With the 3 inch dropped axle and mono springs it should set pretty good. The tires I bought are 285/60/15 for rear and 235/75/15 for front. I'm working at NAPA since retireing from UPS and the guys in machine shop said they can save me alot on the machine work. Also one of the perks for working there is I get parts at cost. They tell me I can build my engine for under $1500. Nothing crazy! Maybe this summer if I can get started on it I will get inspired to keep going. I built a 69 Camaro back when I got out of high school in 1978 and I guess this isn't any worse. My wife wants me to give up but I just can't seem to do it. I've pictured the truck done so many times in my head!Thanks for the help!!! Maybe one of these days I'll post some pictures of this basket case!!!
