Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the wheels!
Even though I think the grey centered version would fit that truck better.
(Time to place another order,...)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Your probably right, hard choice though. I'm suprised they bolted right up. I thought the hubs would have needed to be ground..... I would put another order in, but I'm worried that they won't get it right.....:lol:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Do they make those wheels wide enough to fill out those rear fender wells? ;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

They do offer some wide ones, but..... only offer them w/back-spacing set-up for narrowed rear ends. That's the downfall on cheaper wheels (very limited BS selection).

Those don't look too bad. The steelies look better though ;) .

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Put the steelies back on....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

love the look of the coys on there, but of course I am bias...:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I had some pretty stuff on my porch when I got home from work.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Pretty close, :).

I don't know.....:smoke:

You don't think they'd grow on you?? ;)

I knew you'd like them, :lol:.

Sweet!!!!:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the wheels but I like the steelies on that truck better and I loved the old school welds ya had on it..

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I know what you're saying. There's just to many choices! Here's a comparison of tires. Definitely a difference, but the Coys/BFGs have a 12" tread width. I thinking I'm leaning towards the grey ones instead of the polished ones....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Man, Rob,... The Coys fit good!
You must have a 71-72 rearend under it.
Now just come down another inch in the rear.
Or,... maybe just throw a bag on the rear for "cough" adjustability.
(You know,... incase you have to haul something heavy)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, I too love the Coy's - now lets see them on the Superburb, since they were just "laying around"!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Well, it looks good with the Coys but I don't think it looks right. I guess I am used to seeing the Welds or Rallies on it. I just got four 7" Rallies. I gave two to a buddy and I am going to put the other two on the front of mine. They were free to me. :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

To do fit really well. I would probably go with a 5" backspacing instead of the 5.5". Great suggestions and probably the reason I won't change, one thing keeps leading to another......:lol:.


Will this work?? :)

I know what you're saying. I keep changing my mind....:D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Yes it will! I think it looks great. Do you like it, or you still thinking Billit Specialties?

SuperBurb is SuperBad!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob for the price Coys are the BEST cheap good wheels out.....:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, the Coy's fit the S/C nicely; I like them.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

looks nice...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Yep, I subscribed. Nice work :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Small update. I picked these stainless vent shades up off the board.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Usually not a fan of those, but they work on that truck.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Just went thru your whole thread i love this truck it is bad ass. I prefer the look of the welds the best, that fat rear tire is insane looking i love it. Beautiful truck man.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! All I need now is an aluminum camper shell with green windows....:lol:.

Thanks Bennett!

I'm getting ready to do a radiator/electric fan swap. I've got the current setup (radiator/e-fan/tranny cooler) listed on the parts board if anyone is interested. There's nothing wrong with the current setup, I just want to change it to make it a little cleaner. Here's the link:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

It's funny how certain parts look "right" on certain trucks. Like my friends 49 GMC with the sun visor that sticks over the windshield. I personally HATE them on other trucks but LOVE them on 49-52's :crazy: :lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Awesome truck Rob. Subscribed.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I totally agree with you.

Thanks Tommy. Looks like you're finally getting to do some work on your "farm truck" too, :lol:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Yes Sir. It's about time I give her some much deserved attention. I'm definitely gonna put that bumper you gave me on the rear before I do a flip-kit.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Is this to hi-tech for the farm truck? :) Satin black or silver??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

i vote black

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That looks hot!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

any idea what kinda hp she has?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That truck sounds mean! Great vids!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That's kinda the way I was leaning. Although silver would add a little more color under the hood...

Thanks!

622 HP/631 TQ for right now... DJ is going to help me figure out a NOS setup...(he doesn't know this yet, ;), :lol:_
.
Thanks Newtz!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Hart Rod, what fan and shroud setup is that in post #268? Looks like it fits the Stock? radiator pretty good.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I originally bought this for the burb but I found something a little "neater", :). Here's a few links for the fan setup:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Phase 3 has begun!!! ;)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

phase 3? you move through a truck faster than anyone I know... and you have three projects at once too! :lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

what are the plans?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

phase #3, I am going to guess new wheels. I saw the wheel size tool in the first picture?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

well???
