drum brakes all around
rally wheels

After:
ZZ4 crate with a thumper comp cam
vintage air
automatic turbo 350
4 inches in the front and 5 in the rear (i used the cpp
drop kits which included a drop spindle 5 lug conversion
and added a 1" lowering block in the rear)
power brakes with discs in the front drums in the rear
pro wheels' jet v. rims


and the little things... led taillights which i love, euro style head lights, grant removable steering wheel for security purposes, 72 front bumber off my dads 72 burb, rear bumber,msd egnition,gm performance valve covers, 3 power steering pumps :smoke:, line of fire turn and brake signal, custom audio system, gas tank relocation (underthebed) alittle rattle can resto here and there and cant forget my fishing pole holders i fabed up myself in wood shop class ... if i missed any please fill free to let me know.


Im looking forward to possibly put a 9 inch ford or a gm 12 bolt with 4.11 gears. maybe some new pro comp guages with a aluminum instrument cluster bezel, some driver and passenger side window tint and a spray in bed liner.

Alright yall tell me what u think positive and negitive feedback wanted!

What size rims and tires are those? I am looking to do pretty much the same to mine and I like your size. Do you know the back spacing? All that info would be helpful.

Thanks,

VEX
