Hard to remember, I have gone through so many parts changes....

I think the rear is 6 (5" springs with 1" blocks). In that picture I think it had 3" springs with 2" spindles. I was hitting the fender hard on bumpy turns so I've since switched the front springs to 2" hotchkis and don't have any problems.

I found out that the 2" springs are as low as I can go with factory control arms and still get a correct alignment. They would not have been able to do it with the 3" springs.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!

Before, the day I bought it 22 years ago.

After I spray canned it and drove it for two years, parked it and let mother nature patina it again for 20 years, rebuilt it and began driving it again. Loving it even more than the first time.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!

The pic you showed was with a bunch of parts piled on the almost finished frame. If that w/t combo is what you're asking about,
I can only remember that the the wheels were 15" x 8" or 10" rallys with beauty rings. Sorry, can't remember the tire size.

Here's some of the first stage, post-build pics to check stance:

The first time the truck hit the road after the initial build, it had what's in the picture here:

Couple more pics

Re: Show them trucks before and after!

Well, Here is my submission for BEFORE.. Pretty rotten cab, not much useful metal on the rest of the truck either... Bed is shot, front fenders are shot and core support was barely hanging on.. Just got it so its still being torn down..

Re: Show them trucks before and after!

A little less than a year of progress and 5000 miles since the suspension mods. Not done at all, just getting ready for round 2. Ugly long bed before and ugly short bed after.

Re: Show them trucks before and after!

here is a before and after
