Hello everyone, I just wanted to say hi & i'm glad to be a new member here, (I kinda had to wait until I got the right truck) I've always been into Hot Rod Trucks, I guess maybe up here in the Washington/Oregon area trucks are just more popular then cars, anyway, I've had several cool lowrider hot rod trucks, including one witn a big block, but I've always wanted a bad boy 67-72, & now I finally have a nice one, (had to sell my 94 Land Cruiser & my boat to buy it) but it was well worth it, it's a beautiful Viper Red with violet pearl 71 c-10 with a 425HP 350, & has all the good stuff ididit billet colum, ceramic coated hooker headers, blah, blah, blah, anyway, I hope to post some pictures of it some time soon that are worth looking at, the littel one here doesn't look quite right after I made it 7 times smaller to fit here.

okay this is the last picture, (gotta show the motor right?) :hiya: the truck is pretty much done except I do need to put in a posi rearend, it has 3.73 limited now & I can fry the right rear at speed below 35MPH, I am also interested in maybe switching to a 700R4 but I don't travel much with the truck so it's not as important to me as being able to leave 2 big long black stripes behind me, I'm open for any ideas of what work, any body use the power trax from richmond? IT looks pretty stout & they say it's easy to install.

Thanks everyone, I've liked this board for awhile, now I really feel welcome, I've been drooling over this truck for over 10 years now, my buddy has put $$$ into it for over 18 years, he got a wild hair & decided he wanted to sell it to me & buy an Escalade, I Love it, I doubt I would ever sell it. Anybody from my area going down to the end of the world Hot Rod Run over at Long beach, Washington? It's this weekend.

Welcome to the board! I love your truck!!! It's not over or under done, it's perfect! I have had a few 72 shortbeds myself and went with the stance you have on yours using all Early Classic 4/6 drop.

Hey thanks Cal 58, I totally agree the 4/6 drop from early is good setup & it rides really good, this truck rides better then some of my newer trucks I've had, although I have hit a few bad spots in the road with one of my lower A arms, scares the heck out of me & makes me stare at my oil gauge for awhile, I love these trucks, you puts some decent wheels & tires on it & the right stance, & they look great even before you put a fancy paint job on them.
