Re: 1978 Chevy Crew Cab Ultimate Offroad Build

So after really looking at my budget, I can't afford to go with a link setup. I am going with a 6" lift 56" front springs and 6" lift 63" springs in the rear. As the parts are piling up in the garage, I am taking a week off from work next week to hopefully get all or most of the frame and suspension work done. I have also decided to move the complete drivetrain in my 72 mud truck into this truck. I will pulling the 72 a part this weekend to pull the 468 stroker BBC, built 400, and divorced 205. I am going to order 5.38 gears with spool in the rear and still trying to figure out the front for the D60. I will post pictures are the end of the week so give you all idea of what we are really doing. I bought a set of new 44" boggers. Ouch that hurt, but worth every penny. Can't wait for next week!
