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.

Where'd you get that sheeting? That's exactly what I've been looking for for my glove box door.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Took windshield & rear glass out of the 68. I found a little rest in the top of windshield. Ground out the minor rust, ( in the seams ) Filled primed & painted
ready to have it install this morning. I'm also putting in a B&M sport shifter today. Next job will be to make an Alum overlay for my auto meter gauges. I still don't know how to post pictures !! Need help on that

How to post Pictures.

Once your on the post U plan to make scroll down to where it says manage attachements. Click on it. A pop up will appear. Click on the first browse and pick the picture off your computer. Then hit the upload tab. Once it uploads do it again for the next picture. U can do this 5 times on each post.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I received a call from the body shop, they have finished with the UPS-damaged fender. I will pick it up when the weather breaks. I'll try to get up before and after shots for you guys.

Dano,

Your stuff will be in the mail on Friday. Gave you enough so you could screw up a couple of times. Pretty easy, though. In the glove box door, you can use a needle to pop any air bubbles.

And thanks for the ashtray idea. I stole it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

That's a bummer stepsider. I broke a rear once, but the front went it well. Go figure.

I ran my engine today since a buddy came over. Worked on the other car's master/slave clutch cylinders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Thanks HeathBirkendahl. More ideas to ponder for my trucks. The seats really nice. And different. Never would have thought a stock seat frame.
