Ditto, but I need 12+. Kinda sucks being salary on a construction site when it comes to the paycheck vs the hours worked. Get up at 5 every morning, home by 7, and those 2-3 hours before going to bed usually don't include the truck... just supper, wife, and this forum.

yup, i'll be there, though the 93 hasnt seen daylight yet. we'll be rocking my 94 x cab (stock on 285 Coopers, dark blue and gold factory 2 tone, with a red cowl hood, i shouldnt be hard to spot), and a white 05 SCLB 1500 on 37" Iroks

Nice project truck so far, any new progress? Couldn't find it, and maybe I missed it, but what length front springs are those? 52s? I'm slowly, slowly gathering parts for a HP44 swap and want to run the longer front springs. Also, I'm doing some work in downtown Elkhart, would you mind if I stopped by and took a peek at the SAS bracketry?

looking good man!!

Jaybird, no, i wouldnt mind at all, except i cant really sneak out to the garage this week, i've got my daughter. still be working there next week? if that works for you, come on by. i'll PM you my phone number.

the springs are standard 47-48" 4" lift springs for the front of an 88-91 Burb or Blazer.

no real progress, i got a job, and with the girlfriend and i splitting, i have our daughter for a week at a time. front suspension on the daily driver is more important. just dropped $300 on parts for that today.

thanks for the compliments guys!

Anything new with this build? I'm dying to see the finished product

[crossy's son]

I completely missed the part about you and your G/F splitting Jeremy.

How did all that settle? Any progress on the truck? (family is more important though)

i wanna see a finished product too. been sorting and organizing parts the last couple days, and knocked another big hole in the the garage wall (widened a doorway), and i have to get the motor out of the donor, and rebuild the front end of my 94 yet, plus swap the TBI motor into my 80 before winter... i've got my work cut out for me, now i just need some motivation.

I kinda know that feeling, but without the benefit of a garage.

I'm not knee deep in an SAS (or two) though. But i'm knee deep in spare parts, building what will hopefully be a fully functioning truck out of it all.

My only motivation is that it's for my brother, he kinda needs it soon LOL It's hard to even muster the will to pick up a wrench somedays. Even moreso on my own crap piling up, i haven't touched either in a few weeks.
