3/5 would look good on that truck. spindles in the front, and flip the rear with a C notch for extra clearance. about those clear tails... didnt realize you had the gate trim on there, makes it look a lot better. how about some silver flames?

being a '77 its probably got 8 leaf springs, so the drop will be 6"... you could go 4/6 with 2.5" spindles and 1.5" springs.
