Thank you.

Rear leaf to PB coilover conversion is done. Now it's time to drive it and plan on doing the front, with a 6.0L while it's torn apart.

i wanted to sit a little lower, so I took out 2" in the back and 1.75" out of the front of the bench bracket. Capped the rear off to clean it up a little.

This bench is out of a '89 Chevy Cheyenne truck and I had it reupholstered to look similar to the Chevelle patten in '70.

No there's custom and there's CST custom sport truck. CST was the top of the line back then.

It's only 2.5" up front, and the rear coilovers are all the way out right now. With a bed, the rear should be about 6".

Likewise.

Not sure what the issue was heading home. About 45 mins from home, up the Altamont pass it felt like the rear brake started dragging, then lost a cylinder.

It's all good. Definitely worth it!
