Thanks! Everything ive posted so far is up to date so the way the frame sits in post #6 is still the same now. I bought it with rear springs, nitro shocks/stabilizer, raised steering arm, sway bar drop brackets, poly spring bushings, u bolts. They supplied brackets to move my hard brake lines out but im just going to buy extended hoses instead. I also need to get shock boots because they don't supply them anymore. With all that it came out under $700.

Thanks! Ive been real busy lately but not so much on the truck

.

1985-GMC · 12-16-2010, 01:38 AM

OK its been a while but I got some work done on the truck. I finally got around to sandblasting the top of the cab and pulling dents so I don't have to do it while its on the frame, then I got it primed so it wont rust. I had some help from my friend Gary so we went ahead and got the cab bolted onto the frame.

gman64c10 · 12-16-2010, 01:48 AM

yea buddy just wait till we get to pull the 64 cab and set it there to piss off Charles

Mattman2010 · 12-16-2010, 10:47 AM

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-16-2010, 09:29 PM

It looks to be atleast a 6" to me.

1985-GMC · 12-16-2010, 10:01 PM

Yeah it could be a 6" but its too late now. Im not real worried about it anyway, though it should settle down a little once I get some weight on it and wear the springs in some.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-16-2010, 10:16 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it either. I think they look great with a 6" lift and 35's or 36's.

1985-GMC · 12-16-2010, 10:28 PM

Except my 33s are hardly broke in and 16.5s are getting really hard to find so if they look too small my only other option is hummer tires, witch I really don't want to spend money on.

1985-GMC · 01-03-2011, 12:43 AM

Thanks Dude! I was going to do rebel flags first but the more I thought about it the more I figured someone would get offended and take it out on my truck while im not there.

Dudewith4x4 · 01-03-2011, 01:11 AM

Lol. Thats true man. In my old chevy I had a rebel flag headliner and in my DD I have a rebel flag sub box. Im always afraid of the same thing. lol.

Your whole truck is looking good by the way.

1985-GMC · 01-03-2011, 01:29 AM

Yeah I just wanted to avoid any chance of that happening.

Thanks again! Though it doesn't look like much as of right now.
