[dangerranger83]

Nice. I'm wondering what the type of truck your making meaning is it a 2wd pre-runner type?

Ever get the engine to run properly?

yeah i plan on buying the bedside im about half way saved up hopefuly ill get some bigger tire just after that and a lift after that...i started with the front fenders cause they were only $45

took the bed off

got an idea what my wheels will look like

i used an angel grinder to take off the leaf shackles so i can flip them

got one bolt in..i have to drill them out to half inch

 

[dangerranger83]

This truck is going to be sweet!!!! Cant wait to see more progress.

 

[Dakota83]

the tech library says 88-98 fullsize

 

[Dakota83]

my girlfriends dad told me those are all different lengths around 120inches...what truck is it out of?

 

[dangerranger83]

64-inch leaf spring from a 1/2-ton Chevy/GMC.

Got that from the tech. library. You can also have them re-arched.

so long as its a 1/2 ton truck it shouldnt matter what cab/bed configuration it has.
