Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Well, what you see right now is about 90% of how I found the truck. There was a little more white primer on some sections which I sanded down...

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Thanks guys
It looks like they just flipped the leaf spring upside down in the rear and repaced the front cross bar with the after market one with a 2" drop. I still haven't had time to go through the truck. It's at The Interior Shop on Cave Creek road getting seat done in black leather and black Mercedes carpeting. I can't wait to get it back next week.

Uh....huuuh. Do you mean they put the rear leaf spring pack UNDER the axless? And in the front, when you say "cross bar" you mean a 2" dropped axle, right?

Any chance I could ask you to post some suspension photos?
