Not too far about 4-5 hours away but I have a prior commitment with another board member on here first. Depending on how quick it gets done I will let you know if still interested.

Man you have a very nice truck to start with there.
Do you know how much drop that is or what ECE kit that is in front/back? DLB |

A panhard bar did not come, nor is it necessary, on a leaf spring truck. The leafs keep the rear end in line. Chances are your truck has a coil spring rear, not leafs ;) That's definately an awesome start for a project truck. |

Yup, that's a coil spring truck :D
That's a relocation kit for the lowered suspension, here's what a stocker looks like (it bolts to the rear end itself) |
