Hey guys thanks for the votes  ;D

1986 C10 Body Dropped to the Rockers
Triangulated 4 link out back
Stock Crossmember modified to narrow track width 1-1/8" per side
Front fenders sectioned 1-7/8" so that they match the rear
Raised Bed Floor
Tailgate modified with spaced out Chevrolet emblem like the older C10's had
Chopped the top 2-1/4" using all stock glass except for the windshield

Hope to finish all the body work soon and get started on the interior.

by sectioned front fenders you do mean you actually made the hole shorter? in order to match with the rear fender?
