Great truck I like the classic black and red. I can relate to the taking for ever, usually that means its parked, just got it back on the road after 6 years. Hope it stays there!!!

i just moved from new orleans to pensacola and its been parked since the move.
its built pretty good though with upgraded power steering power disc brakes, and rear end out of an 86 pick up...the guy i got it from changed it to leaf springs though and i dont know how to lower it any further without cutting the frame. i'm not gonna cut the frame. i guess you'd have to see underneath to know what i'm talking about. i just want it glossy black and a little bit lower...one day.

There are several things you can do to lower leaf springs. Your wheel well are at the top of your wheels, so two inches would make a big difference.
-Assuming your rear is mounted under the springs, and axle flip would be alot of work but you would lower it 5" to 6".
-De-arching the springs would gain an inch and reversing the spring eyes another 1/2".
-If the rear is on top of the springs, lowering blocks are simple and can be 1" to 3"
A suspension/spring shop would help figure it out. I've got two inch lowering blocks and cut front coils. Early Classic has comparison pictures. See the link below, post and picture and someone will know how to make it happen, Laterhttp://www.earlyclassic.com/Tech.asp...=Stance+Photos

I finally get to post!!! :) So this is my truck, bought a few weeks ago 2 hours south of Salt Lake City for 500 bucks, got some new tires cause the old ones were 18-20 years old and i have a new gas tank coming today or tomorrow. SO hopefully be up and running here in a couple weeks, i can't wait to drive this daily.

:welcoem: You have to post them on Photo Bucket, Smug Mug or something like that and then copy the url from that web site. You can't copy it from your computer. It won't work.

Somebody must like you to get a rig that clean for $500! That is a very nice truck that someone cared about. The last picture reminds me of ours the first winter after we moved to North Idaho:

He just for some reason couldn't get anyone to buy it, he bought it for $1200 and originally had for $900. it kept going down for a couple weeks and then i jumped on it, it needs new rockers and toe panels (<- i think that is right) you can see the floor pad in the corners, but i just figure its normal since he said it was a farm truck for years.

The snow on your truckk looks awesome btw markeb01
