Also, got the Moroso tall chrome valve covers in and they fit perfect, clear the power brake booster with no issues. Fingers crossed, should hear it run this weekend...just a few loose ends to wrap up, prime the oil system, install pump drive and distributor, finish installing the cooling system, install rockers, adjust valves, install valve covers and a couple of other misc. things...

WOW! That looks GREAT!

What size tire and backspacing are you using? Your truck is really gonna look good.

The wheels are stock steel wheels widened to 12" with a 4.5" backspace and now wearing stock truck hubcaps. The tires are Mickey Thompson S/R's 29X15-15s...More pics coming soon, got the bed on last night and made some slow passes around the neighborhood.

Those wheels and tires really set the look. Making me think of selling my 20" steels.

Thanks, streetvan dan, I am using the stock lower control arms and just finished cutting one full coil off of the stock springs, ride height looks to be now almost exactly level, got dark on me so I will have to get a pic tomorrow, shop is too full of "stuff" to back away far enough to get a decent picture.

Thanks, not sure I have the front low enough yet but it's going to stay like it is for now, got a lot of detail work to finish up so I'm trying to stay focused on everything at once the windshield installer is backed up, the bed inside of the bed needs finished, the tune-up is way off etc, etc, etc...

Thanks and welcome to the board It's been alot of fun (and work) and I have really appreciated all of the help I've gotten here on
Moparts, I've done alot of street cars and race cars but this is the first truck I've ever modified. It's been quite a learning experience.
