Thanks!, I'd love to get a dropmemeber for it but Ill probably have to settle on a 4/7 drop with some grey Coys c-5s, and a overdrive 700r4 swap .

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

It's about a 4" in the front and a 5" in the back.

But these are only 20's on the truck now....22's from the build thread were too big for a static suspension.

These pics aren't the greatest b/c of the lighting that day. Will try for better pics this weekend.

thanks for the info! I think it's a great stance. What size tires were you running on the 22s? I plan to run 265/35/22 up front and 285/35/22 in rear, just curious why you say they were too big for a static drop

The rims are Ridler 695's, 20x8.5. Tires are 245/40zr20. Backspacing is supposed to be 4.75". I think I am going to throw a 1" spacer on the rear.


The best I can guess on my drop is 5/6", it was done while my Uncle owned it. But by going by the leaf pack and axle tube the back is 6".

Thanks for the comments guys, I am gonna try to squeeze out another inch with the static drop. We'll see.
