No real sure when I'll do it. My son and I have been talking about taking another 1/2 coil out of the front and then 1 leaf out of the rear and run it like that for now, I might do that this weekend. As for doing it "right" , it will either be this winter or next. Then I'll go with spindles and 2" springs in front and either shackles if I want 4" or flip the rear for 5".

Once I get a few things swapped out and a few more things done to it that I listed in the first post, I just want to drive it for a while! Then I'll start gathering parts here and there.... carpet, door panels, paint and supplies, lowering components, etc. Then most likely next winter I'll strip the interior and redo it, then start on the outside. I don't want this to sit forever like the 68 did!

I was going to swap the 700R4 out of the parts Burb into it, but reverse is out of it. So in the next month or two I'll just have one built, then swap rear ends too. I don't know what gear ratio the Burb has, but since it has a 700R4 it's got to be better than 2.73.
