my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
2 owner truck from Ga I bought this summer, cleanest truck ive had so far
here is a you tube video of it https://youtu.be/dSwwRUd6dBU ive since changed the radiator support, new front bumper, new rear sport bumper/brackets, and installed wheels and tires.... 245/45 20's on front and 295/45 20's on back, Polished American racing torq thrust II wheels, 20x8's in front and 20x10's in back .....hopefully get it lowered next week, going with all western chassis components, 5" up front with 2.5" spindles and 2.5" springs, and in back, 7" using the WC flip kit, and 2" hangers (ended up with a darn bulged disc a few months ago or I would've already had the darn thing done!) doing an LS swap this winter, slowly been gathering up all the components needed Last edited by bigarmzz; 12-19-2017 at 04:43 PM. |

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
Nice truck!! I'm a big fan of the original grille, but that does look sharp. What did you do with the original grille?
And I absolutely love the wheels

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
thanks man, I sold it locally, I had it on my garage wall as "wall art" for a few months, then a friend of mine offered me $150 for the grille and support so I sold it

On another note, sorry to hear about your back. I've been there, so I know how you feel. Look up I.D.E.T. Back Surgery. It's an outpatient surgery, and it did wonders for my back.

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
I had a herniated disc repaired last year..Best thing I ever did. No more pain. Great way to live. Good Luck.
I can't wait to see what that truck looks like when lowered. |

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
finally got my truck lowered. (the struggle is real)
2.5" western chassis drop spindles 2.5" western chassis drop springs western chassis flip kit in rear KYB shocks all around with shock relocators in rear also replaced the inner and outer tie rods and sleeves, and put on new assembled upper control arms. I'm sure it will settle some, I may end up using some drop shackles in rear, not sure yet, to get another inch or two |

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
Very nicely done. I'm not usually a fan of the 88-91 front ends on the smaller trucks, but it fits well here!

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
Brings back memories bought one identical twin new in 86 when I first lowered it in 86
After I redid it in 88 sold it the guy who bought totaled it a week later that hurt Last edited by jkk; 01-16-2018 at 10:17 AM. |

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
thanks you all for the comps
i'd like to suggest one thing, just some advice when you lower these trucks....ive found that it is best before tightening up the rear leaf spring "eye" bolts, make sure the truck is jacked up from the bottom of the rear end housing and is under pressure, in other words, the truck is lifted up off of the jack stands before you tighten those leaf spring eye bolts up....that way its not kinda "kincked" up and your truck will sit closer to where it will stay when dropped down....hope that makes sense? just a suggestion for the ones that haven't done this before these are the wheels I used on the front: http://www.jegs.com/i/American-Racin...52873/10002/-1 these are the wheels I used for the rear: http://www.jegs.com/i/American-Racin...52173/10002/-1 |

Re: my 86 2wd black swb i picked up this summer
Sure aren't very many tire companies that make both of those sizes with matching tread.
