Thanks Hevy and 74 stepside. Front 235/60/17 back 275/65/17. My brother-in-law Ryan Reed www.reedsridedesigns.com helped me with the wheel and tire fitment and stance. I dropped it with 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2" drop coils that were cut to get the stance lower. The rear is a flip kit with c-notch and 2 inch blocks.

Is that a new champagne color? Any specs or links on it. I have often wondered about that color on these trucks. Looks pretty good but I think the brown helps pull it off. Good lookin truck all around.

Here's a picture of my short bed. 83 C10 with 53k original miles, Mcgaughy 4.5/7 kit. 15X8 Rallys, and 275/60/15's. I'm going to put a picture of my super sweet 1 ton regular cab in the long bed section.

Here is a most recent picture of my 87 SWB. Was taken at the local car show in the fall. Since October it's just collecting dust in my garage safe from the North East winters :)
Enjoy!!!
