That color combo on that 80' is amazing. And that 80' front end that seems to be least desirable around here really looks awesome on this truck. Gosh, look at that chrome

We really need to get that guy to be a member on here. His truck shows up here A LOT!

Hey Primrrd nice truck, I just realized that although my truck isn't. I personally will soon be considered an "antique"

[primrrd]

ha! thanks.
Yeah if 30 is the mark for human antiques I am ready for the scrap heap!!!!

I like the little things you've done to your truck, if your going for a suede look, try olive green or dull red or midnight blue.

[primrrd]

hmm the midnight blue appeals to me..
your 91 burb looks to be a "custom" upgraded by a company like Mark III or similar.
those were big time in texas in the 90's for sure. I was in the body shop industry then and some of them would be really tough to get info on for matching colors, etc.
I mention mark111 bc they were the best at knowing , by vin, what upgrades and colors and striping used for that vehicle.
I even had a mark111 dodge conversion van around that time.
Hope you get it running good again soon. Any update on the stalling issue?

I think they just went in and cleaned a bunch of stuff up. It was closed, and the new one started on the same day I believe.

hey man luv the stance on your truck what is the drop on it i a put a 2/4 drop on mine and i am going to run 20s on mine would like to run twenty twos though but your truck is very clean and nice.

[primrrd]

If you were referring to my primered hunk...
it is a stylin concepts 5/5.
- front is 3" spindles and 2" springs. (i removed the bump stops altogether- after 4 or 5 years my lower control arms are toast)
- the rear is a simple flip.
the wheels are 17 and big n little tires give it a little rake.

the mount that holds the bumpstop on mine is crushed, and i was thinking of just taking the whole mount and bumpstop out, do you have any problems? hit it a lot?

[primrrd]

2 problems with removal.
1. it gets a little bouncy and the tires will rub fenderwells on a big dip
2. no steering stops from lock to lock, so you have to be gentle.

not too much crossmember bottoms, but a few hard hits on potholes etc have
wreaked havoc on the leading ege of my control arms...
