The front of these trucks is a pain to bag, if your body dropping it I highly suggest swaping a toyo clip under it. Need any info for parts or anything i got tons of leads.

looks pretty good man! Is it striped? Or is that just a shadow? Oh well looks cool bro!

Heres a few forums with some real good info for you:

Thanks dwight I am going to have plent of ?'s for you. I have someone willing to sell me a 88' toy frame clip is it the same as a 91?

Im not the one to ask about that. The truck im building right now is not getting body dropped, but my next one is (another 521 i have).

If your looking at toyo clips, i would be looking for pre taco, in years they make dropped spindels for, and tube arms. You may have to narrow down the toy clip also, see as these trucks are tiny. These are just some of the things i was going to worry about as i go.

Hey jason whats up. Glad your body got it home ok! It was an exciting night trying to get it on the trailer!! HAHA Did he tell you the story?

**your buddy**

Yeah I heard the brakes are bitchin. thanks bro I will return your spare at AON. Just look for the ez-up with the banner, and the group of hung over guys under it.
