Update on work progress....... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

over the last 9mos I managed to refurbished the outside of my top and hatch, install a lift and get tires/rims. Here are some pics along the way.

The lift is a tuff country six inch all spring lift, tires are 35x12.5x15 with 10x15 wheels having 3.75 backspacing.

First pic is before lift etc.

next pic is after lift but with old 31s.

Last pic is the clearance into the garage. I had to air down to 10lbs to get inside. Gives me incentive to finally run 220v into the garage to run my compressor. The six inch lift actually gave me 7in. Hope the springs will eventually settle down a bit. Why is it that when they advertise something as a certain size it's not. Like buying a two x four, it's not.

Guess you won't be going into the garage with it too often!
