Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project

It was a tough weekend, had some stuff that came up that took me away from this project until this afternoon. It took just about all day to get all the mods done and get the wheels mounted.
Here are the fuzzy pictures:

I had to cut about 3/8" off the spindle so the modified dust cover would fit. I didn't have to redrill the cotter pin hole (cut it right to the edge).



Had to cut the tabs off the front center caps and use silicone to hold it in place. Front finished, we painted the caliper red, just thought would look better than rust.


Started the 2" drop shackle install

Cut the clearence in the bed brace. I plan on coming back to this and boxing it in with sheetmetal.


Finished for now:


snuck down to the gas station to try out the new shoes.
it drives great BTW.
