Re: Call me crazy!
Hang in there fizzle , You've got a better driver than mine with you having power steering etc. Get the drop springs and sway bar in and you'll cruising a lot more comfortable.
Mines stock 230 3 on tree I put air bags under and that alone made it more user friendly. Btw mine is a daily driver and yes I've questioned myself about this but when I look under the hood of a modern vehicle it scares the **** out of me $$$ if something goes wrong. |

Re: Call me crazy!
Good thing you came to your senses. A while back my wife made me sell my 2dr Hoe and regret it. But guess what I found this 86 and made her a deal on a new vehicle for her and she bought it. I just didn't tell her when the new vehicle was coming. lmao. . . .

Re: Call me crazy!
I have the small truck and it was fine at first but squeezing my 6'5" frame into an S10 is starting to suck. Driving my 65 Jimmy when its done and it will never be done because there is always an upgrade. It will be more pleasurable for me and one thing for sure if I get hit from the front or rear I know the damage will be slight compared to that of my S10. Fo your starting with a nice truck and your adding to it, they have aftermarket windshield wiper conversions and its it too cold in Cali put on a hoody lol like its ever cold down where your at. Eastwood sells a dynamat type product that if you only have rubber floormats will be easy to install underneath it. If you want better gas mileage change out the rear gears or when you get more experience do the 5.3 or 6.0 swap.
There is always a way to improve things...
