This maybe a long shot but...

When I was in highschool a few years back I there was an older guy in town that had a 67 Chevy C10 long bed. It was flat black, arrow straight and is the reason I got turned on to this body style. It had a wicked big block and a 4 speed. It had almost a gasser style stance to it. Nose a little higher than the rear and cragar SS wheels. All he ever said was it had HD springs up front. Id like to give my 72 GMC that same stance. Anyone out there have a pice of a truck with a nose up stance? Or with HD springs up front? Havent seen the old man or his truck around in a few years.

Sorry for the long post, any pics, or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
JR

Oh and it had home made fenderwell headers, no PS/PB. Used to see him towing a small boat with it and a couple grasshopper lawnmowers. It was at TRUE DD Haha!

Thats the exact stance I was going for! If you dont mind me asking, what rear spring are you running? And what your wheel and tire combo? Thats a good looking truck!
