Another build thread. 61 stepside frame off

thanks guys... Awesome to see more trucks in town!!! wish i could have used yours for reference during the build!! lol. It might be his truck (use to drag race it?) the truck was sort of a hand me down with no intentions of going big on her...

When i am not contracting I work on some of the cars at TBC hot rods and bikes downtown Fayetteville, 223 w Russell st. But like i say, I work on stuff there since its like having parental supervision!! hahaha

Honestly on the stance i am not sure up front, we cut the torsion bar off the lower control arm, plated the hell out of it and added the coil over (Qa1 with 9" 450lbs springs) up there. so i can adjust it if need be, but now i am usually running around 4 inch ride height/ground clearance up front. the rear is just the next to lowest coil spring i could do without c notching it.

Yes i am in the Road Devils CC. Haven't been out in a while due to constant thrashing on the this truck, but planning on being out at rims on the river in Wilmington this weekend and the Dagwood festival next weekend. I also want to thank all the road devils in town for helping me out while i was gone or running to the store for bolts or parts and ALL the late night thrashing! Jesse from Shooting Star and Geoff "mr caddie" and christian!

Hell ya... It all changes when you get this far into her and pour years into it..

couple more shots of the inside. even with raptor lining the inside and bottom side of the cab it still has some road noise, well the 3" exhaust doesn't help. so might do some dynamat, or the cheaper equivalent.

Is that a 32" Lokar shifter? How do you like it? I have a 700r4 with a tiny little shifter on the floor and need to get something I can reach, just cant decide exactly what length I want to go with!

yes she is 32". she is pretty tall and sometimes wiggles around alot but has not popped out of gear or anything. if you went with 1 size smaller might be more manageable. But really i do like it even with the price of them. easy to use and if you lose a part lokar sends just that part to you.
