Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
Pops, I love your truck! Do you have any side shots of the truck with no lift and the 35's on it? Were they 35's or metric sized? Wheel sizing? Thanks!!

Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
I dont see this beast around as much as I used to.
Who did you deal with here in town for your BDS or did you just order online? Happy with it?

Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
Sorry, that's all the pre lift pics I have. The first set of tires I had with the black steel rims were 315/75/16's, the tires I have now on the 17" Hummer H2 rims are 35x12.5 Pro Comps AT's

As far as the lift goes, I ordered it six years ago through Rapid Revolutions in the west end. Ordered a lift for a 1990 1 ton and got an IFS kit, so ordered a kit for an 87 instead and got the right stuff. I ordered 3/4 ton leafs for the back with the idea that it might ride slightly better than 1 ton leafs. I haven't had any issues with the lift. I've replaced the front shocks and steering stabilizer, but it gets used, so just wear and tear.

I get about 10 mpg out of mine. I'm toying with the idea of replacing the truck with a 12v Cummins truck. It's a little under powered while pulling a car trailer with a car on it and the fuel mileage leaves something to be desired. I'll let you know if I decide to sell it.

Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
I keep a close eye on the 12V and 24V market around here. Seems like most of those guys have gotten the rocks shaken out of there head as the prices have come down
I miss mine quite a bit, but terrible riding truck and i enjoy having my kidneys, liver and spine in one piece

Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
Lmao I know, I know. I borrowed a small 110 compressor to paint the truck and then gave the compressor back. Now I have a nice big 60 gal 220 compressor, but I haven't wired my garage for it yet..

Re: Pops V3500 Crewcab
Sweet ride! Is that a 454? I liked the red better but it's your truck. How much did you pay for it?
