Re: 71 Fleetside Comes Home!

I bought the truck with the airbag setup already installed. I know it has drop spindles. I have a stack of reciepts to go through. Overall the truck is in great shape. My cab from my 70 is in better shape. Near plans are to paint the frame and get my cab swapped in. I will start a build thread this weekend...
