Re: lifted 4x4
Well it has a heavily modified 350 small block that was putting out around 380hp last time I took it to a shop to check but there has been more work done since then so I hope it's around 400 right now. Lift is at 6". I'll show you the chassis tomorrow when there is light. It's in pretty decent shape for it being so old. As clean as it looks in that picture, the inside of the bed is a totally different story. There are a load of scratches all over because I still use it like a truck... I'm thinking about getting it rhino lined on the sides but I'd still keep the wood bed. I'm going to replace the wood with new wood and whenever I use it as a truck I'll just throw down a heavy duty bed mat on the wood so it does not get damaged while the sides will be rhino lined. Otherwise the paint is pretty new as you can see. If you watch the video you will notice that there is new interior seating and the cab itself has new paint to match the exterior. There is not much left for me to do on her. Future plans include:
Handles in the back of the cab to assist in getting in the bed via the step sides. Replacing wooden bed with new wood and getting a bed cover when used. Rhino lining the sides of the bed so there are no more ugly scratches. Replacing the old exhaust with new pipes. Converting parking lights to be used as turn signals for safety reasons. Getting the very hard to get off grime on my rims either cleaned by some heavy duty crap or getting them chromed over. Wiring in tiny fans on the top sides of the dash for both passenger and driver sides to work as make shift air conditioning. *Unless it looks bad* Replacing entire cab light components. *Mine wont seen to get to work* Replacing current speakers with better quality ones. Getting a new stereo since the old one died. That's about it I guess... After that, she will be perfect! Well, maybe not perfect but still very nice for such an older truck. ![]() |

Re: lifted 4x4
almost looks like my set up on the 78, the only diffrence is that i got 4" block and i think either 2 or 4" springs, im planing on taking out the blocks and making it a 8" true suspension lift. wouldnt you just be able to powder coat the springs and that would take care of the discoleration or rust for a good few years?

It all depends on how u drive, width of tires and the offset wheels u have. my truck with 6" and 1" body will only clear 35's, technically they wont clear them. My front tire will rub the fender on full flex while the tire is turned. to me what good is a big tire is u cant turn or flex. If u stay on level ground u can probably run much bigger tires then the next guy. All depends on ur application. I like the look of a big tire filling the fender well, u just have to keep it on the street or limit ur flex. I have mine set up for more flex. |

Very true...it all depends on what your building your rig for.....for me its more of an attention getter, my days of mud boggin' and rock crawling are over....don't get me wrong it still sees the back country i just don't feel the need to have a truck that can max out an rti ramp.
