Re: BlueJ
I really dig your style man. A few years back I working at an older gentlemans house and he had a light blue '73-'74 shortbed and it had steelies with some sort of center cap that looked to have been off and earlier model truck and it looked badass. I'm a sucker for steel wheels. I've got a '76 like OJ and owned a '74 just like blue J. Keep it up.

Re: BlueJ
I noticed you removed 3 leafs from your 8 leaf spring pack and installed a new hanger. How much drop do you think that will give you? I just removed 3 myself but kept the overloads and did a flip kit and c-notch. Looks like Im between 7-8 inches of drop, but wont know for sure until the cab and bed are on.

I changed the shackles and hangers as well. Did the same combo on OJ too.
