Classic Part of America. I have a discount code also if you need it. Or you can buy it from Cheyenne Truck Parts. They are the manufacture of the dash. And yes I agree time for the 3 shades of green to go away.

So I am liking my new steering wheel. The spacer that comes with it is 1" thick which is no issue but they make a .5" spacer. So I ordered it. I have more room than I need now lol.

I had a few guys ask on here about the shocks I am using. I found another front shock that compresses a little over 3/4" more than what I post and using. I ordered a set cause I am trying to go .5-1" lower in the front. Either way these work great with the PB Shock relocator.

So me being me never being happy or thinking what if.... I bought around 4 months ago some 4" drop coils. My plan was to see if I could cut 1 coil off and have a 8.5" front drop. So I took the 4" coils cut 1 coil off slapped them on and boom!! It fits!! And no rubbing thank to the PB control arms. So here is the before shot of the wheel below. This pic set was a 3" coil with a coil cut off and 2.5 drop spindles.

The new after pic. This is with a 4" coil 1 coil cut off and 2.5" drop spindles. So theoretically this is a 8.5" front drop.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
 
I can't go any lower being static dropped in front cause any lower and I will be rubbing fender lip. Now I can go the last 1" I have available for the rear. Just need my PB c notch!!

I will not be using the wood on my door panels. I should have some pics of the new interior parts tomorrow. New dash bezel look new trim piece look that goes on the dash and the new steering wheel look for my steering wheel.

You needing some wood panels?

Anyone can bag there truck, but to get it that low without bags is something special. Don't ruin that truck by putting bags on it, take pride in the fact that all the ones on bags spent probably 4 times the money you did to achieve that look. Great job, that truck is awesome

Thank you I agree. I won't bag it. Never planned on bagging it. My goal from the jump was see how low I could possibly go static and I have found it. And I appreciate the awesome comment about my truck!

I might. Mine aren't the greatest of shape. The chrome trim around it was painted black and is chipping off
