Re: 72 c10 prerunner ideas...

OK OK I'll play.
I am working on a 67 stepside.
I call it a prerunner. I'm on the Race-Desert and Pre-Runner and Fab forums, and in true form, it is a 2wd lifted truck, only.

The 'real Pre-Runners' are insane, and so is the money.

So it's going to be a lifted 2wd, driver fun machine.
88-98 front lifted spindles
I found a Moog spring catalog I'm digging thru for springs, something soft would be nice.
88-98 front 6 lug discs
I have a set of lower tube arms, they might end up on egay...
I plan on setting up everything going for a drive and then maybe finding someone to build me custom longer upper and lower control arms. If I need more something
No sence in getting in to deep, this is going to be a driver, not a frame off custom 24 inches of travel, morgage the house, trying to keep up with the fast boys.
I've seen the true 'Pre-Runners' and basically they are a Trophy Truck with four seats (usually) and a full interior. Cubic dollars. I looked at one at SEMA and snapped a few shots and scratched my head and said DAMM.

Now back to a thin wallet, not living in fabrication heaven, and one of the very few raising a 67 2wd Chevy. Nobody to ask advice of, and doing something very few people are interested in. Does that make me a 'rebel' or an idiot.
