Re: 1966 Chevy 4x4

yes its a 1974 3/4 ton, fo' by fo' shortened 17" from long bed version, although now that i've got the burb body on newer chassis, i wish i had only shortened it 15-16" due to the fact that it seems, to me anyway, that when these 60-66 trucks are 4x4's the front axle just looks like its a bit back towards firewall to me.
i'm going to run this as with "stock" style leaf front and rear,but eventually i'm going to 4 link, coil over front and rear,still 4x4, prerunner truck it.
mainly cuase i'm a desert guy, so haulin azz through woops in an old sub is gonna be fun and cool! also i'lll be able to pull out a coil spring (theres two stacked springs per corner on the shocks i'm gonna run), which will slam it in the weeds to go low and slow on cruise night if i feel the need.
