Nice truck DIVE DIVE!

Here is pictures from the last month of tinkering on the project.

Your springs frown:( like mine. The picture helps.. That's what I'm trying to go for. Thank you!!!

Hey Skinny, What did you do about the sway bar when you pushed the axle ahead? I'm getting to the point of ordering springs. I just ordered the Zero drops from ORD.

If your asking me about the power with the 37's... then its fine for what I do. These day's I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I have a few more little items to fix then get the truck NYSI. The trans is not shifting very well. I hope it's a vacuum leak from sitting around.

Looks pretty good. I got my tires all on. My left front tire rubs the steering arm when I turn left. Guess i need to adjust the steering limit stoppers. It's been another year and i haven't drove the poor truck. My family is selling the farm and I am thinking of moving out of state... So...

It's my farm truck and spare when the Silverado is broken. I plan to lift it. But for now I needed a little better cruise speed for my 22 mile each way commute to work on the days my POS other truck is apart. I just don't have the money to lift it yet. I had the extra cheaper fenders to cut...

My progress attached.

That looks great!

Lucky for me this fender cutting didn't cost me anything but time. At this point I only have one front fender cut. Which was a junkyard fender so I can go back to the OEM fenders. Not gonna lie it was a lot of cutting, figuring and then cutting and rewelding. But, I'm glad you brought this...

Ok, now to figure out the speedometer. i contacted PATC. i guess i need to find out what drive gear my speedometer is. anyone been here already and or can find a link to this on SS?

For right now this is my way around spending the money on springs. I do believe the truck should get news springs. But i want to do the 4l80e swap next. That will make it drivable then i wouldn't feel bad about spending the $$$ to make it comfortable to drive.

Thanks for the info. Here is my CUCV with 37 inch tires. No lift. Trimmed fenders.

So this turned into a huge project. I chassis saved the rear frame, bottom of the texas box i had and bed lined the inside. I got one front fender cut down and installed but forgot to take a picture last night.

Working on painting the frame with Chassis Saver Currently and swapping fuel tanks.

I ended up cutting the front fenders and welding them up. The air nibbler worked very well for this. Sense then i removed the box and have started sand blasting the frame with the high pressure washer attachment of ebay. So far so good. I purchased Chassis saver paint and did a little test...

I am returning the bush wacker front fender flares. They don't cover the inner fender at all.

Thinking about the Bushwhacker fender flares. Like in the picture below. not my truck. Looking at ORD spring lift. My truck is the rusty one in the other images. Don't worry about the rust i have a whole parts truck from TEXAS.

Great Question, my CUCV is stock. I am waiting for the tires and rims to arrive currently. Painting the polished Aluminium rims with high temp black paint is my first project. Being a NY truck the old girl has some rust so i snagged a TEXAS cab and box. My box is rough. I will be taking it off...

Starting this thread because i am venturing into the tire swap game. Purchased: 4 ProComp 1069 rims 17x9 with 8x6.5 bolt pattern. Wheel centers are 130 MM 4 37x12.50R17 Mud tires 10 ply from EBAY. I plan on uploading pictures to help fellow CUCV fans. thanks, Matt
