I'd love to have them for my patina '68 in place of the stock chrome ones.

It took 46 years to get a bumper like this

**GR8-68** · 01-17-2017, 10:37 PM

I am thinking I may have to get shorter drop springs for the rear

I guess I will know more once the front is sitting on its own and I have the drive train installed to get the weight down on it

Looks awesome! It's definitely going to stand out from the crowd with that rear setup.

That is what I have achieved to do

stand out with some thing you do not see, this old school setup is not something you see much of anymore plus my theme is set to be unusual. YBNORMAL

It is a 350

**GR8-68** · 01-20-2017, 10:11 PM

I think I am going to have to go with a shorter spring in the rear

72_swb · 01-20-2017, 10:10 PM

Sorry about that Larry. Looks great though. I'm assuming you needed the wheel spacers for the front?

**GR8-68** · 01-20-2017, 10:13 PM

Not a problem ... yes, drop spindles do not work well with 15 inch wheels

**GR8-68** · 01-20-2017, 10:28 PM

And I came home to a few more presents

**GR8-68** · 01-20-2017, 10:30 PM

They are one of my favorite old school wheels, I bought them here on the board for a heck of a deal

72_swb · 01-20-2017, 10:17 PM

nope. Forgot about the 15s. I do love those wheels. I'm trying to find an old photo of a 72 that had the same wheels

rusty76 · 01-21-2017, 10:17 AM

Truck is looking great. Liking what I see

hewittca · 01-21-2017, 10:52 AM

Love the steady flow of updates. I agree, it could lose another inch or two in the rear. I'm just picturing it tucking those tires and it would look rad!

**GR8-68** · 01-21-2017, 11:08 AM

My thoughts exactly Corey I have plenty of fender well clearance to get down more.

**zicc1835** · 01-22-2017, 09:58 AM
