    It rides. . . . okay. Will probably have to fab up a front crossmember along with the notch before I am comfortable going over 40mph city and 55mph highway.

    I bought the tires off of an ebay store called 510 tires. Only place I could find em. Not a bad price either.


    And as you guys asked for more pics here is a few to keep you drooling :waytogo:

    Whats up guys. Got my truck back on the ground with some new air shocks. Have a lot lined up for the truck this weekend. Going to do a full 84-88 front suspension swap along with a deep notch and 3rd member notch. Finally got my bike in the back! Drives good but bottoms out rather quick. Will be jelly with the notch. Check back in soon, should have a nice update coming your way!

    Not a full update yet still working on it. Got the frame & 3rd member all notched up. About 1/4" from laying leaf shackle and then the tire hits wheel tub with 2" left in the notch. Now on to the 84-88 suspension swap up front, BJ flip, and drop spindles soon to be on the way :)

    Still waiting for the belltech drop leafs to come in too to stiffen up the rear a little more.

    I wasn't kidding when I said it will be lower than the last truck! check back in soon!
