Will upload pictures when I get home, but thought I'd at least share what I've got. It's a 1974 Chevy short-box with a 383 stroker (in the process of becoming fuel injected), a TH400, 203/205 ORD Doubler, Dana 60 with Detroit up front, a 14 bolt full floater with locker in back, and 40" Pitbull Rockers on beadlocks.

Nice. I have done the same Ford shock towers on my burb. How is that stock steering working out? Looks like you might need crossover. I like it.

Haha like I said, that's old. It's already got cross over and the doubler after those pics were taken. It doesn't have those springs anymore either. It now has 52" springs up front and 56" in back.

Things get a bit hairy driving freeway speeds haha. It sways pretty easy, I think I'm gonna add another leaf to each rear spring

Ill be sure to put that on a wish list of some sort. That looks like a very nice and easy system to set up. Hell that can go on pre '86 style chevy engines. That's great!

I gotta know how this is going with the injection. My commando project just went SBC, and in time would like to upgrade to injection.

It'll probably be a couple weeks before I get it on, I'm going out of town this weekend, so I probably won't get to it till the following weekend Feb 19th-20th.

Got a lot of the fuel injection done this weekend, and it should be up and running by the end of the week :)
