This is exactly what I'm planning on doing within the next year to my 71 GMC.

Couple of questions:
1. Who's kit did you use for your suspension drop? 4/6"?
2. What kind of mileage have you been seeing?
3. What gears in are your running?
4. Looking for swap recommendations - mounts, headers, wiring harness. Any info would be great. I've read quite a bit over on 67-72chevytrucks.com but it's always nice to hear opinions on products.

Nicely done, well executed!

 

Front suspension is cpp 2 1/2 spindles 2" coils. I honestly haven't checked the mileage. The gears im also not sure of they the same ones that were in it when i drove it with the orig 6cyl 3 speed. I should have checked when i had the axles out but i forgot, they seem to be a tall gear thow. I used the stock mounts and made my adapter plates from some 1/4" steel i had. Headers are Dynatech lsx swap headers for a 2 nd gen camaro, they do hang a tad below the frame but no lower than the oil pan.

 

Pools mill rods is awesome. Just sayin

 

Hell Yeah! I'm with everyone else,, Ammo Can is awesome touch. Way to think outside the box!
