Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

Being pulled in a lot other directions right now so not much time to work on truck. Finally got the rear shock mounts tacked in, still need to add another brace at top mount. Did not the use the 16" shocks. Would have to go through bed to make them work and keep close to 90 degrees to travel at full bump. Did not want to cut up bed for quite a few reasons. Tracked down some 14" travel 2.5 piggyback shocks for the rear. Bonus also got the 14" coil-over shocks for the front. Did have to pony up a bit as the fronts are internal bypass shocks. Wont hurt anything just really not needed. Will start on mounting air bumps tomorrow if all goes as planned. Rear axle has just over 12" travel now. Will have my planned 14"-15" when springs are redone. Few pics for fun at full bump and full droop. (edit) Also got all new e-brake shoes, calipers, mounting brackets and pads installed on axle.
