Re: 72 Family Truckster

Finally making a little progress on the burb's. I've talked myself in and out of different scenarios and finally decide on a path forward. I'm going to continue with using the 00' frame for the drivetrain. I'm also going to keep the IFS up front for a nice smooth ride. I ordered a shackle flip and zero rate kit from ORD this week. I'm hoping with that setup it'll push the axle forward closer to the original 72' wheelbase of 127". If not I'll move the front spring hanger forward an 1" or 2. Front the front lift for know I'm going to run new torsion keys giving it about 3" of lift. Eventually I liked to swap that out for a full 4" lift for the front. Now time to start making body mounts to adapt the new to the old. The plan right now is to run a 35" tire on it.
