earliest picture i could find....stock springs, stock everything...had 31" buckshots on it i believe
(its a picture of a picture so its kinda hard to see)

here it is after putting on the crappy 4in lift and sky's hy-steer, also some 33" BFG's....it works for now but i need to get some money for all the marlin parts!!! cases are comin first...

looks good! how much did you bob the bed? it looks like a short bed now. welcome to marlin!!

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 15, 2007, 11:35:30 AM »

i took out 16 inches in the rear!!!! it is a good old truck..its been around, pretty much all my friend have owned it before me....it was stock when i got it...then i got some cheapy springs, bobbed the bed, got some steering, had the tires, just got done about a month ago rebuilding the 20r...now its time for all new suspension, tires, locker in front, some cases, and everything else

Nice rig...is it a '79 or '80??? I like the 80's because they came with 4.37 R&P gears!

TheCookieMonster · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 15, 2007, 12:27:43 PM »

ya its an '80...thats one of the reasons i wanted it so bad!!! hopefully i can just run another case and have low enough gears....well find out i guess!!!
