Tied in the P30 chassis to the C10 under the cab, kicked it up a little (P30 is straight, no bends at rear), notched over the axle, flip kit on massive rear springs. Frame rail protrudes about an inch into bed, just over axle. No bump in bed, as I wanted full bed depth. P30 A arms, steering (rearranged), springs and dropped spindles bolted in front.
Low mileage 454, TH400, 4.10 14bolt rear, power steering, hydroboost, oil cooler, trans cooler, etc. Put a Gennie shifter in so it looks like it still has a real transmission. I still have room to lower it some more, but those 32inch tall rear tires help calm down that rear gear. Original plan was to switch to regular front wheels/hubs, but I'm diggin those Budd wheels.
That's a cool look you have going there Chuck. I like it as is but at the same time I am visualizing that stance with rear duals instead matching the fronts.
