Re: 1972 Medium Olive SWB Driver Build-“Chester”

Had a good night out in the garage and today a buddy came and helped out for most of the day. Decided to go ahead and clean up and install a 4-core radiator I’ve had in the garage for a while.

Today was lower the truck day. Overall it turned out pretty good but already think I want to go lower. Up front I installed CPP 2.5” modular spindles and cut one full coil off the spring. While the front end was apart we installed new Moog upper and lower ball joints. Out back we just installed a set of CPP drop springs. I bought them used at a swap meet for $40 and was told they were 3”. Before and after measuring show 4”. I left the drop blocks out since the truck sits 1/2” higher in the back.

I’m thinking now I might do my drop blocks and get the 2” front drop springs from CPP to get it down a little more.
