5" spring and a 2'' block.......... May go to a 1'' block so it has a slight rake to it

It will handle better with the rake. That is how they were set up from the factory.

Where did you get the 1" spacers?

Looks great! Now the colors kinda remind me of a sleigh. Finish it by xmas, throw on a Santa suit, and drop by with gifts of console parts and I'll give you all the beer you can drink.

Looks great Dave! Thanks for asking but I'm too slow - could use a strap and a Chevy bowtie to replace a GMC emblem. No worries as this is a spare console for a possible future project. Maybe I'll catch you over the holidays - I should be in town,

HotRod C/10 12-16-2012 07:58 PM

Re: My 68SWB build
 
yeah those are long gone..........the straps can be mad if you know where to get coated cable.........the ends are available at Napa. I'll be in town so we should have a Christmas beverage.
