Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue
Looking good!
On your trans leak; there is an o-ring on the output shaft that can cause that leak. If you look at the inside of your slip yoke, there's a smooth area before the splines where that o-ring sits and seals the splines. It's an easy fix, just pull the tail housing to get to it.

Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue
Love the build!! What are your overall thoughts on the drop leafs? I have a 69 GMC that I'm torn on. Stuck on drop leafs vs a DJM flip kit. Ideally I'd like 4-5" drop, and I'm afraid a flip kit may be too low.

Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue
They're okay. You may have noticed, but I had a super thick pack of leaves and even with 4" drop springs I dropped somewhere between 3"-4". If you want 4-5" of drop, I would go for the flip kit. I expected and wanted more drop and might have to convert to coils someday to get the ride height I want and a better ride. Worst case, the flip kit is too low and you're out $100 or so and you sell the kit.
