This is my project.  I just got it a month ago and this is what I've got so far.  Been on hiatus for awhile but getting back cracking in a bit.  She'll be bodydropped 2 inches and lay some hard frame.

[font="georgia"]Hey the body looks very straight! Im sure it will look good when your done. I know the Conitech air bags fit good in the front but the firestones may rub the kingpin. A friend has & his 521 bagged so if you run into any issues let me know & i'll get the low down from him.

Shows my new floor, in traditional body drop fashion (2").  The start of inner fender installation and appropriate steel repair.  Slammed front crossmember and front bag install.  Unfortunately my welder busted so it's on hiatus as of a week ago, and I'm probably going to have to wait another two weeks to get back to work.  C'est la vie.  BTW anybody got a windshield?

To datslamd,  Iowa Glass is now selling windshields for the 521 Pick-ups.  I was in touch with Rick Peek, who is in charge of window glass for vintage vehicles, and they just started getting copies for the 521 earlier in the summer of 2006. The price that he quoted me was $450.00 plus $115.00 shipping to businesses.
