Re: The Drop Thread
Looks good you should paint your drums white or black since they are so exposed.

Re: The Drop Thread
I actually sold it as it sits right before I got my white 86. I don't know if the new owner has done anything with it or not?

Re: The Drop Thread
you'll be fine but you'll need to remove the factory bump stops there's 4 rivets that hold them on and replace them with stubby ones

Re: The Drop Thread
^ I know its kind of old but, monte0185 I have that same kit and agree the front needs to come down a little, how much is half a coil cut?
Love the truck though!

Re: The Drop Thread
grind the head off, or cut a "X" in the head, and pound it out with a chisel and a BFH!

Re: The Drop Thread
