Re: my 80 build
if your sandblasting it yourself you should prime what ever you get done that same day... if not it will start rusting. i had to redo mine for 15 hours straight then go and prime it immediately afterwards. it sucked.

Re: my 80 build
Are you planning on "Z" ing, notching, or drop crossmember with the new frame? I thought about getting another frame and doing that with mine cause I drive it every day.

Re: my 80 build
Why are you going back up? I think the truck looks great at the height it is now.

Re: my 80 build
well most entrance's to parking lots that are kinda steep the frame tries to high center and the control arms are all bent up from driving on uneven road services, well first I'm going to a 2/3 or 3/4 then want it lower and go back down to a 5-7 or maybe bags

Re: my 80 build
Glad to hear you are still doing the swap. I have been out of the loop for a bit. There you go raising your truck back up & I am making mine lower yet.

Re: my 80 build
pick up a complete top end gasket set for the 6.0 ordered it through work and got a discount at napa, but found out it would be $10 cheaper at summit racing but it was on back order oh well
