Thanks Grande! It's just a habit I have, I call my stuff junk. My wife gives me that "look" when I call her SUV junk...... It's kinda funny.

Hey thanks man! The front A-arms are stock hacked up and shortened with plates welded for bags, get-O bump stops made out of grade 8 bolts.
I guess to answer your question, it's an almost stock suspension with air bags.
It was done by the PO and is getting taken apart this weekend, If I posted photos of the rear end, you probably wouldn't believe it was real....and I drove it

I did everything else first because I didn't think the suspension was that bad..... BTW, the lugs are only on the threads by MAYBE a 1\4 inch.

gferris5 · 05-11-2008, 10:02 PM

yeah Houp~
That thing is quite the sled--do you have a build thread or anything? I dig it. I'm also glad to see this thread having some life. It was dead for a while.

Thanks man, I dig it too, it's fun to drive around in and go hang out. Unfortunatly I don't have a build thread, just some "here and there" photos but nothing in depth.

sickchevy68cst · 05-12-2008, 08:14 AM

Not necessarily, you can get a crayon and some papper but that's only if you want color, a pencil may work too.....lol!

Sorry man, had to do it!!

Whats your plans for your truck? It looks pretty good just the way it is. I like the "Redneck" roof horns !!!!!!!!!!

Bell72 · 05-13-2008, 03:07 PM

Actually I'm going to spend some TLC and spruce it up a bit. The rear bumper is being replaced with a crome one and the bed is going to be redone with a light oak and light blue rails. The horns are coming off (I know....I liked them to ) and they are going onto another vehicle. The engine is getting an overhaul and while we're at it we will paint it top to bottom. The front grill is also not the best so I'm getting it recromed and also new shocks, rotors, etc. I'll post new pics in about four weeks when I get her back. Till then thanks for the interest and have a great one.

God bless....
