here are the latest pics. i have now put on the hedman headers (my self and a huge pain in the ass) and flowmaster 40s to dumps. it sounds good but could really use a radical cam... but that would cause me to buy all sorts of new parts. heads, pistons, lifters, pushrods. and the list goes on. you all know exactly the situation im in. lol. so much to do. so little money. thanks for the good feed back guys.

same here! love that stance and would like to know how you dropped it and what size wheels and tires? Looks like a spindle drop and possibly no drop in rear for that ultimate rake but I'm just guessing. Those also look to be 17'' wheels, once again, taking a guess.

well the wheels are thrust II and they are 16in. im not for sure on what was done to the front but the guy i bought it from said nothing was done to the front. i think it is just older suspension. but i dont think so, because that front end looks pretty low. and the back had adjustable shackles and they are all the way up on the adjustments. i was actually thinking about lowering it but everyone thinks it looks better this way. even my girl friend who is a f... girl. i cant even type it. haha. no but seriously i think if you guys just bought some oversized shackles and maybe some lowering springs in the front it would look identical to this. and thanks for all the good comments. its positive encouragement for me to keep it and make it even nicer.

It is definitely dropped in the front. Looks about 3" down.

Looks like the front sits just like my '84 GMC did, and I KNOW it wasn't lowered..the front springs were just horridly worn out..Put on a set of gabriel coil over overload shocks to add 300 lbs of capacity to each side, and it brought it up to almost stock..
