Finally got a bit of work done!

Well it may not be much, but I really needed to do something to the truck to keep me going ( since i can't drive it till I fix the cab). So I went ahead and finally installed my 4" drop springs in the rear. I also took out the front coils from a 78 Chevy donner suspension that I will cut as a temp thing so I can level off the truck and make it look better as it sits there.

Here is the before pic.


Here is a dirty after picture. It doesn't look that low but compared to the before picture it dropped a fair amount.

And a second pic

That is pretty much exactly what I want to do to it. Those torque thrusts just suit that truck perfectly. The only difference is that I want to paint the truck orange and the top ( A, B pillars and roof) white.



EDIT:


You know, on second thought after looking at this pic over and over again, that green, lowered and with the torque thrust looks pretty damn good,

Thanks Dinut for confusing me more, LMFAO.

P.S. I already cut some coils down for the front ( cut one full coil off). THey came from a 78 chevy, but seem pretty damn thick. One way to find out is to just install them. Worse case is that I have to cut more off them, LOL.
