6 years and a couple bucks later
Mechanically sound and pretty stock. Not very stock looking to the purists, but the corrosion factor out here in the middle of the pacific can be brutal. Had a little bit of metal put in some spots before i rhynolined the top and bottom, but it was remarkable clean. Bought it in AZ in 2003. Now i am working on blinkers and sidemarkers, it looks so sick at night when all the lights are working. 1969 PIG

That's ALL? 2" in front/1 1/2" in back? I have a '71 with 1 1/2" and stock springs, and my front springs are still only 1 1/2" from the bumpstops (saving for Alcans). I think the PO must've put springs on it.
