Hey, I love the way the truck is coming along!! Looks great. I have a quick question. What kind of lowering set up did you use on the truck? I have a stock 72 LWB and I want the ride height to look just like yours. Can you tell me what you did to achieve that look? Also, where did you get your 700r4? I picked up a used one that was rebuilt and I have had nothing but problems with it. I paid 750 for it. I am wishing I saved some more and purchased a brand new one. Can you tell me where you picked up yours? thanks a ton.. keep up the good work. Like you I started working on old trucks with my dad, 46 chevy truck, now I am into one of my own. Still learning too...

for that height i believe i cut my orignal coils a one and an half turn and the rear two inch blocks with 3 inch lowering springs i believe.
but thanks alot for the kind comments
also about my 700r4 i took it out of a 93 camero. i got the tranny for free as long as i pulled it out it was mine.

Today i took crooked to the frame shop. Crooked is no longer crooked but it will always be called crooked.
and i pulled out a 350 for crooked 4 bolt center. i am saving up this week and next weeks pay so i can get my engine rebuilt. and this weekend i can finally probably start workin with my notches

[JesseH13]

i know its not 67-72 related but my buddy of mine wanted a roll pan for a 04 chevy so i did it for him it was my first roll pan job and looks great i didnt warp the metal and came out straight i was proud of my first roll pan job

all he needs now is a paint job for his back half

[67chevy1series]
