Drove it to work tonight, rides just about like stock suspension. Sits @ 31" in front and back now, wheels will hopefully be in next weekend for it.

Using crown suspension spindles, my 15" stock wheels do not rub control arm. Did have to bend brake line down just a little so they wouldn't rub the ball joint nut and cotter pin.

It was $3900, it does still need rockers, cab corners and driver side door due to rust. Would like to change bed as well b/c of rust. But it does run very well.

Wheels finally came in, they didn't have right lugnuts so have to wait on those. Look pretty good, see how wore out tires on it are now. Almost a 0.5-1" difference in height.....even though their supposed to be same exact height.

That is a great looking truck!

Very similar to the plans that I have for my 94. Thankfully I don't have any rust problems like you do, but your paint and interior are in fantastic shape.

Alignment done, been driving this week and it runs great. Charged A/C again and pulled intermediate shaft to replace rag joint. Messed up pounding out rivets, lower shaft knocked down towards joint and can't pull it out.

Ended up ordering a new one from rock auto and may try to get the old one usable. Hopefully it will take up slack in wheel, it did have a good bit of slack in rubber disk side/side.

Next will be solid back glass, then stereo upgrade and finally rust fixed.

Ordered all new A/C components I'm going to install next week. Then pull a vacuum and let it sit awhile to check for leaks and finally charge it once more. Leaking out of compressor seal and the lines mounted to top from what i saw after spraying with soapy water.

Hoping to have cold A/C for longer than a week afterward.....hopefully years.

Been driving it on/off this week, around 1k miles on it since buying. Hasn't missed a beat yet, previous owner did say he drove it back and forth to work for the 4 years/30k miles he had it and only needed to replace starter and battery.
