4skinbricks.com..... I will try that...

It's an 86, just lower the front.... torsion bars... just takes some tools.

Silver box does it say ETC? If so then it's the auto control computer, someone must have swapped to manual... might explain why the center consul stuff is hacked too...

 

[decavo]

for what i carry on a regular basis raising the rear sounds like a better option.... but a thouhgt for the short term...

 

[corax]

how about an add-a-leaf + longer shackles? anything is better than blocks

 

[decavo]

I am dumping cash into the motor first. blocks seem the cheapest way to level

Add a leafs are CHEAP. If you were up this way, McBride's will add them for $60 total IIRC.

Not once you buy all new U-bolts and finish screwing around with the e-brake cable. The ride will be terrible too.

Spot on with the location. There will probably be a large truck in the yard to the north of the main building on jacks getting a spring fixed.

hopefully the weather will cooperate I can get the engine done in a week or so.... Level it out, fix the interior like I want it.....Park the 80 except for when I go fishing or camping or out for an expedition into the Gila. 10mpg is breaking my student bank account......
