thank you, its really a great running vehicle. i know i hated trailing arms/ coil spring rears when i had a 1967 396 el camino.
right now i have 2" blocks lowering the rear and disk brake spindles that lowered the front approx 1-1/2". i installed a 1989 700r4 trans behind a 385 stroker motor. i put a fresh 3.73 12 bolt posi in there, so it romps. i have 2-1/2" ram horns and some oem cadillac mufflers that dont quiet it as much as i'd like. i have a 1-3/8" front sway bar from a 1-ton dually (possibly 1-1/4") either way it's oversized. i have the white kyb shocks all around. i have a puller electric fan from a beemer that is a really good fit waiting for me to install as soon as i can. i am seriously looking into retrofitting a l6 250 with an aftermarket efi/ ignition computer that i can tune with my laptop. i think it would be fun to get better mileage than an excursion or a hummer out of a smog exempt truck. just to prove that our current smog laws are nothing more than another tax.
i won't be starting the frame off resto part, until i finish my 1-ton 1972 cst blazer frame off project. right now the only thing slowing my progress is $$.
