Re: 1988 chevy resto project

everybody does 6 inch and 35's I'd go bigger.

How you gonna lift it or get bigger tires when you were complaining about the 33's being bald and not cheap? a lift is more then tires, and then you gotta have tires too.

Same reason mines not lifted. I can't afford tires much less the lift.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

yeah in part of the deal the kid wanted a lawn mower and my buddy who had a 94 ext cab just like mine owned one so i trade the body lift and a set of manifolds for the lawn mower because i personally dont care for body lifts and he wanted it and needed a set of manifolds

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

Looking good. Couldn't help but notice that you're missing the silver trim pieces around your door handles. I just took a set off of a parts truck and am about to list them in the parts section if you're interested.
