HE DID THE SHOCKS ON THE RED '49 MERC "MER-RODDER" WE BUILT FOR SPURLOCK AND BF-GOODRICH SEVERAL YEARS BACK. REMEMBER? THE ONE ON THE COVER OF HOT ROD AND IN ALL THE BFG ADS? ANYWAY, CHARLIE IS A HELL OF A GOOD GUY. SEE YA LARRY

i busted an oil pan on the way to minitruckin nats in pigeon forge back in 1992! those were the days! tearing your shit up on purpase is stupid (ie, trailer balls / drag blocks) but doing in on accident (ie, plain static & low as fuk) was the shit!!!!!!!

I'm going to second the coilover front and 4-link with coilovers in the rear. If setup properly that will ride better than stock and it'd still be hammered. Anyone remember that red, 88-98 fullsize chevy, short box, standard cab, with cadillac front clip? It had coilovers on it and it was bad ass. It was features a long ass time ago. I think it had colorado customs wheels on it, 18's and 20's.
Does anyone have any pics of this ???
