Really great idea with the boxes- and you can slip a "hidden" box in between!

That's nice! I have all the parts from Flat Out Engineering to do the same. How much did you notch the front to get it that low at ride height?

Thanks!

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4

Nice build!

Good choice on the vette suspension.

I saw a C4 (complete driver) at Pleasanton for $1500. Thats a lot cheaper
than an aftermarket IFS.

If you ever get tired of that GMC grill I have a nice chrome chevy grill to
trade.
