I'll post the mods up in this build thread, as well as future modifications I have in mind. My dad originally bought it and we built it up to fulfill his dream of a 4wd el camino. I officially purchased it from him about 10 years ago after my little sister totaled my parent's only car under warranty. They're getting old and like to have one car under warranty for road trips and such. They were going through some financial troubles and were going to need to sell the truck to justify undoing my sister's fine work. I emptied my checking account and sold my daily at the time, walked up to them and handed them literally everything I had. I think I said, "I know it's not what it's worth, and I'll get you more when I can, BUT DONT SELL THE TRUCK!" Best decision I've ever made.Some details on the truck: RCSB 4x4 WT (crank windows, rubber floors). 4.8/4l60/8.6 (3.73 gears). Floor shift NP261. I think the official numbers on the drop are 2" front and 3-4" rear. It is (or was) perfectly level when we first lowered it. The springs have since sagged A LOT. Kooks LT headers and high flow catted y-pipe, with a Pypes Vilolator cat-back system. That's pretty much how it stayed when the old man owned it.Here are some pictures of the original build on the truck. I think these pictures are from the first day I owned it. (Notice the different tires. First thing I did was replace the Nitto H/Ts with some Cooper A/T3s).[ATTACH=full]1988[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1989[/ATTACH]Oh, and some carnage from the malibu![ATTACH=full]1990[/ATTACH]She swerved to miss a deer and contacted a steel I-beam mounted mailbox with the R-front corner. You can see the 04 was present as the flat bed yarded the malibu up off the street[ATTACH=full]1991[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
