Something like 5.5" front 6.5" rear if you take into account the changes in overall dia of the tires.

Have 4" of ground clearance under the LCA.

Here's the brute that'll be turning into such an outrageous build.

I dunno if this will work, but we'll see.

If not, you can find them here. http://s1177.photobucket.com/albums/x343/Dragoon4490/

Here is my grandfathers 1980 GMC Diesel, he bought it new in March of 1981, I've had the truck now for 20 years. I too wish I had a picture of my grandfather with the truck. I remember the day he bought it, he wanted a 3/4 ton to haul his camper but they sold him the 1/2 ton, a few weeks later my grandparents took a trip to florida in it with a 2200 pound slide in on the back. From what I understand it wasn't to much fun!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

14" out of the middle, about 6" off the end, move the rear most crossmember first. 16 gal gas tank, new parking brake cables, new rear brake line (from a junction under the cab to the rear axle), shorten driveshaft. Thats pretty much it. Here is a write up with a little more detail.

Thanks,
Paul

To OSE_NERO: Did you miss the sign there or chose it as an appropriate prop for the PIC occasion?
