This is my last truck, I've posted this pic before, sorry if anyone is sick of seeing it.

Back is bagged without notch. Currently sitting with axle about 2" below the frame. Bags and spindles not installed in the front yet. It looks high in front but the box is still raked forward...go figure!

powell72, is the frame z'd on that truck and how much of a notch did you have in the back

powell72 · 06-07-2007, 12:04 AM

No Z, and the rear is just a custom C-notch. A little deeper than the bolt in ones.

Colorado Custom 20x8's with 245/35's and 255/35's. ECE drop spindle, Firestone bag, custom upper plate and MIC lower plate. The rear was ECE piston style bags, shock relocators, super track bar kit and custom 2'' blocks.

BTW FRENCHBLUE, my truck had no hole in the bed floor. In that pic the diff was just touching the bed floor.

a buddy of mine and i are going to raid the semi graveyards for the bags for the back of the '72. with ther levelers and all i should be able to haul about anything the frame can withstand. plus no matter how much weight i put on it, it will ride level, front to back.
