Re: I am from the Desert
Great update! Congrats on the grand baby! Also, we need a video of that motor running! What mufflers did you go with and do you like how they sound?

Re: I am from the Desert
That's gotta be one of the best weeks a man could have. Bringing life to a beautiful classic Chevy truck and a daughter bringing life to beautiful baby. It truly doesn't get better than that I believe. Congratulations my friend. God is good.

Re: I am from the Desert
thank you Brian your too kind.. I know we all have choices about colors I had different colors in mind ...the original color of the truck yellow was my plan for years /black interior... and then I tell anyone who will listen I would paint every truck I own Medium Green 502 (the 72 in my Avatar )BIG BUT here I really love this blue with a buckskin interior I agree on the classy .....besides I am getting very anxious to drive

Re: I am from the Desert
haha! Sometimes you have to entice the other parts out of hiding by ordering new ones.

Re: I am from the Desert
I like the painted inners. Gives the engine bay a clean look.

Re: I am from the Desert
What was the problem with the suspension to cause it to not sit right? Binding or spring not in the proper position? I will paint my inner fenders body color too. Looks great!

Re: I am from the Desert
Brian
think it just didn't seat correctly with the initial install 4 inch drop spindles / springs combo I made sure it was positioned properly on the lower control arm when I put it back together it seemed better but didn't pass the finger between the tire and fender test on each side ![]() thanks for asking will be looking for yours Jess
