The rears are 4" dropped springs. I am working on getting the interior into shape now and then I will start on the exterior body work. Mechanically it is solid. All of the electrical was in excellent condotion no hacked up wires under the hood or under the dash. I found a stock stepside rear bumper and widended it to fit snugg on the rear. It still needs a little work to finish....

What hubcaps are on your truck? I really like them better than the originals on mine.

I guess my truck qualifies as "rat rod" at the moment.

Here's one. Trying to decide if I want it to be mine or not. lol

That's a sweet truck! If that is going to be your "rat rod", I really, really want to see your nice truck,

Lol, the pic doesn't show the rust or engine bay or inner bed area. It's not horrible I guess.

Could you skip the interior work and do the bags first? I'd trade my decent interior for milk crates and a boom box if it meant having air bags. in a second.

Boomerswany · 07-25-2009, 12:17 AM

Nice group fellas! I'm trying to get my buddies to identify their "Ratty Rods" as a Grudge-Mods... Original patina'd beauty on the outside - and sleeper mod down deep... Keep them coming i I love Macyak's the best so far... Go! rusty-weed-eaters-go.... I'm to ugly to need to see myself in the reflection of a shiny paint job. Not that they're not nice... but I lovem all.

Spray-Bomb · 07-25-2009, 12:58 AM

hot truck hottruck. are you rear coil?

Hottrucks · 07-25-2009, 09:10 PM

no its bagged with a c notch in the rear and I did spraybombs cupped stock lower up front.... I added 1/8" shim to the uppers and have been running the ass of it ..it drives good but I need to make the rear panard bar a bit longer or put a ful length one on it because it's off set about an inch to the driverside at ride height.....

I'll trade interior for bags! but no worries, all i really want to do is find a decent seat, and run a painted, bare metal floor. should be cheap. then ill bag.

i might use the FBI kit, the 899.00 one, with the dominator bags and viair compressor. Is this kit good? i have noooo previous airbag experiences, so this is all new....

ll____b0t____ll · 07-26-2009, 01:54 PM

I was wanting to know too............

If it were mine I might rais the front or lower the back. Just my $.02.

grayharville · 07-27-2009, 10:03 AM

i bet its cut coil front and stock rear.

if your wanting to save money, you could add like a 2 or 2.5 inch block to the rear, for a cheap drop.

or i think drop rear coils are like, 100 bucks.

*project 67 sub* · 07-27-2009, 01:38 PM

he has leaf springs in the rear, a block would only raise it up higher. he would have to get a drop shackel or lowering leaf springs.
