Howdy! Welcome to the site. Nice rigs ya got there... I can see that you also had to replace the driver's side front fender after the accident. Nice look to the 2000 Sierra! Ever thought of taking the amber inserts out of the front lights?
What all is done to the '86? Is it a 1/2 ton? Heavy Half? New axles? I see that you have had to trim the fender wells to get maximum axle articulation...nice truck!

thanks, yea it got the fender but not the hood. I was kinda hoping that it had got the hood so I could so could have a better one put on if ya know what I mean . Ive been thinking about taking the amber inserts out of the headlights but haven't got around to it.

Well the 86 is a 1/2 ton with 3/4ton axles and it has a 88-91 blazer grill installed.
The front suspension is BDS 6in springs with longer shackles and the rear has a shackle flip which gives it 4in's, stock springs out of a 74 c10 which are 56in long(stock are 52in's, better flex with 56's) and the 56's have 2 leafs removed and the overload turned over, longer shackles, and a zero rate. With the rear springs set up that way the 38's will rub the inside of the fenderwell when flexed. The front axle is a 8lug 10bolt and has crossover steering and 4.10 gears, the rear axle is a full float dana60 out 69 chevy c20 and it has a factory powerloc for a traction ad, disc brakes, and 4.10 gears. The motor, trans, and t-case are all bone stock for now

Its a super easy mod. You know how to do it?

Wow man...well done! Yeah, noticed the K5 grille. Is the driveline a 350/NP205/700R4 combo?

305/700r4/208 but hoping to put a 5.3 or 6.0 between the fenders
