To get the photos here simply hover over your picture on photobucket....it'll come up with four options under...simply left click on the link that says IMG code and it will copy it automatically...then click in the reply window and hit control-V and it'll paste it here for you and when you post it will show the picture...

Like this....

Nice ride. Would be cool to get some trucks togather for a run this spring. There are a few other guys on here too.

Drop spindals and springs on today. Since the ball joints were new not long ago I used them. Tearing the 5 lug disc brake and rotor assembly apart for rebuild and installation tomarrow. Truck was on hold till I finished painting a friends chopper. Pics at photobucket clutch44. If anyone can upload to my thread? Thanks

Generally you'll need to copy the pics from your phone to your PC, run 'em through a re-sizer (so they aren't too large of a file) and then attach them to your messages.
Nonetheless, even without pictures- I can imagine what is going on in your garage and think it's gonna be kick ass! Also, your question about tire/wheel fitment is totally dependant on what the backspacing of the wheels are. The overall size of the rims and tires should fit just fine, but you could run into trouble if the backspacing is wrong. Generally a 20x8.5 front fits real nice with around 4.25" of bs. In the rear with a 20x10 rim- most guys run 4.5-5.0 bs.

That would require a pc and service here at the house. No thanks. Cable and dish can kiss my a**!! Anyway, the drop spindals are not drilled and taped for the dust covers. Who does and who does not run dust covers and why?

The front end is down on the ground. Still need to install new brake lines, sway bar, and shock boots. Poppen the bed tomarrow to start dropping the rear. I like the 5 inch drop in the front with the new wheels and tires and happy with how it all went togather.

Posted via Mobile DeviceC notch installed, frame nice and square. Soon to be back on the ground. Received shock boots today, as this is a daily driver, thought important to protect the seals on the McGaughy drop shocks.

Posted via Mobile Devicebecause I don't know anyone that likes old trucks that doesn't like old bikes so I thought I would share this. Its also why my truck was not in the garage. When my buddy brought his bike over last summer to weld his steering stops back on ( hence the dents in the front of tank ) I said to him "hey, let's reset your tins this winter and let me shoot some paint on this thing" he said "sure". So we did, and since he is a great guy and a good friend, I did it for free. What are friends for anyway. My truck someday will get the same treatment.
