i like this truck, but im curious- doesnt a 2-4 drop usually look level?
Nope. These trucks need a 3" diff Fr>Rr to ride level.
That's why a lot of owners go 4/7 or 5/8.

No the 2/4 drop keeps the slight rakei like this truck, but im curious- doesnt a 2-4 drop usually look level?
Dang. Beautiful truck. You did an awesome job building it. I know you wanted to keep it nice for shows, but how come it's been driven and started so little?
I gotcha. That's understandable considering all of the work you put into and just life in general getting in the way. I cam definitely relate. Whenever you get the new shoes, you'll have to throw up more pics. I'm sure we'd all like to see some interior shots. What kind of suspension did you go with on it?didn’t build it to drive. When you get really serious about doing the indoor ISCA type shows, you have to make a choice. Truck has a ton of chrome under it. Every fastener on truck is stainless Allen head, etc. Just way too nice for me to drive. Truck has won best paint in ISCA competition. Just stupid nice really. I have a lot of other toys to play with. I’ve built several high end builds, and this one honestly just got pushed to the back.
Got into asphalt late models around 2000, and that consumed all of my time for many years, so I never got back around to messing with the truck. Meanwhile I built an 87’ that my brother bought new, for him, in a similiar fashion, but lifted way up on 44’s with 17” lift, etc. Makes this truck look like I did a bad job...it’s nice.
I could go on and on with reasons, and other builds, to explain why it never got drove, or even started up. Life just got on the way, with kids, starting a business, etc...
On a brighter note, I’ve just gone through the truck with new brake lines, all hoses and fluids, water pump (ruined from sitting) alternator, etc. New wheels are shipping this week from Billet Specialties, 20” rear and 18” front so it will look more modern.
