TL:DR - Almost convinced myself to do a 4/6 drop but decided I'd rather spend that money on a regear and I'm gonna continue on the level/bodylift path. I have a verbal deal on some LTZ 20s (Vmax, Texas Editions, whatever you wanna call them) that have been listed for over a month, 10min from...

Either of those wheels will look great on there. I think I'd lean toward ^those just a tad more to tie in with the Eskys

Thanks buddy! No worries, it's always a gamble with off brand stuff. I have a buddy here that's got a different Atoto from yours or mine in his '70 C10 and loves it too. I ordered a Pioneer last night lol

I don't even have to look at mine to do that :ROFLMAO:

Y U NO better pics??

So then the day before we're supposed to leave I decide to do the brakes. It's had this drum brake "moan" the whole time so I knew it needed rear shoes, so I got those and some new rotors/pads for the front. Front took 20min/side before work. LR drum slid off no problem, RR drum was STUCK. It...

So 3 days before we leave for vacation, I decide we can't be seen with all this faded plastic, so I tape everything up and do a test run on the front bumper with some stuff at work It was fucking gloss :poop: I didn't look at the can cuz I'd told them to order satin. Dammit So now 2 days...

So the next thing on the list was the tailgate spoiler. The old man I got the truck from had put on this crappy aftermarket GMC style one so his camper shell would seal (I did not want the camper shell when I bought the truck even though he offered it). Ordered a new one off Amazon. Remember the...

So I sold the Ram and bought this truck in the middle of dealing with cleaning out my grandparent's house and moving my grandma into an assisted living facility after my grandpa passed away in May. I made the very last cleanout trip before closing with this truck and my coworker's 6x12 trailer...

Got tired of the stock radio so I ordered up a Metra harness on Amazon and an Atoto headunit at the recommendation of @Oktain . Should've known better than to get a harness of Amazon. First one showed up with nothing but French writing on the box and was non-Bose even though it was advertised as...

Saturday in Nashville at Triple Crown of Rodding earning it's keep

It really is. I normally level all my Z71s but I'm resisting the urge for a while on this one for ride quality and mpgs lol. It'll happen eventually but it's pretty plush right now

This was Saturday...

And then promptly put it to work this weekend helping clean out my grandparents house. Needed the 4wd to get down to and back up from the shed in the backyard without tearing up the grass. Then ended up having to bring a whole truckload 1.5hrs back home Sunday to take to my local dump Monday...

Then Friday night I threw in the new lights I'd ordered. The PO had installed lights not long ago but they were the all chrome ones, no bueno on a red truck. But then I goofed and bought smoked fogs (which were MUCH darker than I thought they'd be), so I've got some clear ones coming. Did 6000K...

Took a half hour after work last Thursday to try to buff the roof and tops of the doors out. It's still gonna have to be painted at some point but I wanted to see if I could at least get the red back out of it. It actually cleaned up really well, I can definitely live with that until it gets...

Saw a 100% white cateye stepside this morning, even the OE 17s were white :sick::sick:

I forgot about that truck, that did look good. Too bad you can't get 20x10 Method Standards anymore. I was going back and forth on full colormatch or leaving the flares black. I think I'll probably go full match though, with either full painted handles or Eskys. I'll still have the black bed...

So plans for this thing are to ultimately make it a clean, nice daily like my OG crewcab was, just a red Chevy version. Fairly soon plans are: Pull side moldings and tailgate emblems off, repaint below the bodyline, whole tailgate, roof and blend into tops of doors Get a smooth upper front...

Cute little things aren't they? Lol Dropped the ass back down and bounced on the tailgate to get it to settle. 36 3/4", much better. Now we only have ~1.5" of rake. So until it gets regeared, I'm going to stick with the wheel and tire setup it has and keep it low. Not sure if I wanna...
