    This is what I got, it's an 87 xtra cab l/b, with 4x4x fenders. Im currently redoing the whole suspension, and a body drop, plus installing a 90's model dash with tilt steering.

    Thats the old school way...looks good too. I remember the first truck (a Toyota) that was featured in Mini-Truckin that was body dropped & it was done that way as well too. Then a few months later they did a tech article that showed you step by step how to channel your truck. It was an 90 or 91 model Toyota & that stated it all lol!!
