Project RED-EYE begins

Well I didnt want to chop my C5 2wd so I decided to get something to get a drop member from and while looking for a suburban I found this 67 2wd that I couldnt pass up. The cab was so clean I thought now here is a starting point. So after towing it home and registering it I decided to just get in it and drive it.WOW shoulda reconsidered. I was a little late to work adn didnt realize that 4 speed really means 2 speed and the steering wheel was wearing off onto my hands . First and second gear are pointless LOL. Then I said uh wonder if it needs gas. Of course it did so yeah the guage works WOO HOO. Anyhow the plans are a ridepro set up and eventually a PB dropmember.. Im still laughing at how My compressor system cost more then the truck LOL...Ok so here are some pictures. More to follow.
