Re: 1979 gmc
Looks like a solid truck and a good start for a project. If you do drop it that low make sure you replace the shocks with the "lowered" versions and run a 255 or less on the front wheels. I think a altitude adjustment and a set of BFGs would be nice on that ride.
Just FYI I lowered my '80 the spare tire carrier bolt started making contact with the pavement on small inclines and some speed bumps so if while you are under there installing the flip kit you might want to cut an inch or so off the end of the bolt OR remove the carrier assembly completely.
