    I guess I should've been more clear. What specs are you going for and how are you going to get there? Coils/spindles up front and leafs, flip or linked out back? How low?
    You could probably find a 350 for short money.
    Why side skirts?
    if you are looking to get low cheap axle flip would be the way to go. dont get a 305, they are better as boat anchors when you can get a 350 for about the same price. im lowered 4.5/5.5 (roughly) in my s10. cut coils, spindles, tall balljoints in the front and blocks, pulled leaf, and set back/ angle plates in the rear. im in about $350 but my way of lowering it is the cheap and honestly shitty way. axle frame bangs and wraps like a bitch causing wheel hop, while the front bottoms out constantly because there is no progressive spring rate. save yourself the irritation later and get springs, and spindles for the front (tall balljoints if those are also associated with c/k trucks) and actually get leafs for the rear after flipping your axle. use blocks as a means of dialing in rather than a first resort for getting low.

    I don't have one at the moment. But will be doing a photo shoot with the truck soon.

    That looks like a seal quad beam 88/89 front end. Nice GMT400, I've got a 1998 Tahoe.

    excited to see more. believe you meant 96 front end, 86 would be square body. nothing wrong with junkyard parts either!

    LoweredSilverado

    Little introduction about me Im TJ. I got a 92 Silverado with a 86 front clip(because previous owner believed in junkyard parts). Its got a 305 small block(With minor throttle body problems). Soon to be lowered and side skirts/wheel arch extensions added.
