          Depends on whether or not it's still a truck. If you haul shit, leave it like it is. If it's basically a heavy Corvette, then take it down another two inches.

              Looks good to me.

              And brings back memories my first vehicle was an 81 SWB.

                I might haul stuff once a month and if I do its a few small things. I've hauled more the past couple weeks with moving the shop then I have since I've owned it. I do plan to add larger front sway bar and add a rear sway. Then a nice set of shocks to help improve the handling of it. I still have 8-9 inches of clearance between the frame and top of the axle so plenty of room there.

                I considered buying 20's when I got these, but Im not into the big wheel look. I plan to get a wider rear wheel and put a 275 or 305 in the rear. As stated I'm planning an ls1 swap with around 370-380 rwhp and maybe a 150 shot for fun. Lots of future plans for it.

                  We're putting an aluminum-head 5.3 and 4L60 in my buddy's '84 longbed. We are restoring everything. Had it all the way down to a cab on frame rails.

                  With the drop spindles, it has about 2" of ground clearance at the control arms. We built a big skid plate to protect the oil pan, lol.

                    Sweet!! I was originally planning a 4l60, but the cost to buy one then have it built to hold 600 hp reliably, was just too much for me. I have a lockup th350 I plan to use and get built along with a small converter. Should run and drive like stock as I am running an ls6 cam.

                    I will probably end up using the drop control arms for the front once the motor is in. I have a truck pan I plan to use but might end up with an f body pan for clearance.

                      Damn, I bet a modern GM truck motor with full exhaust, cam, and a little spray would really move in one of those old Chevy's.

                              Not doing a coyote swap anymore.. Cannot locate a take out mustang motor for a good enough price. Plan to get it back on the road for now, while i finish up the truck, then once the truck is done, save up to buy a dart block and build a big bore 347, use my current top end along with a custom grind cam and put a d-1 on it. goal will be 700 ish rwhp while maintaining great driving manners and hoping for 18 ish mpg. gonna be the end of next year before i can think about the mustang again though unless i hit the lotto.. haha
