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

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.

Re: 72 Jimmy build
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

Re: 72 Jimmy build
Even better. Ask sellers questions first so you don't blame me if something is wrong...
Ebay Item # 141230471962 pair rear $117 Item # 131146042039 pair front $ 130 Both free Shipping. |
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.

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

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.
