What front springs are under the truck? as I see the shackle is kicked back on an angle. Thanks again.
Thanks. It was suppose to be a quick easy simple truck that kept turning into wow, that's cool, I want that too.

As far as the seat from the dodge. The seat is from a 04 2500 Quad cab/crew cab. I didn't modify the floor at all. I cut the factory dodge seat brackets off and modified them by welding angle and flat strap to them and used the factory chevy bolt holes to bolt the seat to the floor. I also added some bolts just in case. I wish the seat was from a standard cab truck because these don't fold fully forward down and it makes it hard to get to things behind the seats.

The front springs are skyjacker 4" lift springs for a 73-87 chevy. I used those because I had a pair back when I started the build.

The polished ones or the painted ones? They were both 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern but I can not remember the back spacing on them. The polished 18s were 4.5 0r 5" if I remember correctly.
