I wish.

Heading to Corona tomorrow morning. If Brothers had my mirror kit in stock I would have stopped by for some "carry on" for the return flight home.

Instead Early Classics helped me out with half of it, then made the trek down to see Bill at Vintage Chevy. Mentioned the At****er meet, and he didn't appreciate me "advertising" the competition in his shop. :waah:

It's crunch time boys! Next update will be Weds night.

It's gonna be alright Devin, just think of the relaxing time Saturday afternoon at the C/10 Ranch. All your hard work and effort is gonna be well worth it.

Thank you.

Rear leaf to PB coilover conversion is done. Now it's time to drive it and plan on doing the front, with a 6.0L while it's torn apart.

i wanted to sit a little lower, so I took out 2" in the back and 1.75" out of the front of the bench bracket. Capped the rear off to clean it up a little.

This bench is out of a '89 Chevy Cheyenne truck and I had it reupholstered to look similar to the Chevelle patten in '70.

No there's custom and there's CST custom sport truck. CST was the top of the line back then.

It's only 2.5" up front, and the rear coilovers are all the way out right now. With a bed, the rear should be about 6".
