Dropped burb pics......finished finally

[texassquarebodies]

Had this 87' burb for three years and have only driven it a few times. Got it off of CL for a song with a bad trans. I think it to have 225k on it. It had a stack of receipts from all the maintenance done to it. I could never get it to sit just right when I lowered it. This is the third and final time.

Has djm dropped spindles and stock springs up front. 2" bell tech shackles and 1 spring pulled from saggy spring pack. It sits 1 3/4" higher in the rear. Has Koni shocks and new tires. 7" rallys up front with 225/70 and 275/60 on rear with 275/60 tires.

I am not going to paint it. Going to drive it. Need tags & insp and a few details to be ready. I drove it an hour yesterday. So much fun!

Very cool, I see you raised it up a little. I bet it's more road/driver friendly now.

I want it lower, but have single cab dually project im workin on and thats where my money is going for now. Like this, I can drive it now. Its very comfortable. I want buckets in my other trucks now after driving this for an hour this weekend with them. With 3:73 gears and overdrive it just purrs down the road.

This is just a low budget extra ride I threw together. I have very little tied up in it. It was too nice to part out. I have a sweet spot for tbi.

Looks good Tony, you are right burbs and blazers are hard to make sit right. Any pics of the dually?

I agree, WAY too nice to part out. And TBI is icing on the cake.

Cochino12.................here are the pics. I am actually taking two trucks and making one. I looked and looked for a 1987 1 ton single cab dually with a SBC and automatic. I have only found one in all my years of CL. These two trucks fell in my lap the same week. So I decided to build one. Im taking the 3/4 and making it a 1 ton dually.

I never see dropped single cab duallys on the web. I wanted to be different.
Its going to be all different colors on purpose. I want it to be ugly and get peoples attention. I will have my business name and number on it. Im thinkin tax write off Im running steels for now until I find a sweet deal on some used Alcoas.

Did you ever get that gooseneck plate out??? NO!!!! I wouldn't say he knows what he's doin. But he's not bad for only being 18. I am only nice to him because I want a ride in his Lot Lizard CC.

You told me you weren't buying any more trucks. You lied. What happened to saving your money to build a shop??? The truck habit is hard to get rid of. I have a torch now, MAN......and working gauges Donor for what???? One day, you will have as many trucks as I do. I found a burb close to me thats calling my name.

[grayharville]

Im just getting it for the drivetrain. Can't pass it up. It'll be stripped and hauled off. Im goin in half with my buddy, he just wants the bed and back glass. Score.

You have atleast 7 burbs that I can think of, and you hauled 2 off. I think you need a few more haha

If I wanted this exact stance but about 1.5 -2" lower what should I do? I already have Belltech spindles bought but nothing else.
