Ran out of money for the build, but it didn't stop me from dropping the front suspension from the frame on the '69.

Sprayed oven cleaner on some more parts, washed it off and finally found a little rust...not to worry, it's low on the pass side front fender well and only superficial. California truck.

Ughhhhh, the previous owner had decided that 4 inch trailer lights from Wal-Mart was the way to go for brake lights. Today, we decided differently. I had a few pieces of 14 gauge steel and the neighbor kid was more than willing to weld in the patches and this was what we finished prior to it getting dark. !'ll finish grinding tomorrow as it just got to late and too noisy

here's a few shots of my neighbor welding in the patches

Well, today I went and got my book out of my truck.

I'm broke and it's my daily driver. Can't afford to tear it apart, lest I not be able to get to work in the morning.:waah:

Early Classics. Fit perfectly and was pretty easy to install.

I installed the same ECE Super Track Bar with 6 inch drop coils last year. Great Setup.

I went with 5" springs in the rear. The install was straight forward and all components fit as advertised. Starting on the front this evening. Installing 1" drop coil combined with 2 1/2" drop spindles.
