    body lift?

    it wasnt a random truck... a hockey puck lift is only 1 1/2" at best. the general rule is dont go over 3" for a body lift. stacking blocks is not a good idea either... either way...unless its for a good reason i never recommend a body lift. (typically c6 trucks are a linkage and not a cable...

    body lift?

    the only reason to do a body lift is tire clearance... with a body lift you end up having to mess with shifters...brake lines...e-brake cables... potential wiring issues (not always)... ive seen cabs shift due to body lifts...an not tall ones either. on one occasion i seen a chevy shift...

    89 F350 DRW with a PSD

    i think i would have took the bigger job of using the brick dash and re-working the harness... ive seen both style cabs stripped down and side by side.... thats not a fun nor easy task to swap between the two. thats why i ended up parting out my ext cab project. just too much work to use an OBS...

    6.9 IDI starting problems
