krue · 04-16-2003, 09:43 PM

nice truck, man!

DevinM · 04-16-2003, 09:46 PM

Awesome truck. What are the specifics on your drop? I see that it's a 5.5/4 but, what did you use? E. Classics?, Spindles, Coils, C-Notch? Does your truck bottom-out in the front? Give us the goods! Thanks

Dads72 · 04-16-2003, 09:50 PM

VERY nice looking truck.
How did you lower it?
And how did you do the trim on the tailights?

DevinM · 04-16-2003, 09:59 PM

Also, how about some interior, and engine pics? Mee likey.

jmanz69 · 04-16-2003, 10:15 PM

I see you are looking for 3.73's. What's in it now? 3.08. I have a set of 3.73's in my 69 rear end. You could have them if I can get the pinion nut off. Trade my gears/diff, for your gears/diff. Just a thought...

chevjayfsd · 04-16-2003, 10:16 PM

THanks Guys for the compliments.

The drop is 5.5/4 as you already know..
It is Western Chassis Kit, with 2.5 drop spindles 3" springs in front, and 4 in. Springs in back..

I have bottomed out in the front probably 2 times in 1 year. Never have bottomed out in the rear.

Engine and Interior pics coming as soon as i can...

Thanks
Jason

Dads72 · 04-16-2003, 10:34 PM

Different shocks needed?
Adj. panhard (sp?) bar?
Allignment problems?
Looks way cool!
How about some info on the exhaust?
Thanks

chevjayfsd · 04-16-2003, 10:46 PM

Dads72: There is no trim around the tailights, We shaved it. We have Doetch Tech Slam shocks on all 4 corners, Stock Panhard, The exhaust is Hedman headers to 3 In. pipes to the Flowmaster 40 series mufflers, True Dual, The pipe is straight and never bens. Pretty mild when cruising, but when you stomp it, it is loud as ^^^^.

Thanks
Jason

**BIG ORANGE** · 04-16-2003, 10:49 PM

Truck looks great but i would remove the rear window gasket and install a standard one like in the windshield. Maybe I'm picky but things like that stand out to me,but the truck is sharp!

67_SS396 · 04-16-2003, 10:57 PM

Sweet truck! What part of Tx are you in?
