Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
Yeah, and how bad they were, I'd say they had been rusted for years. I needed new u-bolts regardless of whether or not I was lifting the back up.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
Finally got a replacement panel for my extra cab. Now I just need a fender well, then it can get prepped for a damn paintjob.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
Once I get a fender replacement and have the money, it's gonna start getting sanded down and prepped. I'm gonna have it repainted maroon, and probably go back with a Southern Comfort graphics kit if I can find one.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
I'd see if you can find a pictue of one and take it to the paint shop, they might be able to paint something similar, maybe better. who knows? or if theres a graphics shop near you maybe they can make one? because I believe the last southern comfort decal kits waved bye bye long ago.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
right on/ I'm thinking about getting a picture of one and modifying it, so it wont have any gradient in it. hoping to do stripes like yours but base be black and the stripes a metalic silver. but everytime i see a solid black truck i rethink it...

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
LOL! I was thinking about doing a solid black theme on my '88, but I decided not to. I'm just gonna do maroon on my '88 so it matches the interior.

My U-Bolt setup for my rear-end. Flipped u-bolts, with 2 inch blocks.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
89chevsj: If you're still curious about a 6-lug pattern of the wheels on my '92, they're made by Ultra. Just look up Ultra 86. They make 'em in 6-lug GM. I see them on Craigslist all the time.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
thank you so much, found them new at 56 bucks a piece. truck will hopefully see paint in the next year so I'll try to get them then. looking those up i found a set of ultra bullets, used to have them on one of my old trucks. found it a couple months ago in a junkyard completely distroyed 3 of the 4 wheels in good shape. didn't know they still made the wheels or I'd have grabbed them. dang it!

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
Had no choice. Factory u-bolts are square-top. The ones I put back in are round-top. Plus I didn't wanna use the original pads, because they were caked with rust. So, I found 2 big ass pads I could use at the top, and put the new bolts in flipped.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
God I've got too many engine ideas, but I think I've got one that I'm gonna stick with. One of my best friends talked me into saving up the money for a 6.2 376 LS3. Anyone seen these in '88-'98 body styles? Because I'm reallly thinking about saving up for it.

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
Picked up an '88 Chevy C1500 tonight for parts and scrap. Has a chrome brush guard on the front bumper. Opinions here: Think I should throw it on the '92, or my '88 work truck? It's a toss up. Lol
Looks about like this: So, '92 daily driver, or '88 work truck? Seriously, I can't decide here. :|

Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver
It would be useless though I think. Because the '88 isn't tagged, or insured. All we do is move it around the yard; it's a yard dog. The '92 is my daily driver, so I think it would make more sense.
