Up coming project... working 'dawg

Well, here we are... This is my mazda. Got it from a guy selling on Craigslist. Truck was siittng for awhile under a tree. Bearing that holds radiator fan had froze up. Cost me $750. Not bad at all. My build is based on that I need to keep the bed intact for hauling things, hence the name working dawg. Not much has been done, just chrome mirrors, stereo, b-pillars and back wall carpet.. Plans include flip ball joints, mono leaf, and still deciding on the B2600i hood I just aquired, then repaint. I will also add pw windows and locks, tint, etc. Not much, just a clean cruiser. Wheels will either be Titan or GM chrome... which ever I find cheaper. Let me know what you think!

Clean looking truck! if you still want to use the box i can suggest that you don't convert the leaf pack to a single, instead spend the 30-50 dollars on some lowering blocks so your suspension is still just as stiff and safe!

thanks. Its a good truck... just little things still to do. My old dawg was down with mono leaf and blocks... with a load was on the stops, but didn't ride that bad...

Its been awhile, but I have some minor updates...

I have the deluxe door panels...


And have all new ball joints and front end stuff to go in. Snagged a p/s steering set up and she finally got lowered this weekend.


Eventually these wheels will be going on.
Will be rolling 205/60/16...

Also have "diamond" headlightz and those will go on once I have the chrome grille...

The back has 4" blocks. Need to notch and air shocks or helper bags before I go any lower.

If you want to carry loads, my old B22 had a great setup, de-arched the springs and added a leaf, this stiffened it up (not too much) and also made it so it would bottom out a lot less. That and bilstein shocks for a T-100 and it was one of the best static setups I have ever had.
