took the 4" coils cut 1 coil off slapped them on and boom!! It fits!! And no rubbing thank to the PB control arms. So here is the before shot of the wheel below. This pic set was a 3" coil with a coil cut off and 2.5 drop spindles.

These shocks do not fit. The eyelet on the bottom is to small. So these are a no go. I will just use the ones I have. Nothing wrong with them. But what I have does work perfect. The first set of KYB mono shocks I post for amd work perfect.


These are the part numbers you would need. These are verified cause I am running them and been running them for 6 months.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Anyone can bag there truck, but to get it that low without bags is something special. Don't ruin that truck by putting bags on it, take pride in the fact that all the ones on bags spent probably 4 times the money you did to achieve that look. Great job, that truck is awesome

Thank you I agree. I won't bag it. Never planned on bagging it. My goal from the jump was see how low I could possibly go static and I have found it. And I appreciate the awesome comment about my truck!
