It’s a 6” lift, and 35”x12.50”x17” tires on 17”x9” wheels. The picture is deceiving this thing is getting almost everything but the cab switched out, lol. Up close in looks like a beer can kicked down the road.

Re: Jolene. the 81 1ton crew cab 4wd

I haven't totally decided yet I got a service bed with it I was gonna make it my new work truck but I think I like the fleetside too much already . it has a 350 right now but I'm thinking maybe a 8.1 or 6.0 swap is in the works. Other than that I'm gonna keep it fairly basic

Ya it's got a part time converted 203 as well. But I have a few extra dana 60s as well as another 44 and a 700r4 205 combo behind the shop. And don't worry I only have $500 tied up in this rust free project so far
