Re: my 80 build
I forgot I started this thread, I added a few things to my truck, Cragar street Stars 15x7 with 215/70 in front and 15x8 with 275/ 60 in back, and removed the drop shackels, because it was lower in the rear than the front even with taller tires in the back, and it rode like a wagon, a power steering gear box, it handles a lot better, about to add air horns, a new billet grille, new brake calipers, because right now I have light duty calipers and heavy duty rotors not a good thing, In the future I might add 91 blazer grille, amp and more speakers, dress up the motor with new pulleys and components, shave the fire wall, add a/c,
