86 C20 Slow build "Chuck"

[chillman88]

Well I was going to update my previous post but it looks like I can't. I'm just adding ideas/plans so I'll be able to find them again when we get going.

The bank has all the paperwork for the new house and they're scheduling the assessment so I should know before long what's up with that. I can't really justify tearing a truck apart right now since I'll have to move it in pieces that way.

Anywho, I've been browsing and it looks like the 64" leafs from a newer truck should be relatively simple to fit in. I'll have to drill holes no matter what because the 79 frame doesn't have the holes for the 56" springs, just the 52". I'll pick up a set from a 3500 with overloads. I'd like to put in a Blazer tank in the rear, but I'll have to figure out the filler neck if I do that.

Toying with tire ideas, I looked at a review of the Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires and I'm thinking they'll be a good choice in the 255/85r16 flavor.

Hey, if I plan it all out, at least I'll have an idea ahead of time!
