Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

It wasn't too bad at all. Its a pearl but covered pretty well for a bright color. I was pretty pleased with it.

I prefer the 67-68 and the 69 grille and fenders were pretty shot. He had the 68 clip on another truck on his land that was pretty trashed so when I got the truck we pulled it too. Had to replace the ps fender but other than that and new inner fenders its all chevy.

Re: Mine and Grandpas c10
well after a 2 month vacation shes home! I had to put her at my bosses house so I could do the bodywork on his 72 vette. I'm glad that's done, I enjoy fiberglass work but hate the mess it makes. Heres a couple of pics of the vette

Nice work on the door panels. Can you elaborate on what you did to make these? Did you upholster them yourself too?

Thanks, their actually super simple. I took two pieces of "finishing plywood" from home depot. Not sure if that's what its called but its like 1/8" thick. I bought them in 4x4 sheets. I cut the first to the size of the full door panel then the second to the shape I wanted on the bottom, a little gorilla glue later and they were ready to be upholstered. I didn't do any of the upholstery it was done at a local shop. Used 3 sheets total.
