building my first lowered truck
hows it going guys? decided to post this up to kill some time.
this is my first bagged vehicle, first time fabricating, first classic vehicle, even first chevy lol. so input and constructive critisem(sp?) is welcome. enjoy got the truck in june of 2010 when i found out i was loosing my license for 6 months. seemed like the perfect opportunity to build a truck. traded a 97 ranger for it. wiring was shot, has some hack work on it, cut springs, a little bit of rust and a fresh 350/th350 in it. also later learned it was a c20, first noob mistake lol. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...k/71ff8dd1.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...k/ff25f91d.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...k/7f49b301.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8...k/9ece13ea.jpg |

Re: building my first lowered truck
Looks like your doing great, especially for a noob.;) I see your keeping the 8 lug hubs. What are you planning on doing for wheels. They 8 lug selection is rather limited.
Kep practicing, and posting those pics....:metal: |
