Yes, it is 4.5" front (2.5" spindle/2" coil) and 6" flip kit in the rear. No C-notch needed.

not crazy about the white walls and full wheel covers. i'd do dog bowls and black tires (don't hate, MHO).

Thanks man. I eventually want to run some nice GMC dog dish caps, but finding a set I like (that I can afford) has proven to be a chore. The whitewalls are stayin' though ;) The wheel covers are '56 Buick with bullet centers that I had hanging in the garage, the lines of which compliment the truck so nicely, I figured what the hell? :D

Nice truck maxh! I can't say why but I like this color combo. I think it gives it a cool vintage look.

PlastiDip on the truck today.

Question on the PlastiDip. What is it and what is the appeal of it? I've heard of people doing it. I've dipped some tools in it. Seems like it would be a real bear to remove if you ever decide to paint.

Thats slick looking man! Been thinking of plasti-dipping my 86... I don't know yet though!


OT: My 86 c10 with a Gen 5 454 Note the plasti-dipped mirrors and other things.. I already took all of it off though.
