very nice... how about shots of your suspension? It's easy to lift the rear....what did you do to the steering? |

Note that in that pic Ryan is obeying the "Truck" speed limit.
Maybe I should prerunner out my '74. I lowered my '76 in front, no reason I can't lift the '74 the same way. Can't hurt it- nothing left straight on it as it is. And the springs on it are already the stiffest ones Datsun ever put in a 2WD truck. |

That picture was taken last SUMMER?!?!?!? Sheech, You guys must have thick blood!!!! Give Me the good 'ol 125 degrees, fiberglass hardning, egg melting days of summer!!!!! Seriously, there is an event every 4th of July in Oatman (where the Funtana construction photos were taken) to see who can fry an egg on the sidewalk!!!! OHHHhhhh, those days are coming!!!! Lifted 620s are cool. I did My blue 1977 Kingcab up that way in 1979/80. Had a blast with it!! David Murphy has a few shots of it that way and I believe one with Me climbing a hill and the icechest "airborne" in the middle of the bed above the bedrails!!! (Yes, I hit My head on the roof with that landing!!)

Well, it was mid-June so technically not "Summer" yet.
It did rain, a little. |
