I am flattered that my truck is to be your inspiration...Thanks so much man!!

Let me know if you need paint codes and I'll pass them along...Although, I believe I posted them in my build thread here somewhere....

Only differences I see in our "Mistresses" is your's has long "legs"...and mine has short

EDIT: and it's a 72....

I look forward to following along with your build thread!!!...Thanks again....

Hey GC in your sig it says you are running a 2.5" front drop and a 4" rear drop. Wouldn't your nose be sticking up rather than the rake you have right now?

72BlckButy · 08-26-2009, 11:20 PM

Geoff, I still can't believe how nice the Mistress turned out. That color is amazing in the sun.

No, that's a "typical" drop. A 2.5/5 levels it out even more. these trucks are really butt high from the factory.

So glad to have the "edit" button back

72mistressc10 · 08-28-2009, 10:07 AM

Ok GC and Redneck, so if I dropped mine with 2.5" spindles AND 2" drop springs in the front with a 4" leaf spring drop in the back, would that create a monster rake or ??????

IMO... yes!

Here's a shot of the rake on my truck with a 4.5/6 (spring) drop, and to me another two inches in the rear would be too high.

Also here's a shot of novajess' '72 with a 4.5/5 (spring) drop, so just add another 1" in the rear....

Sorry Geoff..... didn't mean to divert from your build thread.

gcburdic · 08-30-2009, 10:04 PM

No problem guys....let's get back on track....
Went to a local cruise in the other night with the wifey and took a couple cool pics (or at least i think they are)....check it out!!!

72BlckButy · 08-30-2009, 10:10 PM

Tell her she took some great shots Geoff.

As her what the trick is to get the night "light's on" shots to come out. Maybe it's that I need a tripod, but I just can't get them to work.

VA72C10 · 08-30-2009, 10:12 PM

I like those shots as well...either have to have a tripod or an ultra steady hand...

plzsale09 · 09-02-2009, 10:30 PM

Went to a cruise inn the other night to. I took my 79 with a 502 in it. There is this local guy that thought i really did not have this truck, so i had to get her out and raise a little cane and show him. Geoffe just looked at your build thread. That color is bangin. Great job.

I told her what you said and she said "who said what??"

She turned the camera flash to the off position and took these without a tri-pod...I guess a steady her hand works, but I'm sure a tri-pod would do the best....

A little afternoon cruisin' and photo takin'

*highperf4x4* · 09-20-2009, 08:43 PM

I just noticed that the hump in your hood has a little more slope to it. Are the 67-68 hoods usually like that?

VA72C10 · 09-20-2009, 11:15 PM

I like the pictures Geoff....looking good!

Ummm....I'm not sure. This is the first one I've ever bought....where exactly are you talking about?...

*highperf4x4* · 09-21-2009, 08:58 PM

I was referring to the cowl induction. I never noticed until now but I looked at the hoods from lmc and sure enough, the 67-68 hoods have slightly more slope. Makes sense though considering the shape of the hoods.
