Kept it like this for a little while and decided I wanted to lower it, so i started getting parts together.
the plan was to do decranked keys up front with shackles and hangers out back.
While I was getting my parts together I decided to get some rims so i bought a set of 22s

By this time I had my shackles and hangers, so one day i decided to go ahead and pull the z71 blocks and out the shackles on

Then i found a deal on Craigslist for a fiberglass gaylords bed cover for $250, I talked to the guy and offered him $150 and he took it! So i picked it up that night

I began debating on whether I wanted to do the hangers or go lower, so i just decided to take the dive and ordered mcgaughys flip and notches and some mcgaughys 17+ 2" spindles

I dig it man...what a difference from what you started with

oldschoolsilvy 06-09-2012 10:52 PM

Thanks guys, I'm loving the stance so far.. still need helper bags and some colormatching then hopefully start on performance, eventually I would like a built lq9/80e and maybe a supercharger one day :burnout:
