Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
Im working on suspension parts now trying to find the best springs to install on the truck. I contacted Deavers yesterday and figure out a 10 leaf pack for a 4" lift. Id like to stay with 35" tires on the truck.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
Good progress. What's deaver want for a set of their springs? I liked those bilstein shocks on my old K10 with the extended hoop up front from an F250.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
I spent some time yesterday ordering the correct fuel system and trying to figure out the correct way to get fittings on the fuel sending unit. I want a nice flaring tool for 37* flares. Guess I'll try the rigid brand one.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
Called Energy suspension and got the right cab bushing kit. I went ahead and got new bolts and washers since they don't come in kit.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
I got the bed and doors back from sand blasting. I'm gonna start rebuilding the doors today. The short bed I found turned out to be a nice find.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
I think I'll just use the 3m pro paintable undercoating. I cleaned it with PPG metal cleaner today. Im not very good on chemicals and metal coatings so Im learning daily.

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
Slow going last few days, so I started working on back of frame and trimmed off about 5" inches and redrilled the back bed hole in frame. Someone had welded the rear bumper on, gross!

Re: 1988 Crew Cab shortbed overhaul
Undercoating turned out great! How long will the sand blaster have your truck?
