Re: Project: 71 lwb "Burt"

Is that drop a 5.5 front or rear and same with the 7 drop front or rear?

Also before you level it out, can you possibly get a side shot of it during the day, if its not too much to ask? That's very close to the stance I plan on having.

Great looking truck. Really like that color. Looking forward to future pics.

Re: Project: 71 lwb "Burt"

I was told when I picked up the truck it's a 5.5" drop in the front and a 7" drop in the rear. I will try to get you a good side shot tomorrow. It's raining here today

Got the motor thrown together to see how it's going to look. Still need a lot of parts and some gaskets.
