good looking trucks guys!!

[Scootin 81 C20]

Here's a truck that has been running around my area for the past year or so. I finally was able to snap some pics and talk to the owner. I'm not sure of the year, but it's a nice truck. It's equipped with a 350 with a 4 speed. It's got 3:11 in the axle, which is also a Posi unit. I told him that if he ever decides to sell it, let me know. BTW, check out how he did his rallys.

That's a pretty sharp truck. Not too wild about the thing behind the cab. Those rallies are different. Cool touch.

[watahyahknow]

the thing behind the back prolly used to hold some extra seats backed against the wall of the cab...... i seen it a long time ago in some trucking magazine

[78BO]

Here some updated pictures for you. 3/4 drop and new rubbers 255-60-15 front and 275-60-15s rear. I can't make up my mind on what wheels to buy so for now I'll keep the old ones. I might take out a leaf, not sure yet.

[3r!c84]

like the racked look!
y not go lower in the back

[Orange77]

second that you should level it out or lower the amount of rack

[BIG KRIS]

KEEP THE RAKE BUT COME DOWN A LIL BIT MORE!

[78BO]

I actually want to drop it 1 or 2 inchs in the rear. IF I take out spring, which one do you take out? I still want to be able to haul things in it.

[3r!c84]

you shoulda did a flip kit on it.not the hanger and shakels,

SHUT UP!!




I was thinking the same thing lol. But I still want to be able to haul hay in the bed. I don't trust those u-bolts hold that much.

[3r!c84]

LMAO go big or go home.
now your kinda stuck, i wouldnt take out a leaf spring or 2 if your going to tow with it.

That "thing" is a Lund Racerback. I used to make those years ago when I was employed by Lund Industries. They also made side steps, regualr cab fairings, cab visors, HL/TL covers...and a whole slew of fiberglass bolt on parts that were all the rage in the 90's.

I'll trade you my flip kit off my 77 for your shackles and hangers, its a western chassis kit

[Pavement_Hooligan]

My 84, just got it

[3r!c84]

nice start
what your plans

[greyghost86]

Heres my 86.. before any work..

[Pavement_Hooligan]

slammed 4 1/2 in front and 6 in back. Satin brick with a black grill, trying to get to run under 15s at the track. it's got a 305 so there's work to be done haha.

[watahyahknow]

like the stockcar style wheels under it
if you want to do an engine swap down the road you might want to look into nox for this engine

Partial blame at best. Hey, back then like I said, they were the rage. Today, not so much.

Most trends come and go.
