Would like to clear that up....
Then i am going to rewire it with an 87 up complete tbi harness from a K5 with matching steering column....swap the intake over and add tbi and a 700R4 once i figure out what years of trux or cars can provide a donor 700 with appropriate length tail shaft housing etc.... (member...as carlos says....i'm Deet Da Dee with the 2wd stuff).
So....eventually i want it dumped bad with tucked up 20's or something crazy like a Dub City toy at walmart....but in the mean time....to use her as my shop go gitter....how low can i go with out porterbilts help etc....ie: xx spindles.....rear flip...shackles = xx can run factory rallies....
Smack me with some ideas guys....really wanna start in on this project instead of walking around it in the shop...lol.

Wow.. Well I will just drop a little note after all that.. First the tubs in the floor are not the same, but you can just un bolt them and put a 2wd one in.
Now for the lowering, you can go crazy or just a simple drop with springs and spindles. Here is a a old pic that road good and looked good. 3" spindles 2" springs up front, now I did a flip kit with a set of 94 4x4 blazer leafs. but you can do a set of 2" shackles and take the stock 1 1/2" black out and the long leaf out to get it down. Hope all this helps..
