Trucking along with the build, just wanted to give to guys a actual video instead of my first video which was just a slide show but still cool. Sry the truck looks a little Blue it was done in the shade because it was so hot out, I wont make that mistake again lol. At this point my Paint Job is done, she drives great, and I get a lot of compliments so that's cool, I still need to do the Interior, clean up my Engine bay because the painters totally destroyed it, AC unit, and a couple other things here and there. If you guys have any questions or want me to make any Vids on anything specific just let me know and ill try my best to do it, Thanks

You have put a lot of work into that truck, and it looks fantastic.It is definitely an inspiration to all of us that don't have deep packets to see what can be accomplished working under a canopy on the back yard.God bless you and keep up the good work.

the front was lowered by removing the original straight axle, then I installed a Heidts (HEIDTS SUPERIDE II) front suspension system, with has coil overs to adjust the height where you want it, now the rear is more tricky, I installed Mono leaf springs in the rear but it was too low and I had to get blocks to raise it up 2 inches, if I were you I would definitely install a adjustable 4-link rear suspension, you will be way more happy with the ride, it cost more but its worth it believe me lol

Did you used the 2" drop or the stock spindles on your IFS ? I am in the middle of a similar built using the same suspension and i really like the stance of your truck,by the way i like to complement you and all those that got the chance to work on your truck built very nicely done good color choice and a it looks like a great driver ..
@georgesinbox2
@georgesinbox2 6 лет назад
sorry for the last response , i used the 2" drop spindles at first but it was way too low for me so i changed them to the stock ones that come with the IFS, have fun

Do you have a video of installation of the one-piece door window? Different people do it different, the ones I have seen doesn't make alot of sense. Someone that drives theirs daily is the person I am more likely to listen to. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.
@georgesspot
@georgesspot 9 лет назад
Man i can honestly say those one piece windows were a total pain to install, i broke the drivers glass twice, the manufacturer dosnt sell just one piece of window glass, so i had to have them custom cut by a glass guy ($45 each time), sry to say i have no video on the installation, the directions they give you are a joke, there was a lot of my own input on the install

I C Notched the rear End, put 4 inch drop mono leaf springs in the rear I still had to use some blocks to raise it a little more to get the rack I wanted (i think a 2 inch drop mono would have done the trick), and I put in a Heidts Front Clip

Your truck is sweet! I kept the straight axle. Went big block with th400 and 373 gears with 20’s also. Pickup is in the paint shop for an overdue spray job. 69 chevelle bucket seats and lockgate shifter. It’s not a trailer queen. Still have to work on bed, that’s a fall to winter project. Going higher gears sometime in the future. Oh yeah, this pickup is extremely loud but, at my age it’s alright.
