Thanks Thanks for all of your work on this. From all of us that thought, hey, it's a pick up, how complicated could it be?!?
Lowering your truck Hey old cheby thanks for all the priceless information is it possible that you could show how you lowerd your truck i am considering doing that and would like some information i am sure the others would also thanks again.
Fatman superlow IRS with 2" spindles and air ride. Rear is a 95 T bird IRS welded up as high in the frame as possible to avoid cutting the bed floor, also with air ride.
Russ is like that~ Not bad, for an artist... He's even got a link on pin striping, just in case you might feel lucky.
I try to bring it to the top every now and again for the new guys. You can subscribe to this thread to make it easier to find.
Better yet, let's convince our awesome host to make it a "sticky"! This is too good a resource to get lost every 3-4 weeks. What do you guys say? Should this be a "sticky" and mandatory reading for all newbs? My vote is cast! Thanks Russ!
