Lowered attitude with some new wheels

[fastfrankie73]

I think I'm liking the stance...now on to the rest of the work.


They are 15x8.5 and 15x7....255/70/55 and 215/70/15
3" side axle with 2 1/2 " reversed eye front springs...not monos
The rear has homemade dropped shackles and front hangers from a K5 blazer for a little over 4" drop...easier and works far better than flipping the originals if you're not reversing the main eyes.

The Profile Looks Great To Me, Nice Work! ..............

Looks Nice! That's almost exactly what I am running (size wise) on my '64. It's the perfect stance. If you don't have a sway bar on it, I recommend installing one. There are two threads under Hints and Tricks that tell how to do such. I just installed one on mine and it is amazing the difference it makes...especially if you live where there are a lot of curvy roads.

Frank that truck looks just right with those wheels and stance.
Saw you log in on chat with us the other night but you never said
anything while there. Come on back this Sunday if you can at 8 pm
Central Time and chat it up with us. Always good to have more folks
in there. TR

I think the stance looks great.

Nice straight truck and great choice on the wheels and tires too.

I'll get some more pics up soon when I'm done fixing that "straight" body...gray primer can sure hide a lot of half assed work that's been done in the last 51 years...but then I'm hypercritical from teaching collision repair for quite a few years...but overall it really is a nice truck.
