Budget Build - Daily Driver 87 B2000 Done Gone Sold

lookin good man

I managed to get a little more done with the tweed today... The panel behind the seats looks much better!





Here's a question for anyone reading - there's supposed to be a plastic panel running down the B pillar, right? Pretty much from the headliner down to the carpet, behind the seat belt and whatnot... I think I'm missing that panel. PM me if you have an extra pair!!!!

Brackets arrived on Friday... Ordered bags today. I went with Airlift 2B-6 Gen II street series for the front, and 2B-7s for the rear. Ordered from - cheapest I could find anywhere! $50 ea, plus 5% off with discount code FRMEMBER...

Working on door panels tonight!!

i think only the lx models had those panels...my truck doesnt have either

I'll just make some filler panels and tweed 'em out... MUST STAY ON BUDGET!!

Update on the rear bags... I knocked this out pretty quickly. I was forced to weld the top brackets upside down, due to the size of the notch on my truck.

Rust on the welds... damn if it didn't start raining as soon as I got done welding. Didn't have enough time to get the truck back in the garage.

Schraeder valves on the bags for testing... Driveway tilts to the left, so the truck is not level in the photos.

Any feedback is appreciated... And yes, I will be putting a bridge bar (or two) back in.

get a layed out shot...looks good

Scroll up... Looks the same as it did with the hydraulics installed. Still frame-on-ground layed out.

gotchya

I started tearing the front end apart after work tonight... Damn if it isn't a BITCH to get all the crap ground down smooth on the frame. And to make it worse, my truck has the cups from the hydraulics welded in right there too! I ran out of grinding and cutting discs right when the bad weather rolled in... But I'll be back on it tomorrow with pictures.

Hoping to have the front end done in 2-3 days... Unfortunately, I only get 2-3 hours a night to work on it! And its all gotta be done in the driveway.
