Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build

Pat thanks for posting pics. Note the springs affixing the ebrake cables to the frame. Very hard to find OEM pieces for which there is a current thread: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=793031

No problem, thanks for the information.

I did give it some thought as to why the springs were securing the brake-lines. I thought it seemed pretty "light duty" holding the lines in place, but then again, they have lasted 47 years!

I'm going to go with 2.5" lifting blocks in the rear. Do you think my brake cables will still work, or will I have to acquire extended ones?

Thanks, Pat

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build

Was dead set on going with a set of rally wheels that I purchased.

But....I have to say, after viewing several others on here, the white steel wheels look fantastic!

Do you guy's have a suggestion for the size and backspace?

I'm planning to go with 33" x 12" x 15" tires.

Thanks

Pat
