Hello every one I am new to this site and am needing alil help. I have a 82 lwb gmc high sierra that i am wanting to lower 4/6 and cant seem to find the right flip kit and lower springs for my truck. If any one can post a link for me to buy one would be much appreciated. I dont want to cut any bed or frame to lower my truck, so im buying a full kit. Prices dont matter but would perfer to keep in mid range prices, not cheap but not wallet breaking either!!!

AND TO EVERYONE THAT POSTED PICS. I LOVE THE TRUCKS. I WAS KINDA PUT OUT WHEN I BOUGHT THE LWB BC I WANTED A SWB BUT AM LEARNING THAT I LOVE IT MORE THAN THOSE SILLY SWBS EVEN THO THEY ARE COOL TO. THANKS FOR ANY HELP THAT YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME!!!

Here's my 83 flat bed and my new 79. There both 4wd. The 79 has a 4 in lift with 35's with 3.73 gears. All stock motor connected to a th350 with a stage 1 shift kit.

The 83 is on 31's with a 4 speed connected to a 355 with forged and balanced scat crank and rods with keith black hypereutectic flat tops with double hump heads, lunati voodoo cam 60103 268/276 duration, edelbrock torker 2 intake with the good ol quadrajet on top. Oh and its got a wild cherry stained wood bed.

I forgot to say that the 79 is a k10 scottsdale and the 83 is a k10 custom deluxe.

Here is my 87 chevrolet scottsdale long bed just bought it. Im new to this forum any ideas on some good lowering kits thinking of 4/6.

[FourByGuy]

Here's my '76 K20 Silverado it has the 400/400 combo.





Running collector license plates now and gone are the makeshift mudflaps on the rear bumper. Other than a tune-up and timing adjustment it's exactly how I bought it 3 years ago.

I just stumbled in here, and thought I'd share my two longbeds. The yellow one I've had since 1990, and it's a nice survivor low option Scottsdale 79 with 69,000 miles on it. The GMC is a recent find, a 79 Trailering Special half ton with power windows, air, cruise, and the original 454. The GMC needs a few minor parts to be roadworthy, and the Chevy is driven a couple times a month.

The other day i had to change the plugs and the girlfriend over heard me and wanted to do it so i never lived it down lol she had a blast doing it complaing that the truck was to high and i had a blast watching theres also some other pics of my truck before i painted it with new box after i painted it and new 355 i droped in it last month too cant thank her enough because she hepled the whole time with painting the block and with removal of old engine cant ask for a better lady lol

[allchevy58]

Clean trucks and big block in one, WELCOME.

[J.C. Corbett]

Thanks for the welcome, folks! A bit more background, my great granddad bought the yellow pickup new in 79 when he was 80. When he passed in 90, it became mine with 21,000 miles on it. Just last year I found the buildsheet for it under the dash. It's the only vehicle, including brand new ones I've owned, that's never once left me on the side of the road.

I picked up some 16 inch wheels to replace the stock 16.5. Painted them Santa Fe to match the side stripe.

Those are actually Mazda B series truck tail lights, I recognize them right down to the reflector in the one with the missing lens. Probably grafted on to legalize them in countries where an amber signal is required.

Pic of the tail light on my B2000 parts truck:

And to counteract the Mazda post...here is a pic of my 78 from July 4th

The 82 i just picked up today. 350-465-205 i believe Dana 44 front with external hubs and it has a 14 bolt ff rear. Needs some work but im not real sure what the plan is for it yet since i have my 84 shortbed project going on yet.
