Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Your truck is coming along great, you seem to be doing it the right way. I just ordered a set of 2.5 drop spindles today. Are you going to cut the springs at all. I was thinking of just using the spindles up front, I don't want to drop it too much.

When did you retire, I was in Arty for 22 years.

thanks.. what kind of spindles did you go with?
no i'm not going to cut my springs, just spindles, and the flip kit on the rear.
i didn't retire, had to get out from combat injuries/disability. when you say arty, you mean artillary right? gun bunny?

i think you PM'd me asked about the drop shackles i have right?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

That is what I am going after as well. That is one of trucks that I am modeling my truck after as far as the stance.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Yea, lol Artillery.
I think the 2.5 inch I got are from JDM, they had free shipping so they were a little cheaper. I plan to replace every thing in the front end when they come in. I was the one that PM'd you about the shackles. I think I am going to put a set of those on first and see how 2 inches looks before going lower.

I like the stance of the truck above, it's not slammed.

yeah, I like that blue truck's stance... perfect for me... but I think it has a flip kit n the rear, so 2" won't be anything..

send me a PM with your address, and we'll see about sending you those Belltech 2" drop shackles

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Was your harness not in very good shape? Did you end up deciding on putting the 327 in your truck?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

almost the whole harness front/back, engine compartment and in the cab was totally eaten up my rats/mice/squirrels whatever...

i looked into the 327, i think I'll stay with the 455 for now, only because it will be cheaper to put the 455 in, but I do want a 327 one day
