(because I am for sure adding new suspension to it which would mean some modifications to the frame) And what are you going to use the truck for? are you going to bag it?
For the 72 frame and cab my plan was a static drop, LS-powered driver, sort of a pro touring but with about half the budget. To be exact it will have the appearance of a 67 short fleet, black, black wheels, black leather buckets and console, steel bed, tailgate handle relocated to inside the bed with a N/a 6.0/4L80E with a 3.73 Posi rear. Not looking to thrash it on the Autocross course or a drag strip just a nice weather driver that I can be proud of.
