Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)

so i wrapped up my other project (vitamin c) so i'm getting back onto the 68.

finished installing the brake lines. welded on some brackets and bolted on new tabs since the 71-72 parts connect on the front of the crossmember. installed the sway bar and shocks.

now i have to figure out this stance... the front was too low (see post 54). so i pulled the cut oem springs out and installed new bbc stock height front springs for a starting point (next step is installing the 396). i am liking the 5" drop in the rear, now i need to figure out how much front spring to cut. i'm thinking after i install the 396 and cut 1/2 to 3/4 of a coil i'll have a very slight rake, which would be perfect. until i change my mind again...
