Re: Lets see some before and after pics

I would have to run 275/25/24 in front, for me to run a 4.5 drop in front... I put my stock coils back on today... I looked at a height chart 265/35/22 is just .5 shorter than 275/25/24

Re: Lets see some before and after pics

Mine looks almost the same. The first pic is before I buffed it out, the second is how it sits now. I have changed the engine, trans, interior, and A/C out, though.

Re: Lets see some before and after pics

My truck actually went through these three steps (since I am only allowed one at a time. The '79 had an LT1 in it, that got sold and I bought the dually (that was going to get the CCSB treatment), that got traded to Scoti for the '74. Whew!

Beautiful restoration RandyP. The color match wheels are a nice touch.

Re: Lets see some before and after pics

Last truck I built still wasn't quite done. Consider there's $600 into it.. Total and I'm only 17. I did all the work myself including building the front spring mounts.... Wheels and tires weren't on in the after pics. I can't wait to get my crewcabs body done to post up.
