New Member Here. Getting back into my 78 Stepside
Hey guys new member here. I brought my truck in 2003 from someone who had done most of what you see in the pictures. I installed the flip kit in the rear and will be looking to lower the front more very soon. The truck has been sitting for 3 or so years now and I am just getting back into it. She started right up after sitting for 3 years and I have been putting miles on her here and there for two weeks now
I probably will be needing some help with some changes I want to make and because EVERYONE LOVES PICTURES i figured I'd put some up and see what you guys think. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Sharpie647; 08-19-2010 at 10:44 AM. |

Re: New Member Here. Getting back into my 78 Stepside
I love the truck. Thicker tires in the front would make it look perfect.

Re: New Member Here. Getting back into my 78 Stepside
Know what you mean about turning, big tires and manual steering is a bicep builder. Time for power brakes and steering! Is that an integral head? If so the brackets and pumps are out there. Heck, you could even put a hydroboost brake system on it!
3OTT? Love it! it could drive over and sit next to my rusty 81,' cept the 3/4 ton got power brakes.
