Re: 71 Ol' Blue
Great! Can't wait to see pics of the progress. ;) On the sway bar I just put one on mine too. That's correct, you'll need to use the stock brackets unless dropping 3" or more and then CPP makes some nice drop brackets I would suggest using instead of right to the frame. Good luck with everything! We'll be waitin'!

Re: 71 Ol' Blue

Re: 71 Ol' Blue
You can go 6" in the rear before you need a c-notch unless your going to be using your truck to haul stuff then I would probably notch it. A lot of members on here have 6" rear drops with no notch. I only notched mine cause I have a 7" drop and plan to bag it eventually. I say go for the 4/6 drop or even 4.5/6 if you like a little rake. If you just do a 2/4 you will probably wish you did a 4/6. Good luck with it.

Re: 71 Ol' Blue
Wow, just got through your whole thread. This was a truly GREAT find for $4k. I would love to find a truck that nice with or without a motor for that kind of money. I know you have spent alot more on it since you got it but what a solid foundation to start with.
BTW, that's super cool that you went with the 327 vintage engine. Looking forward to updates. |

Well, haven't gotten much done to say the least. But got my new gauges in that look good. The lens is pretty scratched up and I need a new circuit strip. So now I have to figure out what direction I want to go. White faced or stock? Here are a few pics. The first pic is of my current gauges and the one I just got.

Nice progress!! Here's a pic of my gauges before and after. I just did them in white face with new lens and black numbers, added Sunpro tach and vacuum/boost gauge. I'm also going to be running blue LED's. Give you an idea.

Got some more new parts in today....Just a couple more parts and I can get the suspension dropped and completed. I got a great deal on these parts off ebay. The coil springs are not listed as CPP. But when they came in I was surprised to see CPP on the box. Oh and no one else placed bids on the springs. I know guys here are always looking for good deals on parts and thought I would share.
