Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

I've always liked 20's on these trucks also, or 20's on the front and 22's on the rear.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

it looked sick with the 22's, should have just ordered the back two without that big of a lip so you wouldnt have to have cut the rear end

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

finally nice weather and no work. got the truck out finally for a drive the rear drop handled very well on a big dip at 70mph i puckered up expecting to bottom out but to my surprise nothing. i think she sits pretty level now may be done with lowering anymore.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

well ive been on the fence for a while now of redoing my motor its tired has leaks and wanted a cam in there so a buddy pulled his out of his 72 blazer cause hes doing an ls motor and gave me his 350 to rebuild well that was my intentions then finding a shop and time and all that may end up paying about the same if not more so i just picked this new one up last sunday 350/365hp ready turn key motor with 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on every part from Gordons Engines. it was my 11 year anniversary saturday so i let my wife hand over the cash so she can feel like she bought it for me next gonna get a new transmission and then put it in. in the mean time gonna paint intake change valve covers may use my air cleaner not sure yet.
