I also say keep it stock.

How did I know CPNEJR!!:)

17's and a 3/5 drop would look great.............Jerry

I lower that truck it look's great now but could look better lowered with some bligin wheel's

keep it just the way it is man that's a drop dead gorgeous ride you got there

Slam it till the rockers rub pavement :metal:

Lower it....but avoid exotic wheel designs like you see on Escalades etc.

Here's my beater.

Any way you go with your truck will be good, its sharp the way it is, TT'2 are hard to beat so is ralleys. One fine ride!!!!!!!!

Geat lookin truck Glen! I wouldn't mind a little mini tub in the back of mine. Hmmmmm...

If I were you I would slam it, but then again I like my trucks low. It would def. look awesome for sure :bowtie:

I vote to lower it and put the TT2's on. I drove a 71 SWB hugger orange Cheyenne, stock w/ralleys for 15 years and stupidly sold it. On my "new" SWB 72 I put a 4/6 ECE drop w/ 15" TT2's. If I had done it to the 71 years ago I would still have it. I kept all my old parts in case I want to put them back on, but once you do it you will never go back. Old school slots w/ a drop would look cool too.

I was thinkin about those old Kidney Bean rims, but I'm sure they are hard to come by in a 17 or 18 inch rim, and wide enough for some meat in the back.

Don't know if you are interested in something like this, but here is a nicely styled wheel kinf of like the 'kidneybean' wheel in 17's and 18's

looks like you have all sorts of ideas coming at ya now... :p

how in the world did 1low87 get an avtar already???? lol....

Looks clean . Its a truck to be proud of just the way it is.

But, if it where mine it would be lower with the same rims.

"jorgensesc" If it were me I'd would lower it but it's all on eye's of the beholder. Question is, what do you like? You would have to drive it, nobody else but you. Or is it that you are borde of the same look and want a change? In the outcome of it all you will make the rite choice and you will get the support from every one on the board and again these are only my opinion's. "so cal tz"

"Glen" Just want to say that truck of your's is sweeeeeet. Hopping to fine out what part's did you use to lower it and what size wheel /tire pkg of choice? I have 67 lwb and was looking for the rite stance and "BAM" there it is. Again love that truck of your's. Sorry guy's for the O/T. "so cal tz"

So Cal Tz,
The problem is I like both looks!! I love the stocker look, but I also like me some shiny rims. I don't want to mess with this truck too much, as I said before it's pretty stock. But at the same time I want it to stand out a little more than it does right now. I don't have the funds to start another truck (or time for that matter), or I would just leave this one alone and get creative with something else.
Thanks for all of the input folks! I will be pondering this awhile while I install my A.C.
The Compressors on, the dryer and condenser are on, now to take the original heater stufff out and put the new stuff on the firewall and under the dash. I can't wait for A.C.!!

American Racing makes a salt flat special that looks similar to a kidney bean.

So-Cal, my truck is bagged the front has spindles, home made bag mounts, 17x8 245-45-17. the rear is bagged with a huge bridge, 20x10 is the wheel and 305-50-20 is the tire. the rear suspension has the stock trailing arms but they are kicked up in the rear like the frame.

It actually sits the bumper on the ground when deflated. but i think it looks better sitting the way i showed above.

2WD drop it.... 4WD lift it

It is a very nice rig how it its, but if your asking the question, that probably means you want to lower it. It's your ride man, do what you want! If you don't lower this one, buy another and paint it the same but bag it, slam it and put on some 20's. It would be pretty cool to have two.

I like stock, and the rims. Keep us posted, maybe you can change my mind.

leave it alone, change the wheels and tires. Tell the tire guy you want to fill up the wheel wells a little more...

With the poll running 2/3's in favor of lowering, how would lowering it make it stand out? Seems to me you'd be joining the majority who lower/customize to "differentiate". :rolleyes:

Something to thing about ;)

If it were mine, I'd find a larger tire/wheel combo to fill the wheel wells and enjoy the fact that you're in the minority. :D

A subtle drop would be my second choice, something that makes people stand back and say, "There's something different about that truck, but I can't quite put my finger on it". If you do anything more than that, then it's just another lowered truck. Big deal.

Yeah, that's true...... there aren't many stock trucks running around these days. :rolleyes:

I agree, keep it stock......it's soooo much easier that way plus you won't have to use your imagination. Also by keeping it at stock height you can hang out with the 4x4 guys without feeling out of place.

:cool:
