Re: Project. Long Overdue
I'd say your truck would make any phone take good pics. That thing is gorgeous dude! Stance is perfect.

Re: Project. Long Overdue
Thanks Dude...I'm looking at going to the Spokane good guys this year, if I can get the wife on board with it. It's still to early to tell but I'm going to try and make it.
Your truck is looking good.

Re: Project. Long Overdue
So I painted the centers of the wheels a cast grey......What do you guys think? I was getting tired of so many polished torque thrusts around.

The rear has flip kit w/C notch, 2" block, and a two springs removed from the leaf pack. I must of had the back apart 10 time to get it sitting where I wanted it. The only problem I have in the rear is the center section will hit the bottom of the wood if I hit a big enough bump. I have had me and two buddy's in the truck at once and we are all 200 lbs, and I hit the pavement a few times, but its not to bad. I did have to put a mini-tub in the bed to get rid of tire rub on the inside, the rear wheels are 15x10 W/6" BS and a 275/60/15 tire. the fronts are a 15x7 W/ 225/60/15 tire. I have always liked the drag race look with as much tire as possible under the back, so thats what I was going for. Thanks for asking and if you ever have any more questions I'm happy to help.

Re: Project. Long Overdue
Thanks for the excellent details. I guess I never thought about some of these old trucks having leaf springs.
