Thanks for letting me join!
I’m in the process of fixing up my 79 Big 10, the first vehicle I bought brand new. It’s been parked since 2003 when the cab mounts rusted out. The plan is make it mechanically safe and sound and go the ‘patina’ route and enjoy my old friend again without worrying about scratches or door dings, just lower it and some nice wheels.

I think I saw signs for Convoy when I bought an old car from a guy in Delphos. Not too far from here.

Thanks everyone, I am still trying to decide about lower or not lower, the rear springs are both bad due to rust between the spring eye and the rubber bushings.
