new guy with 1986 elky

[swaybar]

Hello all. Wanted to through out an introduction and a couple pics of the '86 I've owned going on 10 years.
Getting ready to swap out the old air shocks with something, well..better. Any suggestions?
One pic with the rally's, other w/ the torque thrsts (my other toy is also a chevy, so I can swap around rims when I'm board).
thanks-

Nice El Camino. I really like the look of yours.
I have had mine for a long time also ,never found anything else I wanted.

thanks for the kind words guys. It's a real compliment coming from a forum full of such nice rides.

tc1959- I dig the red. Is the front bumper off something else? Looks good. I've been wanting to ditch my version with the rubber trim for an all chrome one for a couple of years..

84elko- Very nice ride, man. I'm envious of your setup, Hotchkis is top-shelf stuff. I wish I could pull the trigger on the TVS, but just currently not in the cards.

To keep the budget down, I Ordered Edelbrock IAS shocks and MOOG springs for front and rear. Spoke to my 'suspension guy' today, and will drop off the elky in a couple weeks for the springs/shocks and have the frontend inspected / freshened up as needed. (Steering / handling has gotten very sloppy as-of-late, so expect there to be some issues). If that bill isn't bad, I'll order up the hotchkis airbag kit right away. Or I may have to wait. I rarely use it as a truck, so I'm sure I'll be fine without them for awhile.

Thanks again!
