Re: Show them trucks before and after!
It was pretty straight to start with but lots of cancer in the running and floor boards. They needed to be cut out and replaced. Still two-tone but very different looking now!

I've said it before but, I just love that blue on your truck. I was on the fence between it and the medium olive green I eventually chose. Maybe one day I could have a blue one too....$$$$$$

Re: Show them trucks before and after!
Hard to remember, I have gone through so many parts changes....
I think the rear is 6 (5" springs with 1" blocks). In that picture I think it had 3" springs with 2" spindles. I was hitting the fender hard on bumpy turns so I've since switched the front springs to 2" hotchkis and don't have any problems. I found out that the 2" springs are as low as I can go with factory control arms and still get a correct alignment. They would not have been able to do it with the 3" springs.

I like the "SS" emblem in the grille. Nice build.
