Thanks guys . I did get the retractors from Pullman for the lower shell and they work great. I did not get the elhippie lifts as when I spoke w them the brackets would have to be cut off and rebuilt and I don' t have the original lift brackets. I may have to go that way but leaning toward gas lifts as my burb is not all original but a restomod w new running gear. With swap meet season upon us please keep me in mind if you stumble upon some.
