Bought this truck from a friend of mine with nothing under the hood, me and a friend got it home and started on it front is 2" spindles and 1 coil cut and back is a flip kit with lowering hangers. I bought a crate moter a month ago and new t-350 and new coys 20x8.5 20x10. Here it is so far....

Re: New member with 85 c10

Thanks it still needs a lot of work, but the body is real straight and has no rust. It has no gauges and I still need to get my rear kyb's. Anyone know the part# by any chance.

Re: New member with 85 c10

Thanks guys. I'm glad to be here. I've been on a forum for all my previous vehicles and could live without em. I could care less to paint it or not but I have a friend that paints and wants to paint my truck. Don't know what color.

Btw coy fixed the issue with the cap not fitting over the hub. No need to make a spacer no more
