FatKids 71 build thread
ok just getting started on it, so i figured i would start the thread as well. i have been trying to buy this truck from my dad for years, needless to say i finally talked him into selling it. i have done a couple ratrods and 4x4 offroad builds but this will be my first " pretty" classic wish me luck

Re: FatKids 71 build thread
thanks MJs69CST
i plan to have a truck that looks stock, but isnt. she will get a fresh coat of med blue and white all new molding and trim, interior will be restored to her original glory plus of coarse a decent sound system. not to crazy under the hood, but have the abilty to hold her own against the ricers. and i would really like to put her on air not crazy low just enough to notice. anyone want to chime in on a good set up for the air that wont completly brake the bank but isnt junk i would appriecate it

Re: FatKids 71 build thread
just go simple and buy the bag plates and cups for the front and the bags to replace the springs in the back and you are only out a few hundred , put them on manual schrader valves and you have cheap air ride !

Re: FatKids 71 build thread
How much does this kit lower the truck and about how much does it cost? Got pics of a truck with this simple setup?
