Re: low budget 64
I started out with 71 spendles from craigs list. did a little clean up and fitted new disc brakes. I order a air bag kit from sucidedoor.com....after the install it was not low enough for me....so I removed the lowers and had a friend cup them. now the truck sits 3-4 inches from the body. not slamed as i hoped but low enough to enjoy. maybe sometime later i will change it.

Re: low budget 64
Very cool! You gonna paint that column? Kinda' takes away from the rest of the interior.

Re: low budget 64
I agree...the column is in bad shape. I already picked up one from a buddy.Im still looking for a few more parts before I install it. Then I have to decide what color??
