Yeah my 89 had a 4" lift in the front 6" in the rear with 35s and 10 bolts both were open and I had fun with it but never did anything crazy.

Lincoln lock it keep the tires small ish it will do fine. Have a lead on a SF 14bolt 8 lug but its drying up this weekend if you want one. Have to take the whole truck he just wants the core support and front wiring harness.
How much?
The truck is free, he wants the stuff and the rest is whose ever tows it away. You have to take the stuff off too.
Plan B definitely had a bad water pump, I replaced it now I have a new leak, I caused it... the gasket moved and I didn't notice, it's all good I really wanted to flush the cooling system lol.
Other than this little bump I was able to button up a couple little things it needed for safety inspection.
I'm looking forward to hacking this thing up

I'll try to keep the Plan B build and the nightmare build on two different threads.
Those interested can find the new plan B thread here:

Nightmare update:
All my ac parts are in my garage, along with my body bushings, ez-inch, and my complete fitech kit and all parts to install it.
I'm waiting to get my truck back from the body shop, they have had it for 3 weeks now and they told me they only needed it for a couple days
he said he almost finished it today so Monday I should have it back and I can finally get my projects finished!

My '78 is running stock springs. 1" zero rate blocks on the front. 2" blocks on the rear. 3-4" lift shocks. 4" lift brake lines. 2" drop pitman arm. No front swaybar. Slightly modified front fenders, and 33's.
Hey that looks good!
I have a set of 37s I'm trying to jam under it so I'm thinking at least a 3" lift and cutting will be needed
Maybe I am wrong, but I would think that you will want to move the front axle ahead some as well. Just in case the firewall becomes the point of contact for the tires
Let me know if or when they are coming through slc. I would take the 2" springs or any 4" springs anyone has
So in keeping true with its name this truck is giving me a hard time.
I found a tailgate for it and and it painted and installed. It fits like crap, and the new hood kinda fits like crap. It has been at the body shop over a month when he quoted me 4 days.... I'm pissed.
I kept the stock tailgate and I'm going to see if ANOTHER body shop can do some rust repair, if so I'll eventually put it back on and likely do a color change on the truck. What a pain in the ass....

Frustrating as hell....
It makes it hard to make things right in a build when you constantly run into this stuff.

Got it back, looks bad, brand new starter is broken and brand new temp gauge is broken..... I'm pissed. But I don't care I have to much shit to get done before bb17, I'll deal with the little things after
