Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Been a member for a little while but usally hang out on the 73-87 forums. I took a pic of my dads 90 model with my phone so its not the best. Its got a "new" creat 350 lowered 2/4, boss 315 20's, "new" paint. Its beed restored for like 7 years but it sits in the garage covered. He'll drive it to church every once in awhile. Probably not even 5,000 miles on the motor.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

livnlo, that is freaking beautiful. I'm feeling the two-tone. How'd you get it that low, and what are those wheels?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

I'm looking for a little help guys.I was wondering if any of you guys know of any pics of lwb lowered trucks and if so could you please post them.Thanks

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

I would love to see some specs on this truck! Almost identical to my sons truck, so wheel/tire sizes and BS would be cool. Also drop components. Did you narrow the rearend? Looks pretty good!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Curious as well. Interested as to how you achieved 9" of front drop.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

I've got a 2wd with a 4/6 and i run the front "spoiler" just like he does. There is not enough clearance for another 5" of drop IMHO.

His before photo looks like a 4wd. Sits alot higher than a 2wd right? Maybe that's how he's coming up with 9"?

Am I missing something?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Nope, 5 lugs. 2WD.

His stock pic does look 2" maybe 3" lifted though.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

ccreddell that is a very sharp looking truck. I love the 2 tone color selection.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Thank you. Hopefully I can resurrect it here in the next year or so. I wrecked it in 2004, rebuilt the front clip and was just getting ready to get it going again in 2005 when a cold snap popped all my freeze plugs. Then, a year or so later, I became homeless for about three years, so its been sitting at a friends house. Now that I am slowly getting back on my feet, hopefully some progress can be made.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Good luck with it man and keep the pics coming.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Like BHB says, it's definitely a 2wd and it does look to be slightly lifted over a stock 2wd, plus the tires look a little bigger, but that drop looks about like a 9/12 should look from stock.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

OK, heres a not so brief history of my 93 ECSB;

This is what it looked like when I bought it.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

So, I took the opportunity, to make some changes. Had a friend who owned a body shop and he let me do a bunch of the prep work in exchange for some of the upgrades the insurance wouldnt pay for.....

This is after I wetsanded and polished it...

And this is how it looked with the 17s on it just before I wrecked it. Oh, and the cowl hood too.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Very nice ccreddell.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Nice truck. What happened to it this time? Are you gonna bring it back again?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

I was wondering the same thing:rolleyes:

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Was towing my wifes car back from Portland, and there was some road construction going on. they were running everything down to one lane and at the last minute, this lady in a big Dodge Ram goes blowing by me trying to get past me before her lane ended. No problem, I just backed off a bit. Then all of a sudden she realizes that traffic is stopped ahead and climbs on th brakes and comes to a dead stop about 40 yards behind the stopped traffic. It was about 110 degrees out and brand new asphalt, so traction was nil. So I slid into the back of her and took out the cowl hood and rad support, and grille and such. I drove it home and eventually fixed the damage, but just as I was getting it ready to go back on the road we had a cold snap and it popped my freeze plugs. I now have a place to work on it, so hopefully over the spring/summer I can get it back on the road.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

You've had some rough luck in that thing, but I guess it coulda been worse, especially the driver-side impact.

You still have the Eagle 212s on there? I get tired of mine every so often, and then I'll see them on somebody else's truck and think "Hey, those are pretty sharp."

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

front is control arms, spindles and springs, rear is a flip kit, shackles and blocks with a monster notch

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

3" lca's?
3" springs? (cut?)
2" spindles?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Right?

I just don't see how this could be possible. I know a guy who put that exact 3-3-2 combo on a truck once. He took it for a drive and was shattering the road reflectors with the LCAs they were so low. He drove right back to the shop and took the LCAs off.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

The front spoiler looks to be as low as 4 -5" front drop.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

I agree

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Yep, still on there-or at least they were last time I looked :-)

What Id really like is to find some 212s in 20" sizes-want to go to 20s real bad. Also picked up a 95 parts truck, so I think Im going to do the dash swap. And if i can find a T56 I can afford, Ill swap it with the 5-speed thats in there. And come to think of it, I have 5.3 in storage too.......hmmmm..........

EDIT: Actually, the wheel/tire combo that LivNLo94 has on his truck wold look killer too.....

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

When I dream, I dream of an LS/T56 combo for mine. Boost my HP and my MPG at the same time.

And I like LivNLo's rims too; they remind me of the EA 225s.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Who doesn't? My truck is already a 5-speed, so it's just begging for that extra gear. :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

Mine's a DD, so a few more miles out of every $3+ gallon would be awesome. It's either upgrade my powertrain or learn to keep my foot out of it...and what fun would that be?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

My foot needs to go on a diet. My daily is a 28 mpg Cadillac and with these gas prices I'm still trying to teach my foot how to hypermile it a bit. :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

i looovvee this truck!! sick job with the static drop!

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

this is my 92 DD hoping to get it layed out soon on some 22s and fresh paint

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
 

What seats you have in there?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
