My name is Frank, I own a 85 Pick-up I have had this vehicle for a little over a year and haven't modified it much.......... It still has the stock 22r, In the suspension department I have a 3 inch Downey Off-Road Suspension kit in the front, And have a 1 1/2 inch lift in the rear ( the rear lift is produced by Cantilever Spring Shackles) The truck sports 6 12 inch long travel shocks(provided by downey) all the way around............ The gearing is still stock. The truck rides on 32 x 12.50 BFG AT that are mounted on 15 x 7 Rock Crawler Wheels......... Almost forgot I have a Detroit True Trac in the rear.....

Future mods include a trd limited slip in the front........... 4.88 gears..... And most important a engine swap, I will put a 4.3 litre tbi chevy v6 into the pick up with a 700 r4 backing the power... I have the engine the tranny and the wiring harness and i just need to come up with the adapters (wich will be provided by Downey Off-Road) Thanks.............
