 Just a few quick profile shots after the 5/5 drop and a rebuild of the steering and suspension! 5.7,auto and so far just a bucket full of bolts.

I had to take the bed off to c-notch it plus it gave me the oppertunity to eye ball problems. Those are 20's from Boss Motorsports but I will have to buy a taller set of center caps (which Boss makes) to cover the dust cap. Almost every thing is in bad shape or on the break of it so it will be in the garage for some time. This site has been the ultimate key for info and advice, Thanks for all your help!

YEAH, I BOUGHT A COMPLETE PROTHANE BUSHING KIT FOR 130$ FROM SUMMIT, THE ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE WAS THE A-ARM BUSHINGS WHICH USED THE SLEEVE OFF THE OLD BUSHING. MY OLD ONES LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINALS AND AFTER 25 YEARS AND A TORCH THEY DID NOT WANT TO COOPERATE SO I ENDED UP BY NEW CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND TAKING A TORCH TO THEM JUST TO GET THE METAL SLEEVE. OVER ALL I AM SATISFIED WITH IT, EXCEPT FOR MY CAB BUSHINGS, 1/2' DIFFERENCE BUT THATS A ANOTHER JOB. THE PAINT SCHEME WAS LIKE THAT WHEN i BOUGHT IT, i LIKE THE IDEA AND THE COLORS BUT THE QAULITY WAS POOR, I'M THINKING MAYBE I DID IT ONE NIGHT WHEN I HAD TO MUCH WHISKEY, HA-HA!

are those boss 335's? Ive been searching high and low for a truck like ours that has those. How do they fit on the front, such as inner fender clearance and inner suspension clearance? Couple more questions, do they stick out in the front or are the tucked in a bit any rubbing issues.
thanks,
clint

No rubbing issues yet but I have not driven it that much. Yeah they are Boss Motor 335 and they fit nice. The center caps will not fit on the front but Boss offers a deeper center cap that fits. I got the wheel/tire package from mrwheeldeal.com. They came mounted and balanced and ready to ride in 7 business days. I would recommend him to any one. Hope this helps.
