    Nice and clean looking. I have an identical '86 that's about 1/10th the condition of yours, it's a rusty farm truck. 8' notch and reverse links? Factory 14' rims? Looks very good, I need about 3' of snow to melt before I can start on mine. Anymore build pics would be greatly appreciated.

    These wheels currently are factory 14s, the link setup is a 2 link with a panhard bar with bag about midway on the link bar, it's not even a mini notch we did it old school "C" notch. I will post pics of this setup tomorrow, I don't have any uploaded. I did however modify my fuel tank today so I could keep the factory location and clear the bags [​IMG]

    Attempted to change my vent window gaskets yesterday, to eliminate some of the wind noise, well upon closer inspection, realized the vent window frame was rusted at the bottom thus not allowing the window to close all the way, so ordered a new frame and now waiting on it to come in.
