X2 that is Sick!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

i can tell you the wheels are steel 22.5s with a 22 inch tire stretched on them.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Wrongo. It isnt mine. They are 22.5" 2 hole steelies shaved to 22" and painted black. Thats really all I know. I know the guy who did the air ride on it.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Very cool truck!! But im not liking the tub/wheel cover in the back too much but thats just me.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Steel wheels cannot be shaved down to 22" the way they do it is just stretch the 22" tire on the rim, the tires seem to hold up. I have seen quiet a few ppl running them.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Yes they can, its a lot of work, but it can be done.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

cool

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'd like to see that. I ran auto shops before becoming a machinist. So I've see a few wheels and I just don't see how they could cut that much off a wheel. The wheel it self isn't a 1/2 in think, so how do they cut a 1/4 in off and it still be structurally sound?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

They can and do, shave them down. There are many people that advertise doing it. Whether or not they start with some sort of special wheel or not I don't know, but they do it.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

They mill down the aluminum wheels because the lip is so thick, Never heard of a steel wheel being done.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Found another.

That grill would be perfect for keeping chickens out of your rad!:haha:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

its lowered on stock gmc sierra wheels from the 90's. funky :uhmk:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Ya, definitely not my style...switching to 1/2ton running gear seems pointless to me also, but I would tow with it. Some of these guys don't want the 8-lug stuff, right?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Isn't that not only illegal, but unsafe?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I havent been able to find a single person that will mill down a steel wheel! Trevor at tnwheelandtire wont even think about it and he has probably the most milling time out of anybody! He is working on getting some 22 inch steel hoops but, that will be a while! I would like to see a pic of the wheel up close. There isnt enough lip to shave on a steel wheel!!! If you take that much off, the tire will never set a bead!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I know, I don't even see how they would have gotten the tire on the wheel with out bending the wheel.:lol:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

The picture is not showing up for me, so I might be missing somethign here?
But the point is to have a short bed truck, with room behind the seats for people or things.
Personally, I didn't set out with towing in mind, just wanted more room!

PS; I know you can get the room with a Suburban and better turning radius at that, but I (and I assume most the people doing this) want a truck with a bed.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I did the running gear swap mainly for better ride Quality and beleive me its a night and day difference. Plus with half ton you have better wheel/tire options.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

:agree:

I wanted half ton stuff for weight savings also....the 3/4 and 1 ton stuff is super heavy. My truck, yes I wanted a truck also to haul the family and the dogs, is going to be my daily driver. I didn't really want a truck that was gonna beat me to death empty, and I don't plan on hauling or towing any heavy loads.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I get the tire/wheel options as well as the weight savings, but what do half ton axles have that make them ride different that 3/4 and 1 ton axles? Springs make the ride, not the axles...

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Are you familiar with un-sprung weight or unsprung mass?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Heres a new one.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Its only unsafe if you get somebody to mill them who has no idea what there doing, only seen one wheel break and it was because whoever milled it took to much off. And it broke when they were mounting the tire.

Theres a ton of lowered duallys with milled down wheels towing loaded 3 car hauler trailers to shows and do it with no problems.

As far as illegal i dont know but i dont see how since theres a few companys that do this.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Here is mine I just picked it up. plans to convert to 4x4, sas, paint, find a bed, new interior from carpet to dash. Neways it has a 350 3 speed with granny low and the best part is i picked it up for free!! Runs and drives like a dream!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Dude i saw your truck the other day! Nice ride! I was trying to get my phone out to take a pic and send to you Joe but it was too late :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

it's a little on the red side.LOL.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

It's a western chassie 6-8.5 drop. need to put an overdrive trans in it the 4.10's are killing me

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Cool man looks like a nice ride!

What about just changing the gears in it? We may have some at the shop..

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I'm very familiar with it, on a truck of this size, the only unsprung weight that really makes any effect is the wheels/tires. A Dana 60 and a Dana 44 are not that different in weight with respects to the front axle, and the Corporate 14 rear axle may be considerably heavier, but the braking characteristics are affected in the most miniscule ways because the braking systems and vehicle dynamics/characteristics are not great enough on a vehicle of this size! Heavier axles on these trucks will not increase washboarding or wheelhop! The link you provided really only applies on sports cars, in my opinion anyway!

Drooooooooolllll!
