Loosen up the rear bumper brackets, put a jack under the bumper & lift it to square it w/the body. Looks like the bolts weren't tight enough & someone stepped on the bumper to get into the bed causing it to drop until the brackets bottomed out.

Looks like a solid truck though.

Nix the roll pan. The sport bumpers look sweet on GM trucks.

Hey SPR85GMC , What are the specs on the front wheels and tires ? Backspace and size of the rubber . The 20's look good . I like the dark center wheel on your dark truck .

They have confederate flag license plates in Mexico?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I have a mexican blanket here in TN. Bought it in Mazatlan back in the Navy days.

Nice wheels and stance, spr85gmc

Man I can't wait to get started on my truck

killthewabbit · 08-05-2008, 02:50 PM

Oh man, I didn't even realize it was a Smokey and the Bandit thing. Crap, now I have to relinquish my redneck credentials.

Fer79, the truck's stance is great. I have a thing for worn in stepsides as well.

gafiredog · 08-05-2008, 05:02 PM

hey killthewabbit, your gonna make us look bad. ( really, i didn't think about that either, thought fer79 just wanted the stars and bars on his ride.)

too high for my taste also...

I put 1ton springs (stiff) with a coil cut off to help with launch control, but since the local track has been sold & is now a trailer park, I don't see any track time at all... so I'm "de-tuning" it a little, and plan on lowering it via dropped spindles...

cntryboy88 · 08-08-2008, 11:13 PM

I bought the truck with that grill in it. It is an 84 model truck. The grill has been repainted along with the rest of the truck.
