Hey how close ir ur differential to your chassis?? in the rear.

[mr mike]

well i just put in a 2 1/2 drop block in to night and it is about 1 3/4" from frame to diff Ill post some new pic next time i get it out.

[mr mike]

Well It looks like I need a new clutch the old one is gone. I am going to put in a stage 2, any input would be nice on what to get

[wp silverado]

out of curiousity what trans are you running?

[mr mike]

Its the stock 3 speed

[mr mike]

ok I got the clutch in and now i need your help I am looking for some shocks but the kicker is that they have to be 8" fully compressed I looked at drop shocks but they do not go that short. If any one know a way to reallocate the shocks let me know Ill post some new pic soon. I got my bed cover on and my new rear bumper on and now i am working on getting rid of the bucket seats and putting in a bench seat so i can take the kids for a ride.

[mr mike]

I got the new door handles on the push button starter in and so on but the pic like i said i would the truck is so dirty i was out driving it
I am such a ho

[kevncar]

Push button starter? any pics of that? I've always thought of putting a push button starter behind the cigarette lighter as a sort of security device. Trucks lookin good, keep up the good work.

[lumpy81]

Good job, I love the way this truck has turned out.

[C.W]

Very nice job so far. Still no rub issues in the front, even when turning or braking?

Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

No no rubbing Ill get some pic of the push button starter I put it In the same spot as the key was and moved the key out. I am going to get rid of the key all together and put in a kill switch with a custom key. I just got the truck back from getting the front end lined up and he told me if i can get it up about a 1/2 inch he could get it right on but i think i can live with it being off a tad

The bed cover is off a old s-10 a buddey was going to pitch it so i told him that i would take it and try it so that was a free b

[davebloomer]

Did any one ever gut the stock lights and retro fit L.E.D's in them.???

[mr mike]

So i decided to gut the inside of the truck It had the original sound mat and the rubber floor mat and then some green carpet cut to fit and then one more layer of tan carpet on top of that lol. I will be putting in some new carpet that i got from brother and a dodge bench seat that ill be picking up this week from the junk yard (all but mint) thank you cash for clunkers. Ill post pic soon.
