Body lift on my 86

I got the cab done this afternoon, I'll finish the bed tomorrow morning. Then bolt on new fenders, bumper and pushbar.

Surprisingly they broke loose so easy I just needed a ratchet, pb blasted them everyday the week before. Only one broke and that was under the battery tray which was practically fused haha.

The bottom bumper bolts could slide one inch up and down.Slide them all the way up and tighten them, then get a piece of steel pipe and cut two pieces one inch, lay them on the top under the bumper where the top hole is and get two bolts that are one inch longer for the top.

The truck is coming along nicely, what other plans do you have for it?

I have one new fender for mine, now all I need is another fender, a hood, tailgate and a bed.

There are different ways of doing it, here is what I did:
