Hey guys! I've had ownership of this truck since I was 15 my dad gave it to me on the promise that I would finish it. So here it is. This thing has some odd stuff going on so I'm not going to list everything just the major stuff, if you'd like to know more please ask!

hummm...
something looks off, the rear tires are very close to the cab. was the frame and the bed shortened?
If so, what is the advantage?
krakennuts   +1y
Yes 18" have been removed from the bed and frame, as for this having an advantage other than weight reduction and looks I don't believe it has one, I'm sure it handles a little different than others but I have no reference point to go off of.

I've got a question for you guys I'm looking to lower this thing a little more in the front and the rear I'm going to get another block for the rear. The torsion bars in the front are maxed out how do I go about lowering the truck further? Thanks in advance!

Look up on how to "respline" the torsions. And cut bump stops. otherwise you can get lowering spindles, but they are a bit pricey.
