It's lowered.


It still has the twin beams in the front. Leaf springs in the back. Caltracs are coming this fall.

Very nice, I have the twin beam as well. But mine could use a rebuild, waiting on my catalogs to come in.

Really nice truck!

I'd have to say I've never seen drag radials on the front of a rear wheel drive...lol

What kinda time at the drag strip?

When I ordered the tires , I wanted them to match ( ride and looks). So that's how they made them on the front. Lol


I ran a 12.06 . I lifted for a split second because of wheel hop. That should be fixed for next year.

What sizes you running front & rear?
I've got the MT 295/55 15 on rear.

Did your time slip have a 1/8 mile time? What would that be high sevens?
