Thanks Wiggins, Those are American 200s mags, mine are vintage 70's era, but they still make them today. Commonly known as Daisys or Coke Bottle mags.

Working on the 86 to fix some small items but she turns some heads when I take her out.

What size tires are those BF G's . Thinking of same for my 84 with the original rally rims. and cost if you don't mind?

Here is my 84' still in progress.

The stance on that truck is perfect, I love the rake. What's been done to get it there? The wheels look fantastic on it too.

camshaftgsxr - give me a minute and I'll look at how many 45 bends there are and how many (and what length) straight pieces there are. I don't know part numbers because they installed the kit on the power tour at one of the stops. Once you have the number of each time of piece you should be able to find what you need to duplicate it though. I'll let you know.

WOW! BEAUTIFUL truck......simply beautiful. I wish I had one that looked that good stock. Man that thing is nice, I'm jealous! The '87 is no slouch, but that '86 is super sick.

Thanks man, one full coil cut in the front and one leaf taken out of the rear springs. Wish I could take credit for this but my good friend Jeff that I bought it from did the deal.

Pics don't do the 87 justice... Thanks for the kind words man!

im not sure. but we'll soon find out.

Andy, It's got 2-1/2" spindles with a full coil cut on the front, and shackles and hangers in the back. With the tailgate, back bumper, and tool box it set about an inch lower. I'm glad you like it, but it's just too high in the back for me, so I'm going to flip it real soon and get it a little more level, and it will ride better I'm not putting the tool box back or the heavy bumper. Thanks for the compliment. It doesn't compare to some of the beautiful trucks here.

I don't know if this has been clarified, but I am going to guess the trucks on board are 81-82 models and the badge on the tailgate could also be an ESC badge. I had one on my 82..

Speaking of my 82.. the truck on the bottom front looks just like it..

Love that pic.

'79 Scottsdale K10, 350, TH350, NP205, 10bolt front, 14bolt rear, 38" dry rotted Swampers, 4" suspension, 3" homemade body lift from red oak blocks and yes it was put through years of Hell and they never busted or rotted.
Not much to look at these days, but years ago she'd clean up nice. my first love. The jackstands keep the rims out of the dirt.
I've got alot of pics before digital age of me in my teens in this truck, only if she could talk. lol

My spindles are Belltech 1-1/4" rotors. I had to trim the lower a-arm quite a bit, and the spindles where the caliper goes, but I can run stock 8' rallyes or the Daisys. Thanks


I dig both of those red trucks, they are really nice.

[83chevyman]

this is my 1983 chevy k10. with a 96 Buick road master 350 engine. 3/4 ton suspension. i will be doing some work to it in the future.
