Thanks guys, it is sprayed with stuff called raptor liner. Very nice stuff. I sprayed the underside of the cab and firewall with it too.

Got the wheels back from coating today, and the tires on. The rear rims are a little too wide. Gonna have to swap my rear end with a 2wd to get the back wheels on. But got a pic of the fronts on!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
Looks sooooo good!
Some questions, since I might be getting the same sizes:
Did you have spacers on the rear? Or just a 4x4 rear end?
What BS did you end up going with? If you had known they would end up too wide, would you have gone with a different BS? Or would you have gone with a 10" for the rear? Did you have the room in the rear fender to use the 11"?
I am planning on running aftermarket inner fenders- I'm wondering if I will run into issues at full drop- how close are yours to the inner fender?
I am anxious to hear how it rides on the 20s with those thin tires. Do you have concerns about bending the wheels since they are all steel?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
The rear end is a 4x4 with no spacers. Gotta swap a 2wd rear end in to make them fit. The rear rims are 20x11 with 4.5 back space. They should fit perfect with a 2wd rear. The front is 20x9 with 4.5 backspace. They fit perfect. I had to get a small tire to lay out with 20s. I have been using tires this small for a long time. Never bent a rim yet! Maybe ive been lucky.

That's cool- I may go with a slightly larger tire if I have the room since I dont want to lay on the ground- just above it(In case I blow an airline)

That looks so good with the rims.

Looks so awesome! This truck keeps getting better and better. How long did it take to get them? Thinking about pulling the trigger and doing 20x9 on all fours. Do you think the 20x9 with the 4.5 backspace will work on the rear with no tubs? I have an explorer rear end.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
Thanks guys! 20x9 with 4.5 would worl on mine with the 4x4 rear. I dont know the specs of a 8.8 rear tho. They took about 2 weeks to get after ordering. But that was raw metal wheels

Rims are awesome! Like to have that style on my build. Like a little more side wall though

I like a lot. Is that a picture of license plates or real license plates?

Layedoutsonoma91 02-08-2016 09:57 AM

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
Thanks guys, and those are all real plates.

I kinda like the fog lights.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
Never seen them mounted on the fender before..
Have always seen them mounted on the bumper valance,but I happen to LOVE the look with the fog lamps!
I have a pair myself but have went a different direction with the front bumper so I don't know if I will use them.

Mark..

I like them.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
Personally like it more without them. Thanks for the tire sizes. Going to do 20x9 square here soon.
