It has about a 2 inch drop.... it was my dad's truck.... and what he did back in the day was.. cut a coil off the front springs, and take the overloads off the rear... it slams if i put any kind of a load in the back. Plan to bag it though.....

Been sitting in the garage for over a year, so these pics are what you get until I get a new battery installed, and take some more. Original miles are 50443. The original block froze and busted, from a previous owner's non-up keep. Bought off the local Chevrolet Dealer's showroom floor in 1998, and they sold the truck when it was new. Only put @11,000 miles on it in 12+ years.

wow!
that's a nice truck!!

Thanks man! They're not coys though. They're the boss 338's that i ordered in feburary. I just got the two front ones last week.

Doug Garland · 05-15-2010, 08:18 AM

And here is one I had in 1987-88, hence the old picture. Wish I had it back. Original 6cyl. truck, but had a built 350, 4 speed, 3.42 posi, 4" lift kit, good wood in the bed, chrome roll bar, 15 x 10 wheels with 33/12.50 mudders. A super nice truck. One dent in the top of the cab, where it was driven into a low hanging tree limb at Talladega, at the race. After I sold it, the next owner painted it black. No idea where it is now.

Fastest32 · 05-15-2010, 12:48 AM

There's tons of suburbans at the pick and pulls around here to snag front clips off of. Every once in a while there's one on craigslist

treybo · 05-16-2010, 08:05 PM

Here is my 86 sitting on 20" foose legends.

Nice! How low is it?

Pwallace30 · 05-16-2010, 09:20 PM

I've been thinking about getting a set of Foose Legends, what are the specs of the wheels and your truck (tire size and make, wheel width and backspacing, suspension)? Thanks

baclay9 · 05-18-2010, 01:01 PM

Here is a pic of the 84 I had in High school. I put every dollar I made into this truck and have been kicking myself ever since selling it. The kid that bought it from me totalled it about a month after he bought it.

That is, or was, a sharp truck man.

Don't fret over losing it, just be happy you have one to make even better!

texasfunk · 05-17-2010, 12:03 AM

washed her up!

Ru5tyNut5 · 05-17-2010, 12:38 AM

at a show today in all her rusty glory

treybo · 05-17-2010, 07:03 PM

the truck is lowered with 3 in drop spindles in the front and 5 in in the rear. The wheels are foose 20x8.5 in the front with 14mm offset and 20x10 in the rear with 20mm offset. the front tires are 245/40/20 cooper zeons and the rear tires are 265/55/20. These tires are fairly reasonable areound $700 for a set. I bought the rims off of ebay at a good deal, only $1200 for the wheels and they are $2000 off the website.

68longhorn · 05-17-2010, 08:37 PM

Here is my 86. 305/700R4, 1.25 coils cut out of each side and 1 leaf removed. She's mostly done, I need some clear sidemarkers, and not the ones from LMC.

CaliDude76 · 05-18-2010, 12:00 AM

Hey Longhorn.... what size tires you runnin?
