Put on the 35 to make me feel like the truck is moving along and help motivate me to finish. And so that it can be towed to the shop. Need to order a new clutch any suggestions?

Marlins HD clutches are awesome. last a long time and really help on the trail if you dont have low gears.

You better stop spraying that stuff in there... We still gotta cut your firewall back remember....

T.Rex · « **Reply #112 on:** Aug 06, 2010, 08:07:03 PM »

well got the truck over to my work and finally put on the chevy springs need to bleed the brakes and some other things that would be easier done at the shop. got my buddy to stand next to it since hes shorter then me lol

T.Rex · « **Reply #113 on:** Aug 06, 2010, 08:10:04 PM »

and somebody said those springs wouldnt fit. just to let everyone know yes you can cut 11" off a 81 short bed and still get 63" chevy springs to fit

. hope to be driving it soon.
