Lowered the truck

[Blackpony]

Thanks guys! Im looking at ordering a cam kit, and getting the exhaust redone. Currently it has a 305 with gasket matched heads, intake, holley 600 vaccum secondary carb, headers, and a 2 inch exhaust with dumped flows. I would like to pick up the hp a little and give it a little nostalgic sound. It also needs a lsd center unit badly! These one wheel peels are stupid. haha

Yeah I think I have around $150 in lowering it. I also replaced all the ball joints while I had it apart.

not bad at all!

Nice. Thinkin about doin a 2 1/2 front and 4 in the back on my c10. Which kit from summit did you use?

I just did a 4.5 front 5 rear drop on mine.
front 2.5 drop spindles 2" springs
rear 5" flip kit ( will be replacing with a 6" and c notch soon)

Had a buddy back in the day w/ an dark blue '85 that would push a coke can down the street. He did cheat a little and run a 4x4 chin spoiler. We had to raise it a little after a man hole cover took out a lower a-arm.

Very nice! I thought about doing a flip kit, but I diddent want that low. I haul stuff quite often.

I used just the summit brand springs, were like 80 or 90 bucks and got the shackles from oreillys. The summit brand shakles only lowered the rear like 2 inches but the springs dropped the front like 5 inches. I'll get the part number when I get home.

Started pulling the ugly ass factory moulding off.. Still need to get a 3m eraser to get the double stick tape off, but it looks 100x better..

What wheels are those? Size? That is kinda what I am wanting to get, except a dark grey center..

Looks good. Enjoy the low life lol

Depending on the wheel back spacing you may be able to tuck a 305 back there and then throw in the 6 and cnotch and lower it just over the lip of that rubber.


Looks dam good though. Lots of potential

Kool! I have been looking at the Cragar 391 or 616 in a gun metal.. really like the 391 but they only come in 17 being the biggest.. really would like 18x9 at all corners with 275 45 tires.. give me a little more sidewall... Dono just yet need to sell my quad first to help finance new wheels and a few other things for it..

Is that rear bumper off a burban? Been looking for one would like to build a hide a hitch behind the tag also..
