Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

It looks like you could have occasional tire rub with as little as 2" lowering without clearancing the bed's edge. Not a big deal though. Lower profile tires maybe?

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Eric, have you considered just leveling it? i.e. by installing a D60 4x4 front axle perhaps? ;)

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

If anything
I want the back end down
Not the front end up
The rear tires are inboard of the bed
So there isn’t a clearance issue

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

We’ll see
The stance is pretty good already

2 white trucks for comparison

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Stance looks perfect as is imo. Needs different mirrors. West Coast Sr or Camper mirrors (painted).

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

I think it's perfect just like it is! I wouldn't touch it suspension wise.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

How about longer rear shackles and a shim for the axle to keep the pinion correct?

Looking good, Btw.

J P Williams Motor Company. A used car lot, still in business. They are a trailer dealer now. We just bought a trailer from them. I walk over there from our shop on occasion. J P is long gone, but his son, John Ronald owns the place now. I have coffee with him on a regular basis. John Ronald had this truck 32 years. He sold It last year.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

The mirrors are definitely a conundrum
15 holes on the passenger side already
The driver side has 16
:banghead:

I contemplated putting these on
The patina is perfect
I can use 1 of the existing holes
And
It is a small flatbed 7’x8’
So
They are wide enough

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Nice flat bed! love the wall art!

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

A friend shot me a pic of what he has
I may grab them and see what they look like
They just seem too large ??
However, I believe they are originals

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Thanks

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

I think I would change the steering wheel to a correct 69-72 wheel. Otherwise I think that’s a great truck as is.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Those are correct mirrors. Big mirrors for a one ton - I say bring it on. Tyler is spot on too. Oem wheel w a vinyl isotoner cover on it. The brush guard plus the camping mirrors would really change it up. Business stencil on the door too :)

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Address that radio antenna please. :lol::lol:

I like what's happening with it so far. It needs those big mirrors.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Ok ok
I’ll go get the big mirrors
Won’t lower it
And
Will look for a different antenna

:fry:

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

I already have the steering wheel
Might even have another one I can steal the wrap from
Never knew
It was called a ‘vinyl isotoner cover’
But
Hey
I had to :google2: these too

Before knowing I had one

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Lol I couldn’t think of a better way to describe the cover..

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Ok ok
I’ll go get the big mirrors ………………….Check:cf:
Won’t lower it...………………………………….Check:cf:
And
Will look for a different antenna...…….And Double Check:cf::cf:

Hey.... I had one of those Saddle Blanket seat covers that I put in my brand new 1975 Chevy SWB 4x4, I sold it 10 years later and the bench seat still looked brand spank'n new.

Unity spotlight?

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

That reminds me, I need to change the switch in the one on my Longhorn.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

!!!

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

That is the steering wheel I used to put on every one of my trucks.

Re: 72 - C30 - clean slate
 

Well if you don't put air on it at least put a heater core in it before winter. ;)
