Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Finally got my 78 Scottsdale lowered. Its a beater, but its fun to drive. Came down about 5" in the front and about 7.5" in the rear. The back is a little too low but I have some air shocks coming next week that will give me some control over the height in the back. Right now the back is lower than the front. Im happy with it overall. I need some smaller tires. Mine are 235/75R15 right now. No rubbing issues at all, but the front ones look a little funny because of the size. Also a smaller front tire will give me a little more drop which will look good. Its got LOTS of clearance underneath. Its about the same ride height as my Chrysler 300c. I could lower it another 2 inches and still be able to drive it without worrying about hitting things. The only thing that sucks is trying to put gas in it. The filler is so low now that you almost have to sit on the ground to pump the gas! haha.
