yay,goodies:)

[diponyou]

well got some goodies today








going to try and do it tomorrow but it might have to wait till next week because im going to try and take everything off and get it blasted and painted.

just thought i would share

[bigarmzz]

yeah yeah....rub it in

[diponyou]

haha
sorry about that.
what is some good paint to use on the suspension parts that will hold up that can be bought at a local store?

[STOCKISH]

POR-15 or PM industries chassis paint. I have bought both at my local Carquest store. Both work great but require a little bit of a rough surface to hold to. If you have the stuff blasted it will work great. How bout some pics of your truck?

[diponyou]

i have some por15 but i want to hold on to it for the floors.
and here you go.
chopped springs and flipkit right now.



it aint much rite now but it the motor and tranny are solid along with the brakes and everything else.just needs cosmetics really.especially once all the suspension is done

im going to be getting rid of the grill for a stocker,and also ive made up my mind on switching it to a fleetside.they just look alot cleaner too me.
a paint job wont be for a long time so im trying to think of a different satin color to spray bomb it with.i like brown rite now

ohhh and i painted the wheels black and left the outer trim chrome and i got some spinners for it.

what size drop are you doing? and is that a heavy half or what? i will be building up a suspension starting next week and have the same truck

[diponyou]

to be honest i dont know if its a heavy half or not?????

and im going to be using 3 inch spindles,2 inch springs with half a coil cut,the flipkit and shackles.

should be sitting pretty after that

i want it pretty low,but im going to have to redo my exhaust im guessing because who ever did it before did a horrible job and its hanging down kinda low.so i might try and order some summit shorty headers.
actually im going to look those up rite meow.

[Irish's_79_Step]

i am new to all this truck stuff but i believe you can tell if its a heavy half by how many leaves you have on the rear. if my memory serves me right i had 8 or really 7 and a half (yay rust) and i have a heavy half. just wondering cause mine sits really really high. but have no pics.

slobber slobberrr... !!! looks good!!!

ps..make sure u use a nice mask while working with that por15!!!

[diponyou]

haha
well i didnt get to install them today ,i was too busy getting my carburetor up to par(but its still not)but i will definately do it next week

i got about the same parts on Christmas,on the drop spindles if your runing 15in wheels you need to grind a little off of the top arm that holds the caliper
