Re: My 86 build
Sweet. Are you going with 2 x5 or 2x 4? The body is only 1-1/4 inches above the frame. I went with 2x 5 cause I only did 2.5 z. Im gonna have a hard time laying frame now I'm thinking. Hopefully the pirterbuilts get me another 1-1/2 inches lower than the stock lower arms....

Re: My 86 build
Looking good sir!
I took a quick glance through the pages where you installed the rear disks, but didn't see anything on the parking brake setup. Do you have that hooked up? I'm looking at getting the same rear disk kit for my truck, but wasn't quite sure what I'm going to do about hooking up the e-brake. Also, were you able to reuse your factory brake line fittings, or did you bend up new lines with new fittings for the Wilwood calipers? |

Re: My 86 build
Stealth for sure
it sure makes the lights stand out try switching the high and low beam bulbs, just bend the corner tabs in the buckets i've done it,looks cool,would look cool on a lowered truck i think even more

Re: My 86 build
decided to work on my doors today instead of welding in the 2x4 on my frame...welded in the mirror holes, a coat of filler, a good sanding, and some primer and paint...
