My 83 Build

[ANDREW]

Hello not new to the form but First real post! My dad got this truck from our next Door neighbor around 10 years ago....for $2000 i have been raised along this truck growing up i use to help my dad in this truck doing small electrical jobs and iv always wanted it as my first driver..so i talked to him and he said its yours... so as i got older 16 now i did a few mods on it chrome valve covers,air cleaner,True dual flowmaster 40's and just recently put on a set of summit headers... stripped them down and gave them a nice coat of header paint i just put on a 800cfm qjet carb from my uncles old 70's nova i also did a drop on it and here comes the sad part ..... i did not have much knowledge with drops and i wanted to start out with a 2/4 .. So i ordered some drop springs and a shackle and hanger kit .. took it to this guy and found out the hanger kit was the wrong one so he said it would look better going with more of i drop i went home and googled some pics ..im very glad i did i loved the way it looked so i told him i will go with w 3/5 so i ordered a flip kit for the rear and he said he could cut one coil and it wont hurt any think took it to the shop with all the parts ... 1 day later and a empty tank of gas he said "its Done" so my dad drove it home..... the rear end snaped driveshaft hit the top of the bed and the front springs poped out of place along with us almost getting it to a bad accident.. took it back with a few nice words %$#@& and he didnt torque the u-bolts... so he fixed everything .. and it was good till the rear end did the same thing a month later... so got brand new u-bolds and got to work my self.. the front springs are still messed up and i am looking it to getting drop spindles we finally fixed the back and everything is good now except the front springs...so should get the drop spindles and fix everything with the drop next will be the breaks... the peddle hits the floor and i have completly no breaks at all so i need a new master cylinder i believe after that will be the body work and paint and the interior needs to completly be redone but im 16 and dont got a lot of cash so things will happen slowly... well after the long story here are some old pics for u guys ( did i mention it only has 86,000 miles on the org. motor...)
