GetWithIt Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Managed to get the drop spindles/shackles/hangers on my 2000 Silvy project....Still have another adjustment left for the rear springs, so I might go ahead and raise them another hole to drop the back even more..It's definitely not my SS, but I'm having fun fixing it up...Just put some new windows in it last week, and am on the search for a center console for the interior...Eventually going to shave the stake pockets..debadge/demold and put in a roll pan. Was contemplating putting a Intimidator wing on the tailgate as well...Click on image for bigger pic.....

MidwestSS Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 sweet! edd you should looks on craigslist theres one in town for 150 i think. also wheels are nice/rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I think the front is actually a bit too low. The rear looks good. Lower is only great if you can still drive it around without the tires rubbing and the truck bottoming out easily. I would however get rid of the huge tires. It looks like you have the 275/55R20's on it. If you go to a 275/40 or 275/45 it will match the lowered look so much better and perform better overall. That truck looks great though. Paint is very clean, love the color, wheels are sharp, etc. That will make for a great truck on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the spoiler..Hopefully it's still on there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree about the tire size Zippy..... when it gets time to replace tires, I'm going with a 40 or 45 series....These tires are like brand new, so I figured I would run them until I get money saved back for new tires and other things...I would sell them and use the money to put towards another set of tires, but around here that could take quite a while to actually find a buyer, and by then the tires would be worn down..lol........Surprisingly, I have no issues with rubbing in the front. I've driven it all over town like I normally do, and it has done fine so far. I think once the back gets dropped another inch, it will make it look alot better.

1slow6.0 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I had the 275 55 on my wheels I hated it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetWithIt Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) I had the 275 55 on my wheels I hated it Yeah, I'm just glad to finally be getting some work done on it. Ever since selling my SS, I've always wanted another "SportTruck", so I picked this up for pretty cheap and wanted to give it a "factory sport-truck look"...I have been putting money into it off and on over the last few months, and it has come a long ways since I brought it home... Down the road I'm going to go with some simple 22's and appropriate tires, but for now it works for me and I'm happy with it.

GetWithIt Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Took the truck back over to my friends shop tonight...Had the rear dropped a little more..Has the perfect stance for me now. Need to save up for some other things, and hopefully next year get the body mods/ new paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
