Time for new springs, I got a set of heavy duty springs from Rockauto and cut them down to get the truck to sit were I wanted. It helped alot for the spring rate.

Not only was the 72 thru 80 my favorite body style, but I really like the two tone colors and trim dividers Chrysler used. I miss my two tone '79 Adventurer.

The 72-80s were such a beautiful designed truck, Where ever I went with one of my older trucks I always got great remarks on the shape, the designed...but yet very few outside of the mopar hobby(and just as few in the hobby) want them.
Sharp looking truck, Love the color combo.

Nice truck. Do you plan to sell the long bed?

Wow, I didn't know you were going to short bed the truck. I guess I missed that. It looks great! That must have taken a ton of welding?
