Here is my 79. Waiting for the drop and new wheels.

**LEEVON** · 11-09-2012, 04:13 PM

Sweet truck, and Welcome!

BVANT1 · 11-09-2012, 04:37 PM

Thanks Leevon!

baclay9 · 11-09-2012, 11:01 PM

Man that thing is slick! What wheels and drop are you going with?

BVANT1 · 11-09-2012, 11:15 PM

Thanks Baclay9. Going with a 4.5/6 drop with spindles, coils, flip kit and C notch. Still up in the air about wheels. Thinking steelies or Team 3 5 stars. Decisions decisions.

Beautiful truck, but the gun rack is what really sets it off.

The front has 3" springs and 2.5" spindles, and a flip on the rear. The backs not as low as I hoped so im gona throw a hanger on to get 2 more inches.

That's my next project, paint and body. Need to replace the front fender and do a ton of body work. From your pics you paint looks pretty clean I like your colors too. Don't look like you need much

its got a 350 out of a 96 caprice with stock tranny, runs great!
gonna actually take the step side off and put a fleetside bed on it and then lower it 5/6, i know a lot of people like the stepside and its rare but just not for me.
