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

Finally got my 78 Scottsdale lowered. Its a beater, but its fun to drive. Came down about 5" in the front and about 7.5" in the rear. The back is a little too low but I have some air shocks coming next week that will give me some control over the height in the back. Right now the back is lower than the front. Im happy with it overall. I need some smaller tires. Mine are 235/75R15 right now. No rubbing issues at all, but the front ones look a little funny because of the size. Also a smaller front tire will give me a little more drop which will look good. Its got LOTS of clearance underneath. Its about the same ride height as my Chrysler 300c. I could lower it another 2 inches and still be able to drive it without worrying about hitting things. The only thing that sucks is trying to put gas in it. The filler is so low now that you almost have to sit on the ground to pump the gas! haha.

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

I LOVE that stance............if it were mine The stock wheels/caps and all the rest (Just right) would be my dream look! Sleeper style put a few bucks into the interior and leave the patina'd, "old" look!!!! Head turner for sure!!!
Just my 2 cents!!!
Super look in my opinion!!

Lookin good! How did you lower it, you use a kit? I just lowered mine about that much a few weekends ago, but now my driveshaft is all out of whack...do you have any problems with your driveline since the drop?

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

Is it weird sometimes I wish I had a really beat up old truck to rat rod? I love my truck, but it's too nice to do anything cool to it, gosh....I'm such a stickler for originality and leaving the truck "how I got it" haha


Here Charlie is trying on a rail I took off from my other truck

I have only seen a few that were custom (Home) built, but not from a Specialty Shop!
NICE Truck, by the way!!!!! There's a Nice Dually that is Lowered to the ground here where I live and I used to think it was absurd, but appreciate the time and effort it took to do it and still be quite useable!!! Some DO know how to customise without skimping!!!
Again..........NIIIIIIIIIIIICE TRUCK!!!!
