Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

What’s your drop set up? Love the stance. And that’s tire size? Thanks!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Updated photo, sorry for the weird lighting.



Front wheels are 17x8 with 4" of backspacing, running a 235/60/17 (28" tall) tire.

Back wheels are 17x9 with 4.5" of backspacing, running a 235/60/17 (30" tall) tire.

Its axle flipped in the back (looks home made, so not sure exactly how far lowered) and the front has 2.5" drop spindles and very worn out stock 6cyl springs. Will be getting 2" lowering springs but I dont expect it to change too much except to stiffen it up.

'77 Silverado SWB. 416 LS3/ 6L90E. Ridetech suspension, Wilwood brakes, same Centerline wheels that have been on it since the 90s. Mechanical frame-off. Powdercoated frame but didn't touch the body. Someone painted it inside and out in the 80s and still presents fine. Maybe I'll paint it one day.

What’s the drop on your ridetech suspension? Or is it on air?
