Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
It still has a rake but not as bad now. Since I got 215s on the front its a little lower. 27'' in front and 29'' in rear. I put new shoes on the super. I went back to stock with hubcaps and whitewalls. I like the look more now.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I also put this gasket on the water neck and so far its dry.
![]() Trai I got it off Ebay for a total of 55.00. I think I should have gotten the super track bar. But it feels good right now. We''ll see.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I got the front aligned today. So maybe my new tires won't wear out.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I've got 8's in the rear. 6 or 6.5's in the front. I've heard the fronts are van ralleys. all kinds at pull a part.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I would drive the stepper if I had the exhaust done. It hangs down too low since I lowered the rear. I would drive the super but it doesn't have a good stereo and would cost more in gas. So I'll probably load up the Cavalier and bring it.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
Trai, depending on the back spacing, I think they would rub if they had the same as stock 8's.
Brian, I also have a pool table to redo too. among other things.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
Pretty sure the backspacing is exactly the same as the 8's. Almost positive.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I've decided to not go big block so I posted it for sale in the parts section. I took the camper shell off. I only put it on to haul a console stereo that I bought from methodtomymadness. Good thing too because it rained good on the way back.

Re: Thelonerifes 72 stepper
I know it takes away from the looks of the truck but I need to keep things dry sometimes. I won't leave it on all the time. Only when I need it.
