Same ole pic. It kind of disgusts me. I never have any new pics because I just can't get time to work on it, lol. I am getting ready to take it off the frame and make a shorty out of it.I have to get the 69 on the road first.

There is a lowered GMC is see around here from time to time. I have seen it get progressively lower and better looking. The last time I saw it, it was at a local car show with airbags and 20 inch wheels and it looked awesome! It makes me glad that I don't have a shortbed. I will snap some pictures for you the next time I see it, but don't hold your breath because it's been about 6 months since I've seen it.

That Longhorn is just too cool. I really don't like chopped tops but that top makes the longbed look even longer...or is it? I love it!!!!!

Pierce,what is the wheelbase on your GMC? Man thats loooooong! 69 longhorn.

70c10 · 04-12-2002, 07:13 AM

72LWB & ftw80,
Did you guys use lowering springs?. If so what for the front and waht for the rear. All these trucks posted look great. I'm thinking of dropping mine 2 and 4.

72chevyLWB · 04-12-2002, 11:50 AM

In that pic I used a drop shackle and removed the over load on the middle leaf spring. I only had a 4 spring setup some have 5 though. Right now I flipped the axle and it sits the same.

that blue GMc surely isnt just 133 in wb...that looks like way to much room between line and wheel

ftw80 · 04-16-2002, 03:18 PM

lux hauler · 04-16-2002, 05:39 PM

It looks like the pic (of the blue longhorn) has been doctored up some. If you look at the trees in the back, right above the bed stakes, you can see two branches that are exactly the same......truck looks kinda cool though.

The blue longhorn also has an extra middle bed stake. Definately a bogus pic.
