Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

Fun little project today. Installed rear bumper to fab the outer bumper brackets. Outer brackets originally tie in to the frame right where my shackle hangers are. I needed to go around them and tie into the forward bumper bracket bolt. Had two sets of reproduction brackets to work with. Did not have the heart to chop up my hard to find original SWB 4x4 brackets. Been cycling and measuring at rear suspension. Ordered my 2.5 King shocks for the front and rear today as well as the ORD 4 link kit for the front. Brackets and tubing should be here in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately the shocks are 6+ months out (hoping I may get lucky as King is only an hour away), evidently the same with Fox. While I still have a bit to do installing the power train before front suspension, will most likely have to make a shock jig for the front to keep moving forward.
