thats as low as I need to go, will cup the a arms and 2.5" drop spindles, will see if that is low enough.......Thanks Kieth

I'm tempted to do the same. to me laying frame is the supreme low... but there is a nice peace of mind knowing you can blow a bag on the road and not be laid out on the concrete.


awesome truck man.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

here is a lil update

i ended up finding another 454 that was pulled from a running truck a buddy of mine had.. so i cleaned it up. painted it and started bolting some goodies on it..




also got the tranny cleaned up and my shifter installed



gonna try to get the mated together tomorrow and hopefully drop it in the truck so stay tuned!!

got a start on the bad spots in the floor


got the rocker off this side.. gonna repair some bad spots and paint it up then install new rocker panels.



still a long way to go but its a start

also got a new steering wheel thanx to yelton57
gonna paint it white i think.. not sure yet.. interior will be all black
