Re: my 69' cst

I agree, leave it the way it is. The only thing I see that looks a little off is that the front looks like it sits higher than the rear. It could be the driveway or ? , but other than that, that is one pretty truck!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: my 69' cst

I love red too, but that puppy would stay just the color is if it were mine.

Off topic: but I love your stomping grounds up there in N. Georgia. We visit Helen and Dahnolaga at least a couple of times a year. I have real good friend in Gainesville. We love it up there, and my wife and I have seriously considering moving up there maybe after the kiddies get grown!

Very sharp truck. I always like a truck/blazer better with the molding. How much work are you doing to the motor?

Re: my 69' cst

Looks great.

Kinda in the nose bleed seats though.

Nah, If I had a truck that clean I would leave it alone...
