Lol. Just need to move and get a flat driveway. Thank you for the compliment. The one in the background is a buddy of mine. That is his daily beater with a LS motor. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
To be honest this is the same setup as before but with a different company. 2.5 spindles with 3" coil for CPP sat higer than the exact same setup 2.5 spindles and 3" coils with western chassis. Only thing I can think is that the spring rating is softer/less on western chassis. But I like it!

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
So I got all my new lowering kit "anther one and last one". Went back to old reliable Western Chassis. Had a little issue with WC this time but they stepped up and hooked me up. I have now 2.5 spindles 3 coils flip kit extended shackle and hangers. Hangers complements of WC. Thanks WC! I almost gave up last night trying to get the original hangers off man o man. It's amazing what a man will do for 1 more inch. Lol. i got the ass end down to 8" with the option to go 9" now. WC flip kit 5" extended shackle 1-2" hangers 2". Truck is sitting perfect. 6.5/8!! I will get pics and post them up. Trying to recover from 6 hours of work on the rear end last night lol. But it was with it.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Well after watching football this weekend and having to replace the AC unit at the house I was bored. So I did a little polishing on the exhaust on my truck. This is about 5 min worth of work. I am thinking of polishing the entire exhaust system now. My original plan was to put tips on it but I this turned out pretty nice.
