Man I can't wait to get started on my truck

killthewabbit · 08-05-2008, 02:50 PM

Oh man, I didn't even realize it was a Smokey and the Bandit thing. Crap, now I have to relinquish my redneck credentials.

Fer79, the truck's stance is great. I have a thing for worn in stepsides as well.

gafiredog · 08-05-2008, 05:02 PM

hey killthewabbit, your gonna make us look bad. ( really, i didn't think about that either, thought fer79 just wanted the stars and bars on his ride.)

too high for my taste also...

I put 1ton springs (stiff) with a coil cut off to help with launch control, but since the local track has been sold & is now a trailer park, I don't see any track time at all... so I'm "de-tuning" it a little, and plan on lowering it via dropped spindles...

cntryboy88 · 08-08-2008, 11:13 PM

I bought the truck with that grill in it. It is an 84 model truck. The grill has been repainted along with the rest of the truck.

Hey, what Local track were you refering to? Have you tried out the track over north of Shreveport? The one that held the Pinks all out this year?
