Installed new lowered leaf springs, shocks and shackles in the rear.

Forgot to hit all the bolts with PB Blaster before I started. Advil to the rescue.

Get an old truck, they said. It will be fun to work on, they said.

The rear sits about an inch and a half lower, but rides way better than it did on the old leafs (last owner pulled leafs to lower it).

The front will be addressed with much attention this coming weekend.

Passed " Taxachusetts " inspection early today! I never wait this long but just replaced power steering pressure line that let go at the inspection station a few days ago. The two guys inspecting had a lot of interest in the K/10 and shared some of their CHEVY stories. Made it a fun time. Just wondering if Your STATE INSPECTION stations are taking pictures of the odometer, vin and all four corners? Next thing will be a chip in all of us so they can track are movements.

No state inspections here in Tn , No state income tax, and state budget surplus . I just recently bought a titled cab , Just a cab and when I went down to change the title over into my name they issued a new registration ,and license plates along with the new title . I'm still wondering where to mount the plate ?:lol:

Yeah, the tag it to title it law we have is stupid. But, I've only bought vehicles that run, so I guess it doesn't really bother me.

Ordered a new radiator through ebay, went to an auto parts store and got a grease gun and hit all the fittings i could find on my drivers side. The three block squeak is gone! I'll still have to deal with small coolant puddles for another week or so.

It's great to live in the Land of the Free. Even if I am on the downhill side.

Get you one of those dealer type magnet attachments and slap that tag anywhere on the cab you want! :haha:

I don't think you legally can. Only options are the antique auto plate or a regular plate, like mine has.

Yep. My 69 truck has a 69 plate. A lot of maintenance and testing being done. I really loved my 72 farm plate.

Sounds similar to antique plates. I don't mind paying for yearly registration. Once I get my truck done the way I want, I'll be driving it any time I want.

I run a low amp triggered p/w p/l system I made with same basic make up as yours. Low amp switch to run relays. We in Ontario have boring plates.
