Dropped with spindles and coils in the front, flipped in the back. 255/60-15 all around on 15x6.5 rally's (need a set of 8's for the back). Going for a really simple "dropped stock work truck" look when I'm done. Just finished the 1973 grille today. When I get the bodywork done, going to shoot it a dark hunter (or British racing) green. Got a build thread going - "my first build thread - 1980 stepside". Hope to get it back outside for some better, more current pics tomorrow...

nice truck man!

First post, here's my 79.

Top photo is when I got it 6 months ago. Bottom is it's current state with subtle changes.

How about a side shot of this beautiful truck?

dpruim · 03-03-2014, 02:59 PM

This is as much of a side shot as I have right now. This is before I took it down another inch in the front. It's covered in snow now.

Nice lookin unit. Patina is just right and those wheels are sweet! Bonus points awarded if you remember what they are. They look like American Gamblers, or maybe Progressive something?
