Cool deal on the shocks Drew. At least you found that info out before you were driving it and heard a clanging.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I didn't end up with much time today, but I got my blue shocks painted black and welded the lower brackets to the axle.

I also mounted the driveshaft. Maybe I'll have more time Sunday.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Drew, the truck is looking great! I don't remember if you said you're keeping those wheels or not (they look great too) but the GM accessory torque thrust look-alikes on say a 265/50/20 or 275/45/20 tire would be really cool and have that subtle old school / new school, "only if you know what you're looking at" look:

I was considering calling missing persons because even I beat them to the post and that rarely happens.
