    Thanks Grit Dog, and it is a project with downfalls, that's why I wanted opinions on the price. I already purchased 3" Tough Country EZ Ride springs and 35" wheel and tire combo. I bought it because of the body and chassis condition and the amount of beer the po and I had consumed that day.. The...

    Thanks for the reply and I know I could do both. Im 63 years old and I really just want to focus on my other squares. I've been up and down about selling this one but after five years of it taking up half my shop, I've had to tell myself it"s time to let it go.

    I bought this five years ago and had big plans. The previous owner was over his head with this and gave up. Frame and body is in great shape. The truck has never been in mud. No rust. One ton axels. 3 inch body lift, 6 inch Skyjacker springs. MT wheels. I have many pics but couldn’t post but...

    Does dash pad go under windshield weatherstripping?

    I had to trim mine to get it to fit. I hated having to cut a 400 dollar dash pad btw, but had too.

    VHT Ceramic Header coat results.

    This may help anyone who’s wondering if the header coating really works. I bought new Hedman’s and bead blasted them. Following VHT’s instructions and testing my patience…I’m really pleased with the results. It’s been three months and maybe 500 miles. Hell, maybe you guys already knew this but I...

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    Im still learning about these trucks! My 84 K-10 had the original negative arch front springs when I bought it. Definitely more than two leafs. It rode rough as hell.

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    Great advice from everyone. I just have to add, I've never seen a spring pack with just two leafs. Maybe an attempt to soften the ride, leafs were removed causing the suspension to bottom out much easier.

    I'm at a loss..

    Very true, I've had lines that were collapsed on the inside and acted like a check valve.

    Top Speed

    I have a mechanically sound 86 C10 that I've had slightly over 100mph several times. I'll cruise my 84 K10 on I-95 at whatever speed traffic is moving. 85 mph for hours at the time. My trucks are solid and well maintained though. I've rode in shitbox squares that dont feel safe at any speed.
