    Lowered 2 door 2wd

    I added some drop shackles to mine after the axle flip to get the ride height where I wanted it.

    Period accessories and add ons (early 90's)

    I don't have a picture of it but my truck has a sweet fake car phone antenna! It is stuck to the back window.

    Fitting a 15x9.5 -.75 on a 5/7 drop?

    Not sure what spindles you have, some widen the track by 1 in and some don't. I don't like those lowering A arms because they really reduce ground clearance, not to mention they would probably be more expensive than a new set of wheels in the correct offset. Your biggest problem will most...

    Disc brake upgrade

    I made my own rear disk conversion kit using parts from Speedway. I use those same calipers as the little shop kit, I think they are from an 80's cadillac and Speedway has them. Then I used their weld on caliper brackets and rear discs from a 95 Impala SS or cop car. I had to enlarge the lug...

    Acquiring Arteb Brazil GMT400 headlight reflectors

    Can anyone give us a review of the lighting performance? Is it noticeably better than stock? Is there any kind of cutoff beam?

    Basic coilover write up

    Correct, I recommend the stiffest spring. Even with it the tires (28" tall) hit the wheel wells on big dips but I like my truck low and I still haven't gotten around to raising the wheel wells.

    Basic coilover write up

    I have Viking coil-overs on the front of my truck with dropped spindles and stock control arms. They will go real low if you want to, I estimate I have dropped the front about 5" and they will go lower. I have had them on the truck for several years with no problems, they are double adjustable...

    Limited Slip/Posi Conversion

    I managed to find an Auburn style posi out of a 90s Caprice cop car in the junkyard and it was a direct swap in my 8.5" 10 bolt. I kept my existing ring and pinion and was able to perform the whole swap on the cheap relatively. The downside is those units are not rebuildable so you just have...

    Belltech 6/8 Drop Kit

    I am lowered about 5/8 on my truck. I needed the C notch and I sectioned the bed support that goes over the rear end. I have shorter shocks in the rear and shock extenders to make it work. The front tires will hit the inner wheel wells on big dips (28" tall tires). You may have to roll your...

    Has anyone 'tucked' the spare tire carrier?

    Amazing that we both came up with the same bumper idea independently. I hadn't thought of trying to put a roll pan behind the bumper, that is a good one. I did hang my bumper pretty high up trying to minimize the gap. The bumper is a repop, good luck finding a clean Econoline bumper in the...

    Has anyone 'tucked' the spare tire carrier?

    I used the same bumper on my truck. Did you get the idea from my post on the 67-72 truck forum? Looks good by the way, I still have my spare in the bed.

    OBS Upper/Lowers and Coilovers

    Their catalog is kind of confusing, the various kits are listed on pg 21 of their online catalog. The part number is A224-550RK I think. Apparently it is the same kit that is used on G-bodies. They have two different height options available and I went with the lower one. I have the 550 coil...

    OBS Upper/Lowers and Coilovers

    I have Viking Coilovers on the front of my 94 and I like them a lot. They were reasonably priced and are well made, I am running the stock A arms.

    88-94 radio lights

    Ah-ha! They are removable, thanks a bunch for the pictures. Do you have any tips on dissembling the radio? I started taking mine apart but it seemed like I was going to break it so I quit and put everything back together.

    88-94 radio lights

    That is what I was afraid of, the lights being soldered in place. Does anyone have any pictures of the radios disassembled?

    88-94 radio lights

    Has anyone opened up their radio and replaced the bulbs? Most of mine aren't working and I can't seem to find any posts about people replacing the bulbs in the older style radios.

    K1500 lowered 4/6 drop with 275 wide tires ?

    I have 20x10 wheels with 5.5" offset and 275 rear tires on my truck. It is lowered about 8" in the rear, I had to trim and roll my fender lips to get everything to fit but it fits great now. Wheels with 6" backspacing might fit better. Up front I have 8.5" wide wheels with 245 tires, I am not...
