Any 73-80 with MILD Dropmembers?

Looking for some pics of 73-80 trucks with the mild dropmembers. Ideally, with 20" wheels. A pic aired out and another at ride height would be perfect. How long have they been taking to install? I will be taking my DD apart once I have EVERYTHING for the front in hand and hoping to knock it out over a weekend. Is this too optimistic?

I don't have any pictures of the Mild on a square body, unfortunately. You might be able to install the front on a long weekend, or 2 long days. Just take your time going through everything and the necessary steps. It is easiest to pull the engine when installing.

I'd check out the porterbuilt forum to see what is posted over there.

Getting it done in a weekend? Id say yes if everything goes well and you don't plan on painting anything while you are there. I have ran into problems (stripped bolts, wornout parts, wrong parts from the store, etc) with every front suspension I have worked on.

Do you have a back up DD? If not I would start Friday night that way you have an extra half day to fix whatever you find.
