I'm excited to see the black interior with the gold. My truck is copper and saddle, but I'm thinking about a black interior.
What's the suspension setup in those start pics? The tire size?
Cheers

From what I can tell, its has 2" drop spindles up front, and a 4" drop shackle in the back. The front tires are 235 70 R15, and the rear are 275 60 R15.
I bought 2" drop springs for the front and 5" rear leaf flip kit for the back, but have not installed yet. I am thinking of going with Caltracs monoleaf which you can order with a slight drop, and then also putting Caltrac bars on for traction control. I hope someday to take the 350 and turn it into a 383. It currently has a newer GM crate motor with approx. 25-30k miles on it and has the Vortec style heads. It runs fine, but I would like a little more get up and go. If I had the money I would try to put in a pro-charger and rebuild the motor with forged everything, but thats expensive. Plus I would have to get a beefier rear-end and transmission as well. One change effects everything which makes some of these projects way out of my budget. So instead, for now, I am focused on cosmetic stuff that I can afford and do in my free time.
