Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
This is my brand new-to-me 78 GMC, picked up on the cheap, that will be my dump runner/rolling project. Very excited at the possibilities!

That's a cool truck, I've seen it once in a while ripping around town.

The 78 Gmc looks good for 1 pic, any more.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
I just finished putting a 4" lift on today. It needs some steering adjustments made due to the dropped pitman arm and the sway bar needs to be reattached. Waiting on some wheels/Fuel "Mavericks"

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Hopefully it looks taller than 4". I went with the shackle flip, per research on this forum, on the rear with Heavy duty shackles and for the front I went with the 4" tuff country HD springs and shackles. I picked everything up from off-road designs. It all could actually be taller than 4", but I'm glad you think so.
For tires, im gonna initially hang with some 285/60 r20 Michelin or firestone/ dealer takeoffs. Essentially a 33.5-34.5 ish tall and 11"ish wide. I blew my wad on wheels this go around. So replacements down the road may be something a lil cooler looking. |

Well building a car or truck is one step at a time for us normal budgeted people, cool to see the lift, gives an idea of what's coming, nothing but better.

It needs a good bit of sorting out and will very likely need a new motor soon but IDGAF!!! Imma drop it on its chin and bash the **** out of it until something pops and then a carbed LS will make its way into the mix. Teaser shot of some new footwear...
