    I need flares for my lowered truck.

    This design would widen it 3" and would bring the wheel well up enough to match the chrome trim so I would gain 2-3" in tire clearance. So a 305 or 315 would easily fit without having to go way in board with them. Then I will tub it because it needs notched more anyway and I will need to...

    I need flares for my lowered truck.

    It's not as much width that I'm looking for as its something that will make room for tires. A 2" flare would be enough but I need room for wider tires/wheels. I'm rolled as far as I could in front and rear is cut and rolled. Barely clears my current wheel and tires and I stretched my tires just...

    Screwing around with some wheels I got. They're more of an "off road" looking wheel. That should be on a lifted truck but I don't think they look too bad so they may become my race wheels

    Well the clunk it had was gone. It has the usual whine to it still. It at least doesn't sound like it's about to seize. Going to put some conditioner in it and bleed it once more and see if it will quiet down

    Lowered 82... build thread?

    Power steering has been iffy for as long as I've had the truck. It stopped leaking but has always made noise. Worse when it's cold. Shaft had play. So I rebuilt it finally in hoes of saving it before it craps out. That way I don't have to buy a garbage reman pump or spend like 300+ on a motorcraft.

    The airbox was already annoying after changing a glow plug and needing to do the oring on an injector.

    Then tonight, last night whatever you'd like to call it since it's now 3am. Put a set of kc lights behind the grill. Painted the head light trim black, polished up the lights and painted the lower metal trim piece as it didn't have very good coverage from whoever painted the truck.
