My 84

Just thought i would share my truck with everone. tell me what ya think. I bought this truck about a little while back with just a 3 inch body lift and 32's. Put suspension lift on and just got it on 37's. gonna be pulling the body lift off. Flatbed about like the all pro one. Tubbing the firewall and probably movin the front axle forward. Needs 529's but im in school so no money, so stock gears for now and soon to be welded in rear. Few other things im probably forgettin.

P.S. i've never posted pictures before so if this doesnt show up then any hints on how to do it would be helpful.

how much suspension lift did you add?

Definately trim the fenders and loose the body lift it will look and perform way better

I thought i was theonly one running 37+ tires with stock gears!!!!!

Looks good!

i did RUF's and moved the hanger forward an inch and didn't have to touch the firewall even with my 39.5x15 TSL's! and the approach angle rocks!!

I like it. I've got a cream 84 that I have just started building up, too. Very fun little trucks. Go for a bed bob, if you have acces to the tooling. It's a cool mod that's pretty much free and helps in more ways than one. Here's a pic of mine. Rears up front, 63" chevys, quick and simple bumpers, trail gear sliders, square front driveshaft, 32x11.50 (for now), and some more little stuff. Have fun!
