Perfection! The color combo, the stance, the rally wheels, the raised white lettering. Beautiful.

Here's mine. 4.5/6 drop and 255/72/15. I may do drop shackle in the rear to drop 1 more inch. Ignore the temp PlastiDip paint job. Hopefully getting real paint soon.

Hate to bring up an old thread but does anyone know what colors these are on this truck? My truck came from the factory with the lower tan color and I would like to two tone it just like this. Any ideas on color codes?

It varies a little bit based on model year, but using '84 as a sample:

My guess would be code 66 Indian Bronze Metallic with code 61 Doeskin Tan on the bottom. RPO ZY4 "Deluxe" two tone paint scheme.

It would show on the SPID as 66U and 61L.

Thanks, my truck was factory doeskin so the sticker on the innerfender says. Also the dash looks to be the same color as well.

Did you go with 4" drop shackles and hangers or 3"?

Didn't want to go too low so I used the western chassis 3" drop spindles with stock springs for the front and for the rear I went the shackle and hanger route using the first hole in the shackles because the truck was already close to being level.
I think the previous owner had taken out the overload and one more leaf to level it because it doesn't have an overload leaf and it only has 6 total. I think the truck came with 8 from the factory.
For the record, removing those factory rivets was a pain in the a**!!
If I had it to do over, I would probably remove the bed to replace the hangers since bed removal is fairly easy.
Here are some pics
