83 LWB flatbed
Its stock for the most part. It still needs alot work but wheels pretty good for now. I'm not too fond of the rear lift blocks and the 33" All Terrains but they will replaced someday soon.

Looks good. The interior looks a ton better than mine. Definately a good platform to start from. I like the color as well, thinking about that same color for my truck.

Thanks guys, I love the color as well. The carpet in the interior is gone, had a nice smell to it. Next step is to install the rear locker, chromo rear shafts and new wheel bearings front and rear.

Thanks fellas. The rear lift blocks have been replaced with a custom hybrid spring pack. A few other items have installed to help things along.
No turning back now.
stock birfs will be upgraded very soon

Thanks man, No pulling to the right and the mount seems ok when I checked outside. but the springs are 'rough country' and are pretty beat up and saggy. I think a proper lift should solve the odd look the PS leaf mount gives in that pic.

Thats was the handy work of the pervious owner , its helps on depatures ( marginal ) but canceled out the 63" chevy leaf option all together.
The tires are KM2's, I mean I wish had Krawlers but...$$$
Nowhere near complete but getting there. Thanks getbent2night!
