Before and After pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Yukon Jack** · 06-03-2002, 10:07 AM

Here are some before and after pics of my truck.

First, here is how it looked when I bought it.

This next pic is after adding a 4" lift.

Finally, here is the truck with about 7 1/2" of rear lift and 5-6" of front lift.

My favorite after pic is this one, but I definitely need to get some offroad pics.

never ending prodject huh jack? just about the time i do something to my truck i think of something else i'd like to do or change. I'm thinking mine may grow some before next year.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-03-2002, 12:49 PM

Don't leave me hanging - what height are your thinking about. New tire size too? You just got those tires replaced didn't you?

Mudder · 06-03-2002, 01:25 PM

gonna go to 38's and a 6" lift. new springs all around. maybe some mickey thompsons claws or something different than what i have been running. it gets pretty stale looking at the same thing all the time.

**68SWB4x4** · 06-03-2002, 02:03 PM

looking better and better!
the flatbed sure made it look ALOT better

diehardrider · 06-07-2002, 12:18 AM

breeh · 06-07-2002, 01:12 AM

Mudder67, do you have some pics of your truck posted somewhere? I would love to get a better look at it.

Mudder · 06-07-2002, 03:17 PM

**Yukon Jack** · 01-12-2008, 09:38 AM

Just thought I would dig up an ancient post of mine since it needs updating

This is roughly 10" of lift, which hopefully will go down to 8" this winter.

Looks killer!!

bad_turbo · 01-12-2008, 03:17 PM

is that 1/2 ton suspension under there?

**special-K** · 01-13-2008, 12:56 AM

Just keeps gettin`better.

vtblazer · 01-13-2008, 02:48 AM

Whoa...took ya awhile to update the original thread huh?

Nope, 3/4 ton. Dana 44 front and Eaton HO52 with factory No-Spin, both 4.56 ratio.

Big plus is the front axle is being replaced with a Dana 60 this winter. I picked up this beauty and it is happily giving up it's front axle.

Talk about a bargain, I got it for $1,000 only missing the bbc. I sold the tranny and transfer case and driveshafts to a good buddy for $300 and a couple weeks ago his brother called saying he blew up the rear axle in his plow truck. He bought this truck from me minus the front axle for $300 so my Dana 60 price is down to $400!

SAWEEET

**special-K** · 01-13-2008, 05:11 AM

You`re keeping it single,right?Did you keep the cab lights?You need "30" emblems now.

**Yukon Jack** · 01-13-2008, 06:04 AM

Yep, my buddy that bought the tranny and t/c has a Dana 60 srw front 4.10 axle that is going in his 70 K30 (he converted the C30 to K30) and needs it to be drw and I, of course, need srw but this one is a 4.56 drw so were gonna swap the outer stuff so we both end up with what we need. Can't beat that!

Nope, didn't keep the cab lights nor the 30 emblems - wouldn't want to draw any unnecessary attention to myself when I'm driving my truck

abebummy26 · 01-13-2008, 04:03 PM

Were those even the right emblems since its a peiced together truck?

**Yukon Jack** · 01-15-2008, 05:59 AM

No idea if those emblems were correct for that truck. All I was concerned about was the Dana 60 and confirming it had the correct gears for me.

69GMC4x4sdca · 01-15-2008, 06:13 AM

Started this project in 2005 goal is to have it going this summer.454 ,4spd 14 bolt rear,44 front,vintage air a/c.

DieselEater · 01-15-2008, 06:32 AM

Any old 1-ton BBC 4X4 is what I call a REAL TRUCK......

One day when I build my shop....I'm gonna put together REAL-TRUCKS.COM....I will specialize in just what we have....and sell them to people who will thoroughly enjoy them, but don't have the resources, or capability to build their own...

REAL TRUCKS!!!
