I did a shackle hanger swap in the rear of the truck. The new hangers are actually the same as the front-rear leaf hangers.
This got me about 5" of lift in the back. Before Attachment 375080 Attachment 375081 After Attachment 375082 Attachment 375083 I got some 52" springs for the front. Attachment 375084 |

For the 52" swap, I had to move the frony hanger forward.
Attachment 375085 Attachment 375086 I still have to move the rear shacle hangers bushing, for the front leafs forward by an 1-1/2". That will also require 7.25" shackles, which I had to build. Attachment 375087 Attachment 375088 |

My boy was eager to see what his dash was going to look like, so I jumped the gun and got er done.
Attachment 375089 I used a brushed nickle door plate kick for my back panel. Turned out pretty cool. Attachment 375090 |

Front End
Like I may have said before. I took the 52" rear springs from a late 70 model Chevy 4x4 and put them on the front of the truck. Hangers were moved, shackles fabricated, new brakes, bearings, seals, shocks, stainless brake lines, blah, blah, blah, were added. I will let the pics do the talking.

After the lift, the tie od to the steering arm was at a severe angle, so I got a Pro Comp 4" steering arm to replace it. Conicle washers are a pain! Attachment 384482 Attachment 384483 After Attachment 384484 |

Rear Suspension.
Basically replaced all the bushings, shocks, brakes, etc. Didnt like the rear shackle angle, so I changed it and bobbed the frame. Attachment 384485 Attachment 384486 Attachment 384487 Attachment 384488 |

Exhaust
I bought some Flowtech ceramic headers. The flange didnt line up with the head very well, so I cut the flanges. I used Thrush turbos and used 2-1/2" EMT for exhaust pipe. Attachment 384489 Attachment 384490 Attachment 384491 Attachment 384492 Attachment 384493 |

Choppin the Bed
Bondo is highly flammible and doesnt weld up very good! :D I ended up cuttin about 10-1/2" out of the bed so that it would line up. I was going to bob the rear of the bed, but the front schooled me not too. :) Attachment 384497 Attachment 384498 Attachment 384499 Attachment 384500 Attachment 384501 |

Re: k5 66
man, I LOVE your truck!!!
what is the black on the bed, primer, or flat paint? |
Re: k5 66
Paint is called "Satin". I think it is made by Krylon.
Just temporary until we can get the body work done right and get a good coat of paint on her. I found that I can get paint by the gallon at Tractor Supply pretty cheap! It only comes in tractor colors, tho. :D |
Re: k5 66
cool, thanks
I'm guessing it is rattle can paint then? |
