Been busy renovating half of my house. The truck has been put on hold for now. These are a few older pictures that I'm just throwing out here for ya'll. When I get back on it, oh yea, the rims will be the new version truck.

Finished up with the steering gear. The re-build was easy.

Adjusted the sector shaft and the input shaft pre-load. A spanner wrench makes it simple. I didn't have one, so I improvised. Worked out great.

Okay, everything blasted, painted, and pre-assembled. I won't bore you with all the details. Ya'll know how these front ends go together.

A weekend of wrench'n. Some highlights are 3" dropped spindles, 1" dropped springs, offset upper control arm shafts, (for more camber), aftermarket upper control arms, and raised stabilizer bar brackets.

Also added this door hinge spring that was missing since I've had the truck. Wow, the door stays open now.

 Problem with the front brake hoses. The tall line is for my year truck (85). The "shorty" line is for a 1980 C10. I can't use the tall line because it hits my aftermarket spindle, making it impossible to install correctly. The other fits just fine. Problem solved. Just a heads-up, hoping this helps others.
