This is how she sits now. I got a set of new (30+ year old) take-off spindles, new springs, and shocks and we're back in business. Thanks you all for your help!
Great looking NJ Burb neighbor. Check those rear wheel well seams out above the tires.

Still got the lowering spindles ? I'd be interested if you did

Yes, I do. I also have the C-notch components for the rear drop.

Wow, that looks so much better!!

Thanks, I think so too!

Sweet rig!
Personally I was diggin the slammed look, but what you did is more functional fo sho.

I contemplated keeping/finishing the drop, but I my daily (a Mazda B2200) has a static drop, and I wanted something different (more functional).

Thanks! Yeah, I picked up some body panels (rear quarters & rockers) but I can't find the wheel housings (LMC & rock auto seem to be sold out).

Yeah I'm talking about the inner housing where the seam is above the middle of the tire. That's where the inner body panel meets the wheel house and is welded. They are know to rust open then the tires start slinging **** into the inside of the quarters and they start to rust from the inside out. I've had quarter panels I've opened up with 6" of silt packed up in there. Another easy way to check is through the rear speaker holes behind the 2nd row seats. Look in there with a flash light.
