    Alan grove brackets

    I'm using the V-belt type. I guess no one else is using this set up. Im really happy with it, used a Sanden type compressor and made my own AC lines, it works really well with stock condenser, evaporator and dryer. The belt length seems a little long. I will keep up the research.

    86 front suspension

    Working on my front suspension this week, new ball joints, bushings and springs. Damn what a job. Any of yall use different alignment settings then the factory? My truck is stock height but i still want it to handle, not to worried about tire wear. How much negative camber are you using? Thanks
