I wouldn't mind having one of those trucks in a 4x4....let alone 2 with big engines like that.

Looking good.

I personaly woulda refreshed the I6, but then again I wouldn't've painted it purple either. Hope the project turns out the way you expect it too.

So you gonna lift two wheel drive trucks??

I lowered my 86 with a DJM 3/5 and loved it.

Yea the 80-82 lowering kits are pretty hard to come by now..
