Out for a drive. This will be my ride height once I get my drop spindles installed. Two-three inches off the ground in front. Is just such a big job to do the spindles, ball joints, disc brakes and master/booster. I'll probably do it over the wintertime.

Installed my new carb last month. New aluminum Holley street avenger 670. One of the best mods I've done. Edelbrock carb went into the trash where it belongs. Huge difference in throttle response and power. Starts 10x easier now too. Costs about twice as much as a new Edelbrock 1406, but Worth every penny.

Wow, just went through all 9 pages. Truck is looking great! Will be back with more questions about your bags...

Square_78 · 08-19-2013, 01:51 AM

Cool. Anything you need to know just ask. Where in BC are you? I am in Kelowna.

Playing around with my tail lights tonight. Blue dot lens on the right and stock lens on the left. Wow what a difference in brightness! Plus they look pretty cool too.

Tail lights look great too. I am in Cranbrook. I just raised my truck back up this year. But now that it's up, it looks like a 4x4. Might do a 3" drop this winter. Picked up a Blazer last winter, thinking it would look great bagged. Still prepping it for the ICBC inspection. Almost there, just waiting for e-brake lines. Might not get a drive this summer. Running out of time. But have been driving the heck out of the pickup.

timski69gmc · 08-20-2013, 12:41 AM

Funny, I was thinking of adding the lower moldings to mine. Yours look really good. Might have to order up a set. But then again, I have no other trim or tags, wonder if it would look off.

Square_78 · 08-20-2013, 12:48 AM

Mine was exactly like yours when I bought it. All trim and moldings shaved off. The lower trim made a huge difference to the look. Then I added the white roof and it gave it a nice classy look. I think you should do it for sure. You will love it.

Square_78 · 08-20-2013, 01:17 AM

Thanks! It's getting there. I'm happy where its at now. I few more things to do. Drop spindles and disc brakes over the winter. Lokar floor shifter, and new carpet and seat and that's about it for now. In a year or so I'll do a Porterbuilt Dropmember and race line 20/22 wheels. Ill rebuild the motor at the same time and cut it down to a shortbed. That will be a major overhaul. I need a better shop before I can even think about doing that.

New smaller tires front and back. Exactly 1" lower. Now has 215/60r15 fronts and 215/70r15 rears. I'm going to get some 255/60r15 of the same diameter for the rear when I have some extra money to spend. This will do for now. Front control arms are 1" off the ground when aired out. Still no drop spindles yet, and near perfect alignment
