Hey guys this is the time i get to start a thread is an 87 long bed dually with a 454 runs great it passed CA smog test with flying colors interior is decent but is gonna get all redone but the body needs some major work besides the dents and a big dent on the front passanger door what needs the most work is the bed and the bed floor, the front part of the floor bed is rusted out pretty bad so is gonna need a new bed floor or i may need to build a new floor out of sheet metal... i recently bagged it all the way around im gonna be posting pics of how i bagged it and also im gonna post all the pics as i bodydrop it here are some of how she sits right now...

cupping those lca's helped a lot since i dont have drop spindels yet and the the truck is laying frame i can actually put it on drive and let the trans xmember bolts leave two marks on the asphalt as is draging lol... however i am gonna need a set of drop spindles once i bodydrop the truck any advice on what spindles you guys been using will be greatly appreciated...
