You're off to a good start, nice truck. Most of us are running a tight budget these days. Keep us posted with your progress, we all love pics.

Re: johnboy's 84
i took the bed off today, it still had the factory spare tire on a 15x7 rally may even be a 15x6 not sure , and i was surprised at how the frame cleaned up, i know yall like pics but i didnt have my camera.

i thought this truck had a 3/5 drop but its got stock leafs and shackles and smaller hanger moved way up and new holes drilled, the pinion angle is off but it dont vibrate goin down the road... im guessin its a 2/4 drop?

well my arms arent gonna be factory specs, having them narrowed and changin balljoint angles, and possibly not gonna run a shaft on lowers just make them bolt on similiar to the thorbeck lowers. its still gonna be little over half the price of other arms on the market. not sure on final price till its done.

but if u email keith or call him he will make u some arms to factory spec or anyway u want to lay any size wheel...

Re: johnboy's 84
Is that bracket that your panhard rod bolts to going to be too close to the ground? Just curious. Going to be really cool when finished.
