thanks. im hoping to get her going where shes somewhat dependable as a weekend driver. and eventually a full on restored truck to be proud of. i got it with it not running. the engine had some good work done to it. lots of goodies under the hood. edlebrock 4 barrel intake, holly carb. moroso valve covers and milodon oil pan. cleaned up the distributor and put in a new magnetic pickup and it started right up on the first try. got to replace a rear axle seal and get some new header gaskets. then tackle my cosmetic stuff i want cleaned up.

well after getting the axle seal in and doing a brake job on the rear i got all the tires mounted with the new wheels and ive decided to just leave the lift kit thats on it. might upgrade the shocks later for a set of ranchos. so if anyone is interested a brand new 4 inch rough country lift let me know. haha

I havent got long enough shocks to tell yet (because if i move it they will be the wrong size) but it looks really steep like it went from a 55degree angle stock to an 80 degree angle lifted not being exact just guestimating from looking at it. it actually looks steep enough that the shock will rub my axle housing off the bracket. again not saying it will but it looks like it.
