Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

That sounds like a sweet deal I think it will be a million times better than your stock set up.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

My truck Supposably has a edelbrock intake and carb. This sounds better so I think Ill take it and sell my old edelbrock stuff.. Maybe make some money for some new interoir parts or something else? Why part of my project should I start with everyone?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

When I was at oreillys I was talking to a guy that for pulling you gotta build a bracket that has a fold down block that stops it from going all the down on the axle when you have a load on. Ever heard of that?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

See how it wont let the axle go all the way up the frame when your pulling or have a heavy load.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

Its mostly for pulling. You can fold it up when Your not pulling.

Im thinking of getting rachet type rear lockers.. what do you think?
