tds · 04-02-2008, 12:17 AM

Lol sorry I still have mine. I was refering to what you are running now. Like a fuel cell in the bed or what?

Dinos63 · 04-02-2008, 02:46 AM

i THOUGHT THATS WHAT YOU MENT, I USE THAT ALUMINUM TANK FROM POL ,THAT RELOCATES IN THE REAR

tds · 04-02-2008, 06:08 AM

ah thanks for the help. that looks very nice but out of my price range just for a tank and then add the sending unit. thou i would hate to do it, i may just end up mounting one in the bed for now.

azfab · 04-03-2008, 12:40 PM

dino i was wondering what do you guys do for a rack and pinion? its too late to add a dropmember alrady zed my frame but i want to up grade my stering. iknow you guys have the tierod adapters i will need those but what about a rack? also i just boght a 87 sqare body. ok you said that with the dropmember and may be a three inch drop spindel i could lay with a 29'' tall tire? i love the 78 you guys did and thats what im looking for. when i look at bottom of the frame it looks like it wont lay right, i've herd of takein and inch out of the bottom of the frame to get it to lay right??? i dont know if the 73 to 87 frame are all the same, no experance with these trucks. also with the 87 do you think with a good notch and baggs over the axle i could still toe?... thank guys for all you help!

Any updates Dino?

Dinos63 · 04-30-2008, 04:49 AM

I have been having fun driving it.I got most of the sheet metal over the notch made and been thinking of changing the 305 (gut less) to a new crate motor

**lolife99** · 04-30-2008, 05:20 AM

572? 502? Ramjet?

Michael Hill · 04-30-2008, 05:32 AM

Dino, i was thinking of going with the KP six link like you have, was wondering how you like the set-up. I have a 4 link with shockwaves but I'm not impressed with the ride. I'm not going as low as yours but thought the KP system would still work good? I'm also trying to set a date with Nathan to do the suspenison work for me, any help would be greatly appreciated. Also would love to some day check out youre rides ther are ALL sweet, i live in Avondale on the west side and havent met really anyone out here that is into trucks like we are, thanks Michael Hill.
