think a set of red striped black ovalracingrims would look good on that
http://www.brutusv8.com/gallery/1/15x105bsr.jpg
you might even be able to use the same tires

81ratrodc10 05-04-2010 08:01 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
i was looking at some rimes like that but havnt decided want to go with bigger tires for rear

watahyahknow 05-04-2010 08:35 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
a while back i had the link of someone widening those type of rims they just cut the rim edge on a lathe and weld a band in between
the wheels are steel so there pretty eazy to weld the job wasnt too expensive either compared to a rim ready build the size you want
you do need to paint them though unless you go in instead of out http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/index-1.html

look wat i just found .... http://www.earlywheel.com/rallywheels.html

81ratrodc10 05-04-2010 08:42 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
thats a cool idea cause i like the look of my rims but ther arnt to many wide ones

watahyahknow 05-04-2010 08:51 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
the second link sells them 14 inch wide and they have 16 inch rims as whell from the factory , might be sumtin to look intoo

Finally snapped some pictures of the big toy! 2010 marks it's 7th year since my dad and I finished the frame off restoration... looking pretty good still after all it's off-road adventures. (Need to get that grille back on, working on getting the A/C back together)

I just got around to snapping some shots of my daily driver...

My grandpa bought it brand new, ordered it from the family salesman at Cerritos Chevrolet! Its a '76 Fulltime 4x4, 350/350, 243k miles on the original engine and trans! The paint was redone back in the mid 80's, its all original...

Thats right, it has Pepe Le Pew on it!

No. I wish. I'd like to have a 2wd version of it and drop it. :metal:

I originally saw this thing sitting outside a bodyshop near Gainesville, TX, about 90 miles from my town. It was in process then and still had the stock black and gray 2-tone on it, but had the dually fenders on it. A few months later I saw it in its completed state sitting outside a store in Scotland, TX, about 30 miles from here. Those pics were taken in the local Sam's parking lot. I see it around town from time to time.

^^^^Holy Crap, that's sexy!

I love it. Very good choice of colors too. Well done.
Only thing I'd like more is if she was bagged/slammed. :)

Love the Blazer too.
I've always wanted to see something done with the Duely Fenders on the front too!!!!!!
That'd look SO tough!!! Imagine the pain in the butt it would be to make the extension tho... tough??? If a 4WD axle, all it would be would be extending the axles/s and steering??? I might give it a shot some day.

Right now I'm working on this though.
Gotta figure out which method I'm gonna run with for droppin the rear 2 more inches.
I don't wanna C Notch if I don't have to, so I might just get longer shackles for the rear of the spring, and notch the support for the bed. Might work. We'll see. Too much rake for my taste.

Should have the new blower in within a couple weeks.

:) I posted a Hi, New to forum 81 C10 in the general 73-87 section about it.

Not a show truck, but super clean. and a bit of snort.

Im new to this site... so figured I'd share some photos.. Here's some pics of my 84 C-10. I've been slowly restoring it, even though it hasn't needed much... had to primer the hood and top of the cab... the paint was fading fast. Thanks for letting me share with the rest of the Square-Body inthusiasts....

It has about a 2 inch drop.... it was my dad's truck.... and what he did back in the day was.. cut a coil off the front springs, and take the overloads off the rear... it slams if i put any kind of a load in the back. Plan to bag it though.....
