So originally i had an 87 standard cab and got rid of it for this grey one i have now, i purchased it for 1700 from a friend and it was a heck of a steal. it runs better and even sounds better than my last one. But i love to go wheelin, who doesnt right? so it is my DD and wheeler, so i have made some mods to it. So far i have put 35s on it and straight axled it, i am getting a bumper off of TG hopefully this week, then imm gonna get soem hella lights mounted on that. then a winch. but i have a problem, as you will see in the pics coming up, with my solid axle, i have so much flex up front, but my rear just does not have too many, now i have talked to my friends about it and they say it has nothing to do with leaf springs, because it has really good leaves on it now, could i just get like 1 1/2 shackles and it would lift it higher and give me more flex?

anywho, here are the pics from when i first got the truck to what it is now, i dont have any pics of the inside, but i have a cb radio, 1000 watt amp, 12' sub, a kenwood deck...and...a seat cover cuz my seat was ripped lol..


so this is the truck when i first got it, it came with the tires it has on it now, and the ones in the back of the truck.. the blue one is my old one, i bought it fro 900 and sold it for 1800













Now it is onto the straight axle swap!



Now the axle is all done!


next, takin out the ifs!




and its out!!


now some pics of it done! flexin!





and that is all! i hope you guys like what i have done so far! please let me know any ideas for that back or any ideas period. thanks!

 

Looks AWESOME, what are the specs on the lift and tires?

 

 

yeah i love, it! i am in the works of getting a driveshaft at the moment, i had to get my extended. and i am running 35/12.5 and i actually do not know the spec on the lift, it was a kit i bought from my buddy. he said they are a leaf spring like a chevy s10 style kind of.

 

Well it looks really great!

 

thanks man!! yours will look great once you are done with it!
but now i gotta figure out what to do with the back, cuz as you can see the front has more than enough flex, but my back does not. my buddy said he could do the rear kit as well, but it is expensive, my friends told me i could just get some shackles? and that will even increase my flex in the rear? cuz currently my front sits higher lol

 

Well I have gotten a few new things to the truck!
Finally got my front driveshaft today! Dam long spline cost me a fortune!
Then I got a protech headache rack I got that on! And soon I should get my 4 lights! Ill have pics soon hopefully!

 

Great job on the SAS swap, how does it handle on the road?

 

I love how it drives, a lil squirly on like a series of bumps, but I love you thread as,well!

 

Jeremy,
Thanks, do you have a Steering Stabilizer? That would help

 

yeahh, the guy who did it for me put in a steering stabilizer that is for an 73 to 83 chevy 1500.

 

this is my new bumper, i gotta paint it, i waited to paint it and it is rusting!!!! i gonna get it sandblasted and powder coated blak

 

..sorry some pics are sideways lol..
and then i got a protech headache rack


my lights should be here tomorrow, i am getting 4 6in off road lights, 2 are going under my stinger on my bumper, idk about the other 2 yet..

 

ok, so i bough some iso-heet for my truck, but i got to thinking, that is for like injector cleaning, probably a dumb question guys, but do i even have injectors on my 22R carbed engine? or would i only be able to use that stuff for like a 22RE?

Does anyone have any opinions on this stuff? or any suggestions on what i should use?
