I'm working on a 69 and have a few questions. Did you do drop spindles or just springs? Do you know if you can use the drum brakes with drop spindles and then up grade to disc brakes using the same spindles. ( just not ready to give up the dollars yet for disc) Did you use the stock steering column? What steering wheel are you running? Thanks for your time.

the truck is lowerd with springs , but in hind sight i would have gone with the drop spindles.
i have not looked into it in a while but i think that you can up grade the brakes / spindles using 73 to mid 80s truck from a yard . dont remember if its a stock 73 ball joint or a aftermarket ball joint part .
i dont know if you can use the drums on the drop s or not but call and ask the maker they would tell you .
still using the stock column the wheel is not stock it was on the truck when i got it , i liked it so it stayed

I`d say it counts[cl[cl. I like what you have done to clean up the side by putting late model door handles

its a little shiny - but super rad -- i vote yes.

thanks every one for the the kind words .
the cool part of those handles is that it was so easy and simple to do , it uses the fac. inner door stuff no rods or cables . bilt a top heavy lever bolted to handle and it strikes the fac. piece

I'd say it counts, nice ride! Like DWF, I'm also building a '69 with a 396, I just picked it up, so it's going to be some time before it sees the road again.
