Here's a quick pic of my 86 just after she came home from the paint shop. Will show some updates soon

Nice trucks guys. Love the dark gray on these trucks.

JohnC · 09-04-2009, 08:14 AM

Both of those trucks look awesome guys.

3r!c84 · 09-04-2009, 03:22 PM

looks nice what gray is that?

Nukes16 · 09-05-2009, 12:38 AM

If you're asking about my fleetside, the color is called butane blue pearl, and I stole it from Chrysler who used the color on their 2006 300M. It is a silver with a hint of blue in it, just enough to match my stock blue interior.
Cheers

**nlped** · 09-05-2009, 12:35 PM

Bob's got a flip in the rear and a 2.5" spindle & a 1" drop coil w/ a 1/2 a coil cut off on the front. It rides great and I really like the even look.

pat386 · 09-06-2009, 01:03 PM

Thanks a lot for the compliment...I'll relay it to Bob

.

The tires are actually 255/70r15's. I put them on the truck when I first got it and they are the same height as the 275/60r15's, just a tad narrower. They would have worked just fine with this as I still have plenty of fender clearance front and rear. But, honestly, the 255's were cheaper

I grew up in Maine and those trucks were rusted to death in the 70's!

northern 85 · 09-07-2009, 08:35 PM

I found it on ebay in louisiana,It sleeps in the barn all winter.

northern 85 · 09-07-2009, 08:38 PM

Pat you dont like the cowl hood? Send it my way

Tealm0nsta · 09-09-2009, 12:34 PM

Here's my old 81 stepside.
Once I finish up my current project I'm going to try and locate a clean starting point and do another. This time i'll finish it w/ C4 front and rear suspension and a nose dive inducing big block.

cold a/c, power steering and enough power to run down anything at anytime or cruise w/ the 700r4
