and this is it with the new rims. BOSS 335's with 255/45R20 tire.

Next up is lowering. How low of a static drop can I go with that tire?

Beautiful truck DETROIT

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Depends on whether you thought about the offset on your wheels before you bought them. With the right offset, you could set the frame on the ground and not touch the tire.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

They tuck way inside. I'll actually need a spacer front and rear. The BOSS 335's only come in one offest.

I just saw this one at a local show this weekend.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Then, no worries.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Its a 4"/6" with BFG 265/50/15 on 8.5' old school Enkie that have been on the truck since it was basically new. Bell tech spindles on front and flipped the rear axle.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Lol I see you know already but I'll answer it anyways. It came from the factory with the 6.2 in it. Thanks for the compliments.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

You don't see to many shorty diesels. There is one here locally, but it has been rode hard! :lol:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I didnt know you could get shorty diesels from the factory, or even a half ton period.

Thanks, I kinda feel bad that I'm gonna tear it apart but then again i don't because it'll help my truck become complete again... :devil:
Those caps are the originals and I believe all 4 are there.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I want them!! Lol

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

thank you sir! its getting another 2 inches lower soon, but now the rear is out cause were putting the 456 spool with c-clip elims in it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

2 inches lower?? Lol looks like the headers will be close to the earth!! I think it will look sweet that low!!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

new project

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

from this camera angle they look really low, but i touch alot of measure ment and found out the my suspenion will bottom out, or control arms will scrape before the headers will. and besides its not gonna see that much road anyway.

and yea i anxious to see how itll look that low.
