The Coys will be her Tuesday. I pulled the motor to replace the crank, dampner, and intake gasket. I bought a set of Western multi leaf 4" drop rear springs from Performance Suspension to be used with 2" shackles for the rearend. The springs in front are stock with a full coil cut going to buy Western 3" spindles probably Tuesday. Ill get some pics when some decent improvement is made.

What do you think, we got the motor back together and the oil pressure is up to 80. We replaced the crank and all the bearings. I plastigauged all the rod caps and mains and they came out in spec. I only ran it for about 15 min.never really came down. The gauge is not grounded becouse when I hit the key to run it doesnt go to 80 only after its started.

Yes got the leafs, not installed yet. I have been workin on gettin the motor back together and in, first test drive will be in about a hour once I get the hood back on. Oil pressure seems better today still about 50 though cold, probably just the new bearnings and Eagle crank breakin in. Springs will probably happen next weekend. Ill post pics of her tonight, GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK!!!

No pics yet but the truck is slammed, installed the 4in. drop leafs with 2in. hanger and 2in. shackle kit. I put the shakle on the 1in. drop hole so rear would be dropped 7in. lowered it down off the stands and it set on the rubber bumpers. I then picked up the truck with the lift and removed the rubbers. Then my dad and I started installing the 3in. drop spindle, I had a birthday party to go to so I left the shop and my dad finished the spindles. Pics and measurements to come later today.

Love those wheels . I bet it looks killer sitting on the ground.

I love this truck, this is the 2nd time I have owned it. This time though I am going to fix every little thing on it. I have not seen it since the spindles have been installed, should look killer. The next thing is installing so-cal speed shop gauges I bought last year for my 40 Ford truck but Im thinkin will look good in this truck.
