Projekt Fingerlickin 89 Cab Plus Sittin Static.

Okay after drooling over jrock4224's Mazda I had to get my own. At first I bought a tan 87 standard cab it was a good truck but what I really wanted was an xtra cab. A friend of mine had an 89 Cab Plus and I could not resist, power steering, working cruise control, and it had already been lowered cranked torsions in front and 3in blocks in the rear. The first thing I did was change the wheels, re index the torsions bars and took out the large rear leaf spring. I wanted to keep the graphics but after I washed it the pressure washer started to peel them off. Next was the important interior stuff, swap out gauge cluster for one with a tach, stereo, new steering wheel actually old wheel from my Passat that had in the garage for about seven years waiting for new home.

Next step was to lower it more. I got some 18 Nissan titan wheels from a friend to replace the 14in white spoke wheels it originally had and some used tires. Only problem is they are 225/45/18's I want a 225/235 35/18 but I am broke so I'll roll them for now until I can get some more loot. I also removed the graphics, i would have like to of kept them but I may have some new ones made up like my 87 had.

What the fudge u still all liqoured up form our sunday morning work party....truck looks dope but I was partial to my 15's....fun stopping by the shop last night hopefully my guy will have my rear end as my crate motor is sitting wating for me to put in....try photobucket ...its ad city but works the best when forum posting...or like baha said bscene has hosting of photos somewhere

Working now man looks good

What your not gonna share all the hard work we put into this and various wheel combos? come on e open up that heart of yours

So Slapnuts aka Jrock hooked me up with a set of DJM Lower control arms and re powder coated them, 1HotDawg sold me a pair of toxic shocks. Now the front end of the Mazda doesn't make me cringe when I see a bump in the road. Before the Mazda I drove an Astro Van all the time potholes, speed bumps, pulling in and out of driveways no problem. Now that I am living the Lowlife I have to change my driving style. The drop on the LCA's plus having the torsions indexed means I have to run a lower pro tire only problem is that's not in the budget right now. First choice was some chrome Mazda 15's Junior had but after running 18's for a while I missed the big rim look. A good friend who works in parts helped me out with some 17in Nissan Titan wheels.

what wheels are in the last pic?

Too bad the police impounded that astro van.... Slap nuts huh? Next Time i will forklift your truck onto some shelving. I only risked our lives for a hour or two. I vote chromies but I am old school.... Lower and no fender risk.... Ps thanks for the motivation I hit up kfc for u.
