Couple pics of what I'm starting with. Has a 2.3 and a 4 speed. Want to keep the 4 banger and have a better stance
Will be slow and on a tight budget

Looking for something like this

Getting a straight hood and fender after work tomorrow. This thing really needs a paint job it's bad

I paid $500 for mine and the only thing stock on the front is the hood. It got munched but the frame was straight. LMC truck has alot of aftermarket parts for reasonable. Bone yard Parts are getting more scarce in good condition. There have been a few guys here that have lowered their truck. Finding the right pitman arm for the steering box would be real important.
