Title: '83 Silverado Stepside
Post by: ndametz32 on May 25, 2009, 03:31:25 pm

Can't wait to start tearing into this. Plans for this summer are sand it, do all the bodywork and smooth it out (shaved handles, tailgate, etc.), and get it primed. Future plans include 19" or 20" wheels and tires, bags or coils (can't decide, just want to drag rockers) new paint job, re-do the interior, and many more ideas. I'm excited to talk to all of you and learn as much as i can from you along the way! Nick

Sweet truck  8) If you want to drag the rockers you will need to go with the bags.

What are your plans for the paint?  That paint looks awesome.  I love that yellow.

I can't decide what color to paint it yet. The paint is actually pretty bad up close..

So I've made the decision that I definately want to do air bags. I need to know what the cheapest way to lay frame is (I'm kinda on a budget, 17 years old with a part time job) Eventually I would love to step up to a Porterbuilt dropmember, tubular arms, spindles, a 4-link and a stock floor body drop.. however that doesn't fit in my budget right now. So basically I'm wanting to know what is the cheapest way to get it on the ground
