I wished I had bought them but I talked myself out of them. Back then money was tighter. I asked my dad about the 427 big block motor they were in back then and he said forget about them they weren't going to fit in the 1/2 ton truck.
I don't know what size truck they were because back then all I was interested in was the electric's. That yard had dozen's of old chevy dump trucks in it. It was right above the old Charlotte fair grounds on Hwy 29.
I got my whole dash for a whooping $40.00 with tach and vacum gauge. The tach is still working today. Well it would be but I have retired it.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. Last edited by Andy4639; 09-18-2011 at 04:16 PM.
