This is the picture that would make anyone want to build one of the 73-87 trucks without a doubt.

Best part, it's still got a stock floor, bolt-on kit, and still gets more lift then the "other" kit on the market.

Are the lic. plates in Arizona "larger" then the ones we have in California ?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think there's going to be a new demand for a lic. plate section kits now.

nice ....... very nice

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Just take out the numbers it'll have clearence. :)

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Thanks for the pics. It appears that the most cutting is required in the bed. Could that be resolved by raising the bed floor and tubs?

You may already know this, but we used a early 60's blower fan on my 82 Blazer a/c box. It is lower profile, and gave us almost an inch of additional clearence. We did have to section the box to gain the rest of what we needed, but it would clear with a 28" tall tire. Of course that was with a stock crossmember.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

man now i know what my trucks going to look like when i d mine....

i love it, is that 20'' rims
would it sit that low with 22'' rims

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

They mentioned above that the rears are 22" and the fronts are 20" but they did put the rears up front just to check and they did fit fine. Dino just liked the 22/20 combo better!

Great looking truck for a box! :lol: JK

Looks killer maybe Ill finish my projects I have now and get one of those.....

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

thanks

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

With a 2.5" drop spindle and a ART lower Strong Arm you can lay frame with a 22" wheel and tire combo (assuming its between 29" and 30" tall).

If you're a baller slap on a 3" drop spindle and a ART lower Strong Arm and lay out on a twenty-foe (31" diameter tire)!:phat:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Man this may save my bacon ,thanks:metal:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Yes, I think the "cutting" in the bed could be eliminated/minimized by raising the bed-floor and the tubs.

Thanks for the heads up on the blower motor... there's still a whole lot I don't know!

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

I remember just seing that very unit laying in the floor of some Blazer ;)

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Really nice truck. I am glad you have a photo of the engine bay; now I know what I need to loose on mine BEFORE I put it back together. Haha.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

really i might just do that, i didnt think i could get to the ground on 24's

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Yeah, all that time (and $$$) spent and now the dumb@ss owner changes his mind....:crazy:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

I'm sure you could find someone w/a 74~74 that could use it.... Ooops, I meant 73~87 ;) .

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

What do you consider a "stock" floor? just because the cab floor hasn't been cut, the bed floor has. If you going to be critical of Air Rides system you should at least compare apples to apples.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

If it goes, it will be part of a "package deal". You know anyone that wants to update their 74~74 to an 82?

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

truck looks awesome, good job on it....
whats the story on the baby blue one in the background?

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Air Ride, small c-notch in rear rails (stock bed floor), Level Pro, and Strong Arms.

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Oh thats my soon to be other truck......... just kidding :lol:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

Oh you can't fool us Dino.....because if that belonged to you it would be laying on the dirt and not just have a small c-notch and Strong Arms.:rolleyes:

Re: Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)
 

I was refering to the cab floor in the truck being stock. You can now get the "body drp" "channeled" look without having to modify the trucks floor, or Z'ing the front rails. I was compairing apples to apples when I posted the pictures of the two available bolt-on systems for the 73-87 trucks. Some people will like the truck comp-letely on thje ground, where another will be happy with the truck a little higher off the ground.
If you want me to be critical of systems I will be glad to do so. I can go into details outlining the difference between the two systems if that's what you would like. Apples to Apples, laying out to not laying out.

Thats what I was thinking. :metal:
