I would have left the visor on it. I love em.

Man that front end sure looks higher then the back, but you can follow the siding on the house and see it's not higher.

measuring from ground to body line the front is .5-.75" higher
its the difference in wheel openings that makes it look that way
its lowered with 3" drop springs(i dont think i got 3") and someday i will get spindles and 2" drop springs

I guess there are no more pictures. But a lot of good looking trucks on this post. I would just like to see a lot more. I just love these body styles and the different things you do on your trucks.

This is the 78 Stepside I bought last year. It's on the list to do after my oldest son's truck and the youngest one's Jeep. It looks really good in the pic, but it does need some work!!!

I want to restore it to clone the Chevy Sport my Mom had.......

Here's my latest.....inherited from my mom...this was my step-dad's truck....he's was killed in the windstorms here in Wa back in Dec.
He loved this truck.....I plan on taking very good care of it!:)
He always wanted the truck to be as if Chevy had built an SS in '78, kinda like an LS-6 Chevelle, so it's got the '70 SS454 emblems, stripes, etc.....

It's been through a few engines, currently has a 396, but I'll be swapping in my 454 from my last truck in a week or so....:metal:

its got 4 inches of lift and 35/12.5. the monte carlo is my brothers, its kinda pushed to the side because hes putting new heads on it so its not running right now. heres another pic of it minus the cowl hood it has now. and a pic of it during the hurricane. i guess these links work.http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...s/ec7aba82.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ture5029-1.jpg

Can you really drive the truck that low? Or is that just for show?
