    Man that truck of yours looks very clean! When I get my few rust spots fixed all I need to do is find a motor. I have 4 inch blocks mono leaf (notched) and torsions cranked all the way out. Like to have a 6/8 static drop daily driver.:meemee

    Are those 3" blocks, and where did you pick up the stripping and wipers?

    my plans are to lower it 3 inches all the way around, remove rear bumper, get it painted (its peeling in a few spots) do body work, re-upholster it, clean up the engine bay and fix the leaks. i also need to put in new front bushings. thanks for the compliments guys

    yes those are 3 inch blocks and the stripping and wipers came off a donor truck also took the dash from. you can get the weather stripping from safe lite auto glass or anywhere like that but they might have to order it.:waytogo:
