Aren't you guys a little too old to be talking about Paris Hilton? Haha, I'm joking.

Hey Vile, I recognized that truck but couldn't figure it out... It's the truck on the latest "you know what" catalog.  :D

Nice drop.  That's about what I want.  Just hunkered down and aggressive, but not slammed.

Also, I know it may be a dumb question seeing as how common they are, but are those side mirrors from the 67-72 trucks, were they an option on these trucks, or did they come from another application altogether?  I don't see them in the catalog here.  I'd definitely like to replace my mirrors with those someday.

Your going to end up regretting this.  This is not a good way to lower a vehicle.  It fatigues the spring and makes it weak.

The mirrors are factory for these trucks.  They are the below the eyeline mirrors.  When the big dumbo mirrors became an option, most people skipped these.
