That's a sweet truck! Good stance. Are you keeping the same pants colors?
Question, did you do anything to get the 35's to fit, lift kit or whatever? I want to know what I can throw under my 72, I only have 33's for it now.
Gotta drive the wheels off the car you haven't driven for 3 years! Got any pics posted elsewhere, here or FABO?
That's a nice looking Barracuda! I don't blame you for wanting to drive that at all!Yes 6" lift in springs only. Had some issues with front DS angle afterwards. Ground some clearance in the front yokes then shimmed the Transfer case a tad to decrease the front angle slightly!
69383s cars are fun too!!!

I was planning on doing a 6" Skyjacker Soft Ride upgrade to my 72. I just have to swap in the 440, do the interior, paint, rollbar...
I'll pick your brain when the time comes.6" skyjacker is what I did. You likely have the same D44 front axle. My right side spring is clamped both sides. Later models had studs on the inboard side. The new steering arm was a PITA cause you have to remove the short studs and replace and they were well crusted in there. The front springs had angled shims but did not rotate the axle enough for a good drive shaft angle. Longer brake lines are needed as well. It's been 12 years since I did it but can give you some measurement or what not if you need it.
