Which is why I traded my low mile 1984 Pontiac Fiero 4cly for a VERY high mike 88 B2200. In the 3 weeks I'v owned this truck I have replaced the Inner and outer ties, rotors, pads, calipers, brake hoses and due to my new rad being ordered just a bit to late, a rebuilt head. Oopps, should have checked the coolant. I lowered the rear 3 and a half with 3 inch blocks and taking out the mid leaf. I dropped the front to match by adjusting the torsion bar down just abit. ( I can't get over how easy this was) but if I go any lower, and I will, I'l re-index the bars proper. I have lots of little things I'm gonna get done. Thanks in advance for all the advice I'm gonna need and I hope that I can contribute something back.

By the way, I live in the Mid-west and work as a auto parts counterman.

Make sure you adjust the camber up front, it will be way off from the tortion bars being cranked down and you'll eat through tires every few months if you don't correct it.

Hello LLu. I am on the east side of Kansas City. There are a few guys on here from around the KC area. It is good to see you on here. Let's see some pictures of the truck.

i agree with you 100%. these lil trucks are so **** fun to play with. my 92 b2200 was my first vehicle, got when i was 15. had to fix it ever since, lol. but it keeps me outta trouble i guess. rebuilt it after three years, head gasket only a year after, **** thing got off center and burned through...and the machineist said it ok, the crack wasnt vital to the head, he was wrong....head is out now..im lookin to put a 4.3 vc in it. maybe sell the 2.2, idk....but its a project now.
