Thanks guys I appreciate it. Jwall killer truck man! Well I went ahead and ordered the Belltech street performance shocks again. Got a deal and couldn't pass it up. But for a $25 shock the KYB actually ride really good surprised the hell out of me. So the SP will be put on this week in time for a truck show this weekend. Also...
Just passing this along these people here have saved me hundreds of dollars. Good people small family owned business. Just passing this along I know we all want a savings and most bang for our buck. Check these guys out. I wish I would have found them sooner. And no I am not getting anything from them just helping out the community!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Well I got one side done. Just went ahead and put the KYB on. The Porter bracket is nice straight forward install. But it would have been nice to know the proper angle for the bracket so I just leveled it to the bottom of the frame. I guess that is correct. I called Porter no answer call me back in a day. O well it's on so no turning back now lol. I will finish the other side tomorrow. Been chasing a no heat issue. The best time to test it during the summer time right lol.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Well I put the Gas A Just on. Took the truck for a ride this weekend with the Excel-G and ate my inner fenders up. So put the gas a just on no more eating fender and ride quality imo are just like the Belltech but it is tighter in the turns and lane changes. Which I like to get out on the streets and raise some hell as much as I can. But out of the shocks I have put on this truck so far these are the best. And priced right. Tomorrow will be upgrading my cooling fan relays to a PWM to better control the fans. I will post pics when it shows up tomorrow!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Would you ever consider selling your old belltech suspension components, like the rear flip kit, spindles, springs etc. I loved the stance on your truck and would die to have it on my truck but because moneys tight right now I can't go out and buy a brand new one.

Just keeps improving! What did you end up with on the rear shocks, I lost track. Did you end up liking them?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

New air filter showed up today! R2C competition filter. But on a real note these do flow and protect you engine better than the K&N cotton gauge type filters. I have seen data and real world use. Plus the black hex looks bad ass!!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I think I might be able to go 1" lower in the front. If I measured correctly the LCA will still be above the rim lip.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Changing it up a lil. Lol.
1. All new lowering kit front to back " I know I am crazy lol"
2. Getting ready to start working on some new inner fenders
3. C Notch
4. Interior " I don't know what I want to do just yet"
5. Looking for some Chrome wheels to replace what is on truck now. 22-24".

That's just the beginning of what I got going on for now. But I have 3 car shows and a rod run to go to all in the next 2 months.

But here is what showed up today.
