Hey MRQTIPP,
Your up in Redondo Beach? Is there any way me and my Fab guy can come up and check out your rig? Especially the front suspension. We're about to do a 3-link/Panhard on my 55, and looking for ideas. I've seen lots of pictures, but would like to see one up close. I'm down in Oceanside and can drive up almost anytime. Let me know. email: landcruisnman@yahoo.com
Thanks----nice 40!!
