Looks good. I just got an 85 a few weeks ago and haven't done anything to it yet. It has a crate motor 350 and plenty of potential.

Nice!* * I thought about dropping mine, but I just left the spring clamps on the leaves.* Can't wade through flooded streets with lowered vehicles.* Wanna come over and do some cosmetic work on my truck?*

Pulled off the big bulky mirrors and installed an old school peep mirror.

Glad I didn't lower the truck. It pushed all that water aside while I watched a 325-series BMW stall in the high water.

I'd have to save up for a bagged setup before I install any drop kit on mine. But, DAMN! Your truck's stance is SWEEEEEEEET!
