Got back to working on the truck some.

A week ago i decided to replace the shocks all the way around as 3 of the 4 collapsed. And my step dad told me there was a vibration so he had the tires rebalanced. While adding the shock extenders to the rear i noticed 1 of the flip kit perches was not seating properly in the pocket of the rearend leaf spring.I had to remove it, took it to my vice and pull it in about a 1/2 inch and it fits great now. Now onto my last big project. Seats! I had replaced them with another pair that was not leather. I ended up getting rid of the 87 suburban console and did measurements and found a 2008 silverado jump seat console fit perfectly between the seats and it even sits good on the floor. I had to trim the tabs back about a inch and redrill.Once i get the console back toggether(replacing the arm rest cover). I`ll take pictures of everything mentioned. I`m almost at the finish line with this truck. 17 years in the making..

thanks
