Thank you

I put a 2 1/2 inch front end leveling kit on it. The motor is a 1972 Ford/Lincoln 460 w a C6. I also changed the AC over using classic auto air.

It's purdy.

As for what I think, I think I should test drive that for you for a few years, just to "work out any bugs".

Jokes aside, outstanding truck, it looks fantastic.

Csn i ask whuch leveling kit you used? Im looking at this one but curious why it comes with differentrear blocks? Also, did you have to put in different C bushings and the drop trackbar mount? What about the main brake line?
