neither she had the purse before I had the truck, but she likes how it matches.

If it ever gets to the piont that im painting trucks to match purses i may have to kill myself. lol

Now that looks sharp. What all has been done to it?

hirolr68 · 01-23-2010, 10:21 PM

Look guys I add the rallys wheels.

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-23-2010, 10:24 PM

Looks great. Needs bigger tires out back though. LOL

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 10:24 PM

hirolr68 · 01-23-2010, 10:32 PM

That's what I was thinking. A 3/5 or 4/6 drop would look awesome!

glock35ipsc · 01-23-2010, 10:46 PM

Some new ones I took today. I swapped steering wheels with the one from my rarely driven 70 K10, and swapped the rally trim rings for a new set of deep ones that I had in the attic. These are the first pics I think I have taken outside since I put the sport rear bumper on.

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 10:51 PM

sure looks good Bob! love the new trim rings... speaking of lowering??

glock35ipsc · 01-23-2010, 10:56 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah.......

I would like to go another inch in the rear and 2 in the front, but I need to swap the oil pan before I go much lower in the front though:

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 11:04 PM

i just seen a kit for $136

includes everything... you may have already seen it. and i got my old coils with 1 round chopped off you can have.

glock35ipsc · 01-24-2010, 12:29 AM

I already chopped one full coil of the 210,xxx mile springs!

I seem to recall seeing that oil pan kit somewhere. Hmmm, I wonder.......

Fastest32 · 01-24-2010, 12:42 AM

My 83.

menace121978 · 01-24-2010, 12:47 AM

well i guess spindles would be next in line!

menace121978 · 01-24-2010, 12:51 AM

**nlped** · 01-24-2010, 01:16 AM

Come on Bob, it's time to do some altitude adjustment to Fred...

This is me and dads. We bought it, but are good friends with the group of people that built it.

Has a hard running 434 big block (454 w/ 396 crank) it's built for mud drags, definitely not street use (race fuel is expensive)
