So I'm not really new but I don't post much. Here's some info on the truck but if you want all the details check out my build thread, I'm the only one to post in it so its just pics and info.

1990 454ss


Eng/Trans is a mild 489 BBC/T-56.


Suspension is parallel 4 link in the rear (strange SA coilvoers) with chassis mounted watts linkage and added a sway bar. The front is stock with a beefed up swaybar and some poly mounts along with a coilover swap (SA QA1s).


Wheels and tires are cragar 8 hole, 17x8.5 fronts with a 275/50r17 Nitto 450s and the rear is a 17 x 11.5 with a 345/40r17 toyo proxes tq.


I'm getting this thing pretty close now and I'm not sure what the alignment specs should be or somewhere to take it in the okc area. I'd also like to get it corner balanced but again, I'm not sure where to take it. If you guys have any info on that I'd appreciate it. Other than that what do you guys think.

Truck's looking good. Looking forward to hearing how it handles with the qa1 coil overs up front.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I plan on running at a little parking lot event soon but I need to replace the upper and lower control arm bushings, and get a couple little things ready.
I have a few questions.
1) where can I get some poly control arm bushings for this thing?
2) Anyone make a drilled and slotted front rotor for this truck?
3) I need an alignment but don't know what I should tell them on the specs. Any suggestions on that?
