Thread: 2000 chevy single cab

jonmanalso runs his truck harder than any silverado on here other than one being raced. Huge difference. If this guy runs his truck half as hard as jonman he would be dumb to do so without a full cage and everything else. Also, have you looked at the amount of tubing there is on the front of his truck and with the lights, and everything else. Adds up a lot of weight of this guys front end.

Haha how did my old truck get in Arizona nice to see it is still around..

well this helps alot idk what that guy from f-o-a was telling me from what you guys are saying but ill probably just run a 750 cause i wont be beating on it to hard since i have to be driving it to work everyday

750 with some pretty light valving.

alright and then what about the rebound light as well?

I'm not too sure on the rebound side of things. You cant expect it to be perfect off the shelf.

alright well thanks for the help

alright dude.... well all im saying is that i had 700's and they were too light.

well its been a while but since then i bought some 2.5 10inch foa coil overs and 2.5 16inch fox tripple bypasses and i built a new front bumper but pics should start to be flowing pretty good soon cause im starting the front end this weekend

started building my bed cage today should have some pics up this week...i notice that the crossbar beneath my drive shaft theres only like a 3 inch gap if that jusy wondering if that efected anybodys travel or the drive shaft hit that when drooped out?

picking up some deaver f87s tomorrow soon my truck will be going together pretty fast...kinda hard when i have one day off a week but oh well ill get it done

you have a one piece driveshaft right? im pretty sure most guys have to shorten theres some. as far as hitting the cross bar, im not sure. ext cab silvys have a 2 piece driveshaft so we dont have that problem lol. hope to see pics of the progress!

yea its a one piece but idk if it will be a problem or not i was just seeing if anybody has, ill try to take some pics of it , bed cage should be done this weekend so more updates should be flowing along pretty good front end should be done the following weekend or so have everything needed just some plate for the lowers is all thats left to buy getting paid every wensday is nice

so i wasnt working for a while so progress shut down now decided to not have a bed and got just bed side...im about to buy some a arms for my chevy off a buddy there customs build he says they were pulling 19 but we will see im having to build a spindle for it so ill cycle it while im doing that i know i hate seeing builds not finished but money and time is always a big issue

sorry for the bad quality pics i used my phone....but anyways i picked up those a arms with all the hiems and uni balls for 500 though it was a good deal the lowers are pretty huge ill try to get some close up pics with a real camera soon
