Heck yeah! It's been a tough year but Go Dawgs! Thanks for the info, too! Any idea on back spacing? Thinking of going 18s since my wife will be driving mine some and I won't have to worry about bent wheels as much.

And thank you so much for your service! Please feel free to drop me a PM next time you're home.

Re: All stepside trucks!

I bought this 1500 SUPER CUSTOM a few mos. ago. 700r4, vintage A/C ps, pb. 1 cheap repaint. I bought it 'cause when they painted it they DIDN'T paint the door jambs & inside the doors. Rare to find good orig. door sills, rockers, cab corners, door bottoms here. It'd had some kind of rust proofing, it has rubber plugs where they drilled holes to spray it in. Looks like it WORKED. I may lower it some more. Being an old fart I like the truck ralleys. DRIVES GOOD.

Re: All stepside trucks!

Thanks for the compliments. I have the ECE 6" drop springs in the rear and 2" drop springs in the front combined with 2.5" drop spindles. I bought their drop kit with new kyb shocks, shock relocation kit, track bar, and sway bar. I got the softer kyb shocks and it rides great. I can't tell you how happy I am with the ECE drop kit. It rides and looks so much better than it did before.

Matt, I've been meaning to tell you. MAN! I love that truck. The color, the year, the stance. It's just great. And you do more than park it and just look at it from a lawn chair.
