    NOOOOOOOOOOO, i love the hooks, I have a 74 tail gate for mine but it doesnt have 3 hooks like my 73, so I think im going to the bad conditiion 73 for it, and it provides character LOL.

    Wow, absolutely love your truck. Simple. Subtle. Classy. :)

    I personally like the hooks as they are, but I would actually use them. So, to each their own.

    i think the shorties look funny having 4 down the side, when the longbeds only had 3. i say plastma them out up under the rail, so you dont have to try and drill the spot welds. and if you need info on getting them low i can help ya. ill get shots of my inner fender BFH'n and any other stuff you need. just lemme know.

    maybe by next week ill shave n lower a bit

    yeah they both will go... i dont see how it helps in the looks dept. I wont tie anything to em' anyway.

    the guy that i got the truck from put in what he called a "helper" spring. An extra leaf, way heavier duty that the others in the back. Im gonna pull that one out and see how much she drops

    should come down about even with the front. or what looks to be 1-1/2"ish. i pulled my center and got about the same from that as well. if you arent looking for tons of drop, you could just run the main and overload, and cut the front coil about a turn and a half. i did 3-1/8 turns. and you see where it sits, after about a year of them settling and going to a 195/65/14 front tire

    I have plenty of mirrors like that. If you want me to find you something cool, and send it to you I'll dig something out of my parts pile. Are you required to run a mirror on both doors over there, or just the drivers door (in your case, the right door :D)?
