Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

The next modification, and probably the one that got me hooked on the 'ruin-ification' process, was a lowering job.

I just so happened to come across a guy who wanted to raise his lowered '81 short-box back up to stock height. Luckily for me, when the 'restoration' was done on my truck, they used 73-87 suspension parts. We worked out a, get this, straight-up swap for my stock height spindles and springs. All I had to do was the labor to exchange the parts. Uuuuummmm... OK!

He also hooked me up with the flip kit from his truck, since he wouldn't be needing it anymore. I think I ended up buying him a caliper, since one of them was frozen, so I was $13 and a little time into a 4/6 drop kit!
