Thanks Guys, I am REAL happy with it, just had a guy at the store ask me who painted it, I said it's original paint,,, he about choked. The bezels do need to be repainted, they have faded, gotta love that CA sun. They are the stock shock towers, the shocks and springs fit real nice. The one leak I Thought I had was the rear pinion, seems somebody forgot to tighten the plug!! That was a nice relief, I was not looking forward to doing a pinion seal. Tightened up the valve covers,,, no more oil drips! So far, I am into it for about $3500!!! 1800 for the truck, 1200 lift, bushings and tires, 120 new mahogany steering wheel (grant) front brake lines, cap/rotor/plugs, 2 gas caps, instrument cluster(ebay), and quite a few hours (and beer) with rubbing compound and Meguires! It has turned out great. Thanks again!

MBBFord, it is just front leveling coils from Superlift, and they are 255/85/16 on DC-1 16x8. They are about a 33" tire, tall skinny. I think once I get the weatherstrip,and window seals replaced, I might put him in the car show up here. For a 30 yr old truck, damn,,, ya gotta love how they made them back then! I will take some of the interior this weekend, the only problem is I forgot to take some of it when I first got it. I actually think the severe Oxidation must have saved the paint!
