Thanks! Long time, no see. That Dick Cepek light bar's going on this one when I get ready to stick that roll bar I got from ya into the 87. How's things up north? Sick of the rain yet?

We've been deluged, pumped about 5ooo gallons of flood water out of our garden this week.

toomanytoyz · 06-13-2008, 03:13 PM

Plenty of Rain Here Also, Matter a Fact Coming Down Pretty Good as of Now, I Think that's a Good Call to put the Bar on this Truck. Just Got Home from visiting my Buddies Shop & Checking Progress on the Stepper, Prolly start Paint 1st of Next week. I'm so Ready to be Done with this Truck...............

I wish except for the paying for gas part, it's a 350/350 set-up with a edelbrock intake, HEI, and true dual exhaust. P/O was a master of Disney technology so I've had to fix some of his Mickey Mouse repairs. sheet metal is in good shape exception of cab corners and a few dings all very repairable.

I posted my truck in here before, but I just got finished with the drop, so here it is again. 4/6 drop from western chassis. 2.5" spindles, 1.5" springs, 4" drop leafs, and 2" shackles. also installed belltech street performance shocks on all four corners. I like it, but I'm thinking about raising the rear up an inch. the shackles have two settings, 1" drop and 2" drop. What do you think?

80FOUR · 07-02-2008, 11:30 PM

I'd say drop the rear another inch. Loose the rake!

GMBowtie79 · 07-02-2008, 11:34 PM

Lower, lower Go down another 1"-2". Thats just my $.02.

That looks great! Did you do the job at the base?
When are we going to meet?

Richard D · 07-03-2008, 02:30 PM

I sure wouldn't raise it. I think they look best with just a slight rake; where the distance from the top of the wheel to the fender lip is the same front and rear.
