I keep thinking I should take it off, since it’s not a two tone paint job. Was gonna try to get all the paint work done at once, but I keep changing my mind, and adding more modifications. |

That truck is real purdy, just as-is.

I bought the DJM 3” dropped front A-arms. Used my stock springs, and changed the spindles from the 6-bolt drum drakes, to the 5-bolt disc brakes. Was able to find a huge 1 1/8” sway bar for the front too. My truck didn’t come with one. Bought some blue poly bushings from NAPA, and installed it. Looks brand new! I wanted to go with the 4” rear leaf drop, but no one had them in stock, so I started pulling leafs out. I also had ordered the dropped leaf hangers from DJM, which was supposed to be a 2” drop, so it was pretty easy to do. Ended up having to buy a new set of top leaf springs, and re-aching them. (Would have been way cheaper to just get the dropped leaf kit in the end.) No rear notch. Bought a set of Cal-Tracs, and installed them at the same time I had the rear end out... Detroit TruTrac, 3:73 gears, Moser axles, Moser diff cover, and all new seals installed. |
