    The Build of My $200 Dollar Truck

    First off, here is some backstory leading to how i came across this truck. Ever since i was young, i've always had a fascination with old school muscle cars.

The engine also bogs down a little while revving without a load on the engine. It also sounds like it has a...

    Exhaust through bed?

    I'm looking to change some stuff up on my truck pretty soon. I'm starting with the exhaust, and want to know if there's anyone who has put the exhaust out the side of the bed, or rollpan, and what parts they used for it. Any pics would be appreciated, thanks!

    Lowering question

    I recently ordered a 4-6 drop kit from DJM, and also ordered a set of tubular control arms and shackles for a 6-8 drop. I was wondering, would I have any issues with lowering control arms, springs, and spindles all together?
