Beautiful, and those are the tires I want to run on my truck, though I'm leaning toward blackwalls...

That said, those white walls make your truck!

Thanks for the compliment! Those are Coker Classics 15x7.00 bias ply

Haha, at the moment I'm like yourself, in Moose Jaw. The truck isn't here, however, as it's in winter storage.

Cool truck. How does it sound with those cherry bombs way out back like that?

Thanks, Purrs really nice and sounds even better when you give it some gas. PO had them under the cab and you could not hear anything, I always get comments on how good it sounds and its quiet in the cab too.

my '62 before air ride. Its tough to tell in the picture, but ride height was 2 1/2" at the rocker. It was dropped as far as it would go and channeled (body-dropped) three inches.

Front, 2" drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles. The rear is 6" drop springs. In the future I plan to drop the front another inch and the rear 2 more inches.

The hubcaps on my truck are the "Hollywood Flipper" caps. you can get 'em from Moon.

Hey badbowtie, what has been done to your truck to get so low static?

CLASICK 03-22-2009 11:46 PM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
Yeah i am also wondering what badbowtie has for a drop! What is everyone doing for a c-notch? just a custom notch?

here is my 64 stepside... i am guessing front is 2.5 spindles, and maybe 1" coils, and rear 4" coils... i am in the progress right now of cutting up some extra springs i have to get another inch or two lower in the front and gonna do 2" blocks in the rear tomorrow!

Use some Comet or Ajax and a scrub brush...the whites will brighten up.

Imperial Kustom 03-23-2009 11:40 PM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
Screw scrubbing your whitewalls!!! That's too much work! Just get some Westley's Bleche white. Spray it on, let it sit for about 30 seconds and rinse. Nothing gets whites whiter.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
They look like the Derby caps. Hey, Hard luck, what size bullet cones are those and where'd ya get 'em? I need some for the smoothies on my truck. I don't want to run the baby moon caps or the bullets. I like the exposed lug nuts so I just want a set of cones.

Yeah, that stuff works good too. I just never seem to have any. We always have house cleaning supplies though...

My 64' with 3" drop springs in the front and 2" drop spindles. In the rear 5" drop springs and 1" drop blocks. 27" tire in the front and 28 1/2" tire in the rear.

CLASICK 03-25-2009 11:54 PM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
nice stance daveodom!
Is anyone having problems with 3" drop coils for the front when running drop spindles also? Any problems of the 3" coils falling out of place when the truck is lifted up or anything?

protrash64 03-26-2009 12:48 AM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
Yeah, it happens every time....jack it up under the a-arms. Or are you catching air when youre driving to work:lol:?

CLASICK 03-26-2009 01:10 AM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
neither but i did cut some springs down and that is what happened so i was wondering if i was gonna have the same problem if i order up some 3" drop coils... my 64 c10 is pretty high compared to my other trucks... i have a 08 tacoma x-runner with a big drop and a bagged mazda pickup so just trying to think of ways to get it lower before i end up bagging the c10... but dont want to have problems with the springs falling out of place all the time...

protrash64 03-26-2009 01:52 PM

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
 
I thought it was great..you can install 3'' springs and not even tear apart the balljoints:lol:. When you start getting this low, you have to drive up on blocks and jack up under a-arms to keep the springs in place. I can also bounce my truck and the srings usually pop back into place....the price of looking cool:smoke:.
