Good to see another Utahn up in here! I started with a 3/4 drop and as soon as I did it I had wished I went more. Now when I get mine back together I'll be sittin with a 5.5/7 drop.

Hey, Big Rat. Nice to find another Utahn here as well. I'm in Clearfield. We should get together sometime and compare notes. I just posted a reply to "bohmankid" on his 78 SWB, Apparently he's here in Utah also. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=579636

It's a shame there aren't more 73 - 80 models here. they seem to out numbered by about 10-1 by the newer models. I'm thinkin' the "Cash for clunkers" program wasn't such a good idea.

This is my 1979 Chevy Silverado. Just bought it a week ago, and ready to get to work on it!

Yeah buddy, pretty good truck to start with I'd say. Interior looks like it could be nice. More pics?

mud.man.rj · 03-28-2014, 06:36 PM

Good point on the cash for clunkers BADAZ, I went to a car show with around 1,000 vehicles last summer and put my big lifted 81 Gm in it with a few other friends rides and was pretty much the only 4wd square body, were a couple 2wds, that was it like 3 of us, to many rusted out and were crushed, sad.

Sweet truck! You have a nice setup and plenty more potential for that thing.

I spy a Cummins. Don't see very many of those in lowered half tons.

While I'm here, I might as well post a pic of my ride. It's a 1978 with a 454, th400, 4.11 gears, 17" Coys wheels, 5" drop in back and 5" drop in front.

Correct, I only know of a couple, and one of them has been parted out.

thx bohmankid. I plan on doing a lot more to it this summer. your 2wd fleetside is looking pretty sharp as well. man there's nothing like a round eye. I think you should ditch those mirrors though. it would make it look a little faster my opinion. nice 4x4 to.

Work in progress. Thinking about turning it into some like a rat rod.
Keep the patina. Sand it a little. Polish the wheels.and buy New chrome bumpers and mirrors.
