My So Cal 83 DD progress
 

So I bought my first shorty about 2 months ago. Here are the before pictures. After much research and drooling over many of your trucks I have made the plung to rebuild it and I am almost done. I will post some progress pics.

Here it is after I lowered it and just finished up the paint

Re: My So Cal 83 DD progress
 

Here it is as it is being put back together. Really needs wheels & tires! Paint looks awesome huh? It is a honda suzuka blue color

Re: My So Cal 83 DD progress
 

Here she is with the bedliner done, Wheels/tires on and just finishing up the color sand and buff. I am picking up the seat and door panels from the upholstry shop today. I am going to go to the shop and install the carpet kit, seat, door panels and drive her home. I am waiting for my vent window seals to arrive before I finish putting in seals and window slides. I have a new grille and bumper on order. Can't wait to get my truck home. Just so you know I sold a nice Tacoma to drive this.

Here is my 2008 Toyota Tacoma that I sold so I could have money to fix my 83 up and be my daily driver. Pretty crazy huh?

My Drop is McGaughy's:

Front
2.5" Drop Spindle
2" Drop Spring
Tires are Falken 245/45/20
Rims are Eagle 225 w/ 4.5" Backspace


Back
Flip Kit w/ C-Notch
2" Drop Shackle
Tires are Falken 295/40/20
Rims are Eagle 225 w/ 5.5" Backspace

I need to tub out my front inner fenders because I have way too much rubbing, but other than that no really major issues with the the suspension and tire combo.

That is so sick. other truck was cool but this one is already beating it IMO wish my build was moving that fast haha...what was the price on wheels and tires out the door?
