New Stance

Got the 4/6 drop on the Jimmy. Also got my new carb on and got the exhaust routed out behind the rear wheels (a drastic improvement)

here's a drop pic

Looking good...

Where did you place the gas filler neck? Seen one today on ebay that was placed in the back up light.

How much lower is it now? With the cut springs it sat pretty low already, I be it rides like a Cadilac now.

sooooo when do the wheels go on?

It rides a hell of a lot better than it did. The wheels will go on as soon as my 1970 C-10 sells. Anyone wanna buy it? I'm about 80% sure on which wheel I want but I'm open to suggestions on 20's. I don't want to go any bigger than that

The filler neck is right inside the tailgate in the back. I'll take a pic of that also

20's are definally the way to go, i agree no bigger! There are few rims that actually look good IMO, basic 5 spokes all polished or these bad boys, i think these are what im going with

Nice looking Jimmy.

I saw that one on e-bay with the filler neck in the backup light. I didn't understand if the backup light was missing because of the filler neck.
