I was kind of thinking this one might be good

I like the pvc radiator hose.

or maybe this one


I like the way he mounted the steering box.

This would be a good way to lift my truck


And I could connect my steering box like this




And to think that we could be passing these people on the highway at 60 mph!!!

thats the result of having way too much free time and not enough birth control.

So you want to wreck a 67-72 Chevy truck??? Did you see how many of your pics had the term "FORD" in them. In my honest opinion......don't do it to a classic Chevy. JMO.

I guess the jokes on me.

I put this up as a joke but it looks like a few guys are taking me seriously on this.

These are some of the most f***up suspensions I have ever seen. Some of them are death traps waiting to happen.

I found this site and couldn't beleive that people actually did these things.

I was pretty sure that you weren't serious. That would be a scary ride for anyone.

Ahem. New1. I resent that. I would think we'd do a little better fabrication than that. Okay. Well, maybe me and one other person in my shop would. plus the teacher. that's about it.

I got an idea.

I can raise the truck up about 20 feet or so, stretch it out about 50 feet and put in the "big block" that Dwaynes56&68 was asking about in his post:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=68087

Might work with some heavy duty springs.

That motor is really not that big.Those are leprechauns working on it!It should fit with a little work.Maybe a mid-engine?Put it in the bed,add another rear or two to help with the weight.
