i agree slam it

[KORNBREAD]

Your crazy if you slam it. Everybody and there brother now take sweet older trucks and chop the top and slam them to the ground. That truck looks bad ass the way it sits now. you never see cool hot rodded trucks anymore stock height! if it was me id keep it standing just like that!..........just like the bad ass it is!

[Eroq]

probably not gonna lower it at all. rides way too nice!  plus i'd still like to throw some load range E's on the back and haul away

[BIG UGLY]

sissy 

[Cannaert]

You still can haul with a Lowered truck.  You just need to do it the Right way and Lowering Shackles or spring under is the way to go with out losing hauling abilities.

It needs to be dropped 2 up front and 3 in the back, but then you will have to either trim the the rear wheel wells or tub it a few inches along with some deep off set rims.

[Eroq]

Well, shes sittin down at Cannaerts now in fenton... Moving outta this place at the end of the month.. so hopefully without $600/month in rent i'll be able to get it done in no time.

Waiting on warmer weather anyhow to paint it...  Need a motor (got one lined up), pinion support bearing for the rear end, brake calipers and rotors, and 2 rubber hoses. 2 natural rubber tire tubes for them fat meats in the back... and that'll be it!   Might as well rebuild the tranny while i got the motor out.. that'll only be $100 and 4 hours of work


Hoping to get burnin some rubber soon!

Cool truck. I like the old Hot Rod Chevy trucks.
