Re: 1979 Scottsdale build
Scoti is right on. We had talked a while back, and he had given me some suggestions to get the stance I was looking for. He hit the nail on the head, all the way down to the tire sizes. Our trucks have a lot of similar drop components, his is 2" lower than mine front and rear. I have a 2.5" spindle and 1 coil cut, to his 3" and more cut off of the coil, and mine is just flipped, where his has a flip and shackles. The pictures make mine look more than 2" higher, but the tape said differently. His truck really has a great vibe to it in person. The first time I saw it, I knew that is what I wanted (well, maybe not quite that low.....yet). I did buy the shackles too, just in case. This is my "training" drop, I guess. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I was second guessing my choice of the rallys, but the drop really pulled it together. I have a feeling my car is going to be sitting still a lot more now.
Trevino, I will probably be driving my truck most of the week. Stop by anytime.
Scoti, I vote Vintecs, too. But maybe later. My mind was already turning about all of the other stuff I can find to do until then. Who knows what might happen. We need to find a way to stop your oil leak, now. I'm ready to throw down on your red truck!
