Re: Got A New Rig Time to Restore/Mod 78swb
 You can find good beds quite often if you keep an eye out. You can also find the door pin kits at your local parts store too. Just remember all projects start somewhere. Some are rougher than others, but that just means you get to know your truck more!  Just keep thinking positive, and you will make positive ground. It's hard sometimes I know, but this board is a great place for positive re-enforcement.

Re: Got A New Rig Time to Restore/Mod 78swb
sorry dude i dont know the answer to your question. with an attitude like that its likely no one else does either.
maybe try bumping your thread up if you dont get a response or ask in the suspension section. thanks, Dennis

Re: Got A New Rig Time to Restore/Mod 78swb
There are not to many that gander at the build section, post the same question in the reg 73-87 forum and you will get a responce, there is a guy on here that slapped some 315's on the rear, in my opinion that is plenty of meat for a street set-up.
