It has the McGaughys 5"-7" with 2" lowering shackles in the rear. Front - 3" lowering spindles and 2" lowering springs Rear - Flip kit c notch with 2" lowering shackles The lower control arms had to be grinded a bit to run the rally's with 3" lowering spindles to get the full turn radius back. I also added 25mm spacers to push the wheels out closer to the fender. Last edited by SHILOW; 10-29-2014 at 11:38 PM. Reason: forgot info |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
None what so ever, I'll have to check tonite I Just finished the truck and to be honest I changed Front tire sizes 3 times and Rears 2 times during the build to get it like I wanted it, Luckily my local tire guy was willing to work with me during the build as long as I didn't drive on the tires he would send them back and get another size. 18's on the front and 20's on the rear

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Change the front clip to dual headlight or suburban, replace body moulding, and a fresh coat of paint. I'll be happy with that, everything else can be done slowly. The major problem is I can't get the 305 in it working right.
I have a 4.5/6 drop, Dakota digital gauges, energy bushings, and a 6.0L with all the stuff needed for the swap in the garage. They are supposed to be for my 78 stepside, but I have been throwing around the idea of putting it into this one to make it a fun daily and allow me to go wild on the 78. I'm just thinking out loud now.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
I have since replaced the dim looking headlight, I worked a year on the truck and could not remember to replace it. It still worked, but looked bad...
