Pretty good lookin binder, I sorta always wondered why they weren't more popular though.
How are you gonna lower your front end Prenn? You gonna pull spring leaves and air ride it or just shorter blocks?

Just a quick heads up and revival of this thread ;) Gramp's rolled his truck into the paint shop last monday and took off on a vacation. It should be there another week and be done about the same time that he gets back. Then we are going to add dual straight stacks, air ride, maybe a few more inches to the wheelbase (still havent decided) and put it back to work! I'll be sure to get plenty of pics when we do!
