New shocks are here. Should be a big improvement over the Rancho 5000 that didn't move when I unbolted them...

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

I'd be interested in the part numbers and website, don't think that's against the rules. Do they make them for a 2" lift? Thanks

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Here are the part numbers. I did not order from eshocks I ordered from Autoplicity.com

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Wish they made Bilsteins for a stock K5 4x4. Needing new shocks very soon. Wanted the best.

As soon as the infant wakes me up tonight I will research for you

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Ordered Dorman exhaust manifolds for a corvette as suggested here on the site. Also want to order HEI, plugs and wires as a kit. Does anyone know if the proper kit exists or who sells it. 350 V8.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Did you ever find out if they actually did make Bilsteins for a stock K5?

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

I did not. I will check on that tonight. Sorry man. Slipped my mind. 2wd or 4wd

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

4X4. Thanks.

Re: 72 Jimmy build

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

You can get pre-made wires for either type distributor that run underneath the manifolds. Easy way is to order for a Corvette. '73 for points type distributor cap or '75 for an HEI style cap. I like the Taylor premade ones, but I put MSD street wires on my '69 short step.

Got the 800 lb electric hoist from Harbor Freight at black Friday sale and installed it today. Works like a charm so far.

Had to pay extra to hang it sideways like that

Here's a view from the inside using 1/4" flat bar as backing plates for the eye bolts.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Got the 37" Boggers on and a lot more to come.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Looks mean with the Boggers. Nice man! :metal:

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Thanks mont. Now to figure out how to hear the radio over the humming

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

Bigger tires, bigger stereo? Lol. More importantly, I want to know how it rides with those beautiful new shocks?

Re: 72 Jimmy build
 

I rides much better than it did with the busted ranchos. But let's be honest, a 72 Jimmy on 37 Boggers isn't air suspension LTZ. Biggest change I saw was putting the new steering gear box. Handles well. Drive with one hand doing 60 mph

Going topless for the summer!

Finished product. Been at Cruisin' The Coast all week. This is like classic car heaven. If you have never been, you need to make it a bucket list item.
