Thanks Shawn, no I didn't yet but the Super Chevy Show is next week end and I'm taking it to the classic car ride into the show sat morning, after that the engine, tranny, and whole front end is being removed and rebuilt then the sway bar will be going on.

How much lower do you want to go? You could get lower profile tires on the front like 245/60/15 and/or cut one round off the stock springs for an additional 2in drop.

Yes smaller front tires for sure, if I cut a ring off, than I'll have to drop the rear a little more, and than it will have to have new wheels and tires, **** I better not let the wife see this she'll ****, I just told here the other day, I would love to find a crew cab, and put all of my half ton stuff on it, and she didn't freak out like I thought she would. The only problem I'm having is finding one for a decent price, the ones I find around here, everybody thinks they are made of Gold. I looked at one yesterday, body was pretty screwed (front clip, and bed) cab was good, interior was OK, and he wanted 4500, motor didn't start, he said when he parked it the tranny was shot. If I could find just a good cab w/ doors, I have everything else, I could take off my 82 Long Bed.

Damn, that's high for that crew, I almost bought a mint 86 crew for $4000.

On your 82, you could just cut 1/2 a round for a 1in drop its just a pain to get the spring in.

sounds to me like you need a decision of which one you want done first, C or K, and go from there.
