Re: My 88 buildup on a tight budget

yea I thought of it but sourcing the correct parts around here sucks. Hardly any junkyards and if you do find one it's for new vehicles. I'm only looking at doing a body lift, crank and block if need be, that way it's cheap. If I went with a bigger lift like a 6 inch I'd pop for the cepek/extreme susp. 6.5 kit and crank it up, to about 8 inch or so, level the back up, and maybe do a BL and then throw some huge meats under it. It wouldn't be very practical then though lol. Right now we're gonna have to start DD'ing it for work to haul tools and what not. Plus it gets better milegae then my dads 84 c10 with a 350 carb'd motor.

I know the BL's are cheap and had a guy offer me his when he takes it off, just pay shipping, but I gotta buy tires for sure before it goes on the truck. It would be ridiculous with a 3 inch lift and m tires now LOL. I seen some pics on FSC with a 3 inch and 265's man they looked like 215's they were so small.
