Re: My 86 build
I've been pluggin' away with the body work, I started it shortly after I finished dropping it, the usual spots, cab corners, rockers wheel arches and I also started shaving everything off of it that I could. I had bought a '90 gmc parts truck mostly for the wheels and robbed it of some other parts like the steering wheel and tilt and shift levers. and also the serpentine setup that I still haven't put on yet. Which brings me to this point...

Re: My 86 build
So thats basically the way it looked last year before I had put it away for the winter. This spring I started working on it every weekend. I bought a set of Airlift 2600 bags for the front and made myown upper and lower bag mounts out of 1/4 steel plate, i'm still running it off of a schrader valve till I get something fab'd up for the back end. I lowered the rear about 2" more by moving the sping hangers. I don't have pics of the work but you've seen it done before anyway. Here's some pics of the front aired out and my fuel filler relocated to the bed floor....

Re: My 86 build
...also got my brackets for my serpentine conversion beadblasted the other day. I'm not 100% sure that I'm gonna do it. It might look really cool , but it might look too cluttered up as well, but I would really like to have A/C someday....

Re: My 86 build
That Dash is totally amazing!!!! can you put up a forum showing how to do it. Hell man I'd even pay if you could do one for me. I'd rather learn how to do it myself but WOW one of those dashes is way to nice not to try to get however a man can
