How do you all pronounce up "There", farms or fahms?

Is that near Pepperidge Farms?

Got brave today and drove her around a 3-5 miles radius.
Had my co-pilot with me today and fastest we hit was 40 mph.
Carter afb carb is a piece of junk, can't wait for warmer weather to put Qjet on and P4B intake...
Get some new paint on the valley pan.

Going on lift to determine what suspension parts are new & old.
Most likely will get upgraded springs & shocks to firm up the ride even though it has new KYB's in all corners.

Scott P, I need to consult with you on suspension upgrades for sure!
Can you or anyone please post links to upgrade.

Not sure how I'm going to fit wider rims in the front... back looks no problem.
Up front, back of the wheel (Rally II), 6" wide 3-1/2" backspacing & tire 215/70-/15" are 3/4" away from the upper control arm now.
I know Mark Cronk ran 255/40/17" 8" wide 4-1/2" back space all around on his...maybe he ground off some of the upper control arm?

Put it up on lift today, mainly wheel bearing issues, rest of front end checks out fine.
Have to put new lower ball joint boots on and get it aligned.
parts have been replaced and toe is in.
Real lazy way to replace fuel line with nice stainless so pulled that out of the way of the spring.

Is that fuel line run through the spring? Oy . . .

I run 15x8 chevy pickup wheels on my '67 GP HT. 255/60-15 tires just rub a bit on the front fender, but no c-arm issues. This is with the 4-pot disk brakes.
