    Here are some better photos of the truck as of right now. I will be yanking that bed and notching my frame. im just going to do a 2.25 notch nothing extreme i think the truck will lay out low enough for now. I have my middle leaf pulled and overload flipped with three inch blocks riding on 1" shaved bumpstops. I would like to maybe just go 4" blocks out back.

    Looking good...reminds me of the 88 I had back in high school. It had the 2wd sheetmetal like yours, then I swapped it all out for 4wd stuff.

    Just recently pulled off old bed and cleaned up the chassis a little. I am going to repaint it after i notch the frame. Here is the bed thats going on after i prep it for paint.

    I just set the bed on the truck because i was anxious to see what it was going to look like. I am really looking forward to being able to put in my notch and 4 " blocks so i can mount my bed!
