Thank you

It has the McGaughys 5"-7" with 2" lowering shackles in the rear.

Front - 3" lowering spindles and 2" lowering springs
Rear - Flip kit c notch with 2" lowering shackles

The lower control arms had to be grinded a bit to run the rally's with 3" lowering spindles to get the full turn radius back.

I also added 25mm spacers to push the wheels out closer to the fender.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

None what so ever, I'll have to check tonite I Just finished the truck and to be honest I changed Front tire sizes 3 times and Rears 2 times during the build to get it like I wanted it, Luckily my local tire guy was willing to work with me during the build as long as I didn't drive on the tires he would send them back and get another size. 18's on the front and 20's on the rear

Change the front clip to dual headlight or suburban, replace body moulding, and a fresh coat of paint. I'll be happy with that, everything else can be done slowly. The major problem is I can't get the 305 in it working right.

I have a 4.5/6 drop, Dakota digital gauges, energy bushings, and a 6.0L with all the stuff needed for the swap in the garage. They are supposed to be for my 78 stepside, but I have been throwing around the idea of putting it into this one to make it a fun daily and allow me to go wild on the 78. I'm just thinking out loud now.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

I have since replaced the dim looking headlight, I worked a year on the truck and could not remember to replace it. It still worked, but looked bad...
