Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

thanks,need to drop when I can afford it

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I have never heard the Magnaflows that I am aware of but I hear really great things about em nice mellow tone. Every Flowmaster I have heard or owned produced a noticeable cabin gain but If your gonna run your cats and run the exhaust out and away from the cab I don't see a problem with either brand.

There was a set like that in north Carolina, it was a nova ad a square both painted orange with black stripes, my buddy bought the nova and another guy bought the truck, I see them both regularly I just wish they were parked beside each other

mcboomport,
how much is that lowered?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

4-3/4" Front (3" spindles, 1 coil cut)
6" Rear (flip kit, shackles) I can lower the rear another inch with the shackles, but I need to notch the frame first.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Mcboomport what kit is that and if u don't mind how much did it run u ? And 3" spindles clear the rallies

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I bought the everything from Stylin Concepts. I think 3" DJM spindles were $280 shipped. The flip kit was about $100. I've had the shackles and front shocks for about 8 years, so that won't help ya cause I know stuff has increased about 30% since then. I've checked everywhere and Stylin Concepts still seems to be the cheapest.

As far as rubbing... I haven't driven it yet.. I've been working on the engine a bit, so I'll let ya know what I find out. I'm most likely putting my Bonspeed sweeps on it for a bit. I know they wont rub.

Oh.... Actually... I won't be able to answer that rubbing question.. I've had the spindles for about 5 years on an older truck of mine... I did some grinding on the spindle to clear the 15" wheels I had at that time. But.. I have run 15" cragars with no rubbing issues on other DJM spindles.

Hoping to get some advice:
I have 20x8s with a negative offset all the way around, but I am not happy with the stance or the way it drives. + My front wheels are bent from potholes. Should I go to 19s and get some more rubber on there or cut out the wheel wells and keep the 20s? Definitely need to get 20x10s on the back...

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Not sure on the wheels, I do like the 20/19 or 20/18 combo's though.

But I like the truck, and I am envious of those tail lights. Where might one find them?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I still have a pair of those darn things sitting around from about 10 years ago. I don't think you can get em. I've seen them on a bunch of motorhomes.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Nobody currently makes the clear tail light lenses. I dont think they are DOT legal anymore

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

love the truck and stance, not sure what to do, need to lower my truck and not sure which way to go

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Yes, clear ones are used on several motorhomes, as reverse light lenses. They are also often found as all amber and all red. They must be available somewhere.
