that goes down the sides. here a couple of pictures of the truck when it was on the trailer after i picked it up.

Re: 1961 chevy apache 4x4
Looks like a good truck to work with. What are your plans for it?
So this truck has factory power steering on a 4x4?.

Re: 1961 chevy apache 4x4
This looks like a nice project and it should be sharp when done. Why are you putting lift blocks on the front when it is at best a sketchy setup? you are obviously putting quite a bit of time and money into this truck why would you cheap out and risk hurting your investment when the block spits out?

Re: 1961 chevy apache 4x4
the blocks are only to test the hieght. i wanted to get the truck level and the front sits lower than the back. they don't make springs for this truck i have to have them made and with the 468/700r np205 i din't know how much it was going to squatt. now that the motor is in and the font sheet metal i can get springs.
