Info For My Build
It's been a while since I've posted on here. There's been a lot of work that I needed to do to fix my daily driver, so sadly I've neglected restoring my 72. I still need to get my wiring and my gauges fixed. I WAS able to get my vent glasses fixed lol. (Needed that with this heat) And I put a filler cap in the side of my bed (Relocated a tank under my bed from a 72 suburban).
For my rebuild I have a few questions: -How do you measure for a drop? -What ci should I go with? For the drop question, my grandfather did lowering springs and dropped spindles but he had a stroke and can't remember how much of a drop it is. How do I measure his truck to figure the drop? Is it from the ground to the bottom of the bumper? Or the top of the tire to the fender? Here's a pic: ![]() As far as block size, I want a big block. I have a 366ci now, but it's a truck block. I will be looking for a car block (4 bolt main) but I'm trying to figure out how big i want to go. My 366 will stay for gas mileage and the new block will be for fun ![]() Just wanted to ask the guys that have been here longer than me what a good block would be for a street-able track truck. Thanks!! P.S. Here's some more pics of my gas cap ![]() ![]() ![]() Sadly, I had to cut into my bed a little to fit the filler-line ![]() |
