Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Yesterday, oil change, clean air filter, add 2" blocks in the rear (from Boris) then did about 70 miles of driving and then washed it.
Today added a front anti sway bar, then drove it, these lastest upgrades made a huge difference in driving. A rear sway bar may be on it's wanted list.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Made this out of stuff from around the house. It's gonna ger a piano hinge and some magnetic "keep it closed" and a hidden "opener".

I made it to house a bucks-up Pioneer electronics set up that used to be mine and my friend is giving back. DVD player, Nav, etc. I'll also punch
holes in the "door" for a white faced clock and a manifold vacuum gauge, I think.

Not sure if I'll do it or not, but I'm also always looking for a smart place for Mr. Smith to ride.

I HATE digging around with a spagetti dinner of wiring in close quarters.. So, I'll be able to open the door and get at everything.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I primed my inner fender wells front and rear, radiator support, bed cross braces. I am borrowing my old 72 tomorrow and going on an 8 hour cruise to pick up new bed sides and tail gate. Paint is real close

Are those rally rims? What size are the back ones and did you have to narrow the frame?

Yes they are rally's & no I did not narrow frame. I made the back wheels from 15 x 15 blanks from speedway & the centers from a set donor rally wheels. New wheel blanks have no provisions for trim rings, so I made up a set of fake bead locks, welded them to rims so I could mount mirrored SST trim rings to. Rear end is a Dana 60 I narrowed & then hung with my own triangulated 4 link & coil overs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Coming down to the final wire. Bleeding the brakes, picking up the drive shaft tomorrow, sending to the exhaust shop early next week and test fitting the 20" wheels. Should be on the streets of Colorado within the next few weeks, just in time for summer.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
