here's the latest on the progress of my 87....

got it lowered now with all belltech stuff...3/4 drop with front 3" spindles and rear shackles/hangers

found a sweet 3:42 posi rear

got the burb front going on (found a rust free one locally, grille, bezels, wiring harness, and all)...

one new rocker(GM-ebay), and two cab corners

GM fenders, and jap inners, and lund roll pan (cant see this stuff from pic though)

....next...steel cowl hood

and loosing the bigass dumbo mirrors (not that there's anything wrong with that)

...possible transplant of a 96 vortec 350 (gathering all the info before i plunge) and hopefully some decent rims/tires

had the bed completely off, and then just sitting on the frame in the one pic, thats why the bed looks "crooked"....at one time last week, i actually had the bed off, the gas tank out, and the rear end out......

thanks ya'll......those stock spring hangers were a pain.....

luckily though, the truck was a bit of a cherry, so there wasnt any rusted out bolts or anything....hell, the frame is in DAMN good shape

my wife has already started calling it my "current money pit"

here's a pic of my last "money pit".....
