1.5" rear spacers put the wheels flush with the body, but 1" spacers put them even with the front wheels and make them sit right inside the fender lips.

As of right now I have had it started... numerous times, but it has a bad misfire. I've been working my butt off trying to locate it. More info on it can be found here:

wow, thats alot to take in....all looks great!!

I'm not normally one for lowered trucks, but your truck is now on my favorite builds list. It all works extremely well together. Very nice. Keep it up

Thanks. I'm very anal about how a vehicle is put together, proportions, taste, etc. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I completely understand that. I wanna do mine all at once, yet I don't have the money.

Sick truck man! I have seen it around before on another forum I believe. I like the attention to detail and taking the time to do it right. I also love the wheels they are some of my favorite reminds me of my old school Crager mags I had on my t-top Cutlass back in high school. Keep up the good work I'll be watching for sure.

I bet it was on S10Forum. I see it over there all the time. Just never in detail

Yeah I recognize his sig!

Yeah I'm up to about 20,000 posts now lol

Holy crap. I was proud that I'm almost at 100.

By the way, what head unit do you have? Looks like my AVH-3200DVD. Theres about 3-4 models that are very similar in appearance
