Looks dope ... might wanna shave that valance tho, it looks like you might be scraping driveways if you went at them straight on.

I think the grill matched would look great

Pictures of the 68


I think if I get rid of some of the chrome it will contrast well with the black wheels. I don't want to black it because don't it will be a big black blur.

I don't have any updated pics of the '68 but here's an older one. It's a sea foam green original paint truck and I am doing all Porterbuilt suspension, ls6 motor, painted underhood and painted/updated interior with some of racelines new wheels they are about to release.

Absolutely, getting done soon!

Wow, that's a big improvement on a very nice truck!!


Thank you.


Lowered the rear another inch and pulled off all trim/emblems today. I will get it cleaned up this weekend and get some updates pics.

I had to kinda guess what would and wouldn't work. I went with the McGaughys coil relocators up front and did the Belltech 5305 coils without the spacer in the rear. Some of the rear suspension is different then the previous model but the shock relocators work. I didn't measure before or after so I don't know the amount of drop.

Is yours an LTZ or LT/LS?

Have you personally looked or worked on one of these? Half your parts list won't work on the 15's. I'm not going to go through your list and correct it but get your shit straight before you start making mendacious statements.

from looking at it did look close. spring perches the same upper a arm cam kit the same. struts can be also milled. Just waiting to get one here to do the final install of the parts and then if doesnt work all good. Learning experience for me and hopefully finally get one here next week to do. i want to slam one baddd

How is the ride stock vs 24s vs drop?

Love the look of the 24s and drop. But mine is really a family hauler and not sure the wife would tolerate it.

Im thinking of 22s and just leveling out the rear to keep it mostly like a stock ride.
