1978 GMC C15
350/350TH

3 inch DJM drop spindles and one coil removed
5 inch Western Chassis Flip kit and 2 inch drop shackles (no notch yet)

Did a LWB to SWB conversion. This is currently how it sits.

Looks simulare to my 2 78s nice truck interior shots?

Thanks! No interior shots but it's green just like the exterior. I plan on gutting the whole interior and doing a tan/black theme.

I saw both trucks at Heatwave, I hope to see you and ask about the blue one. What backspace and width rim do you have on the front? Does it rub any or are the fender lips cut/rolled on the inside?

Both trucks look really good!

this is my project truck im working on. 1966 chevy c10 . fleet side i call it Old Rusty. i really was thinking of changing out the rim and add 20x12 rear and 18x8 front. But its a little to much. i might just put some rally wheels and keep it a RAT ROD look.

swissking 08-14-2013 09:54 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
it currently has 20x 8 all around U2 wheels. it looks ok but would like something different. Tell me what you guys think about my trucks? I really wanted to know if i add 20x12 on the rear of my 1984 c10 or the 66 c10. Do i have to tube it out or shorten the rear axel on both?

I would like some help. :chevy: thanks
