Dean23 08-05-2003 12:44 AM

wow that is slammed. What size tires and wheels u using

Glen 08-05-2003 12:47 AM

fronts are 245-45-17 and the rears are 20x10 with 305-50-20's, I wanted the pro street look twisted with a modern 20" wheel though...... throw in the old school look of an American Racing Torque Thrust II big and little combo and I think it works

Dean23 08-05-2003 12:51 AM

you have done an incredible job. I hope my 68 looks half that good when it is done. Im not bagging it yet. just doin a 3/4 drop or maybe a 4/4/

Dean23 08-05-2003 12:53 AM

do u have a straight on side view of your truck

Gee_Emm 08-05-2003 11:32 AM

Holy crap, you could drive over your own bed floor!

chevy_fatman 08-05-2003 11:36 AM

Pretty nice and low truck, that primer on it gives it that retro look,
What kind of disk brake setup are you running on the rear end?

rambler 08-05-2003 12:53 PM

well you definetly can say this one wasn't "photoshop'd"

CPNE 08-05-2003 12:57 PM

Yes, thats a ton of high-quality, well thought out work! I still want to know how you're going to slide in the 4x8 plywood sheets from Home Depot though!:lol:

GreenMystChevy 08-05-2003 01:26 PM

Slick stuff man, slick stuff.
You got that look nailed. Man would I love to see you cruising around in this area.

krue 08-05-2003 01:55 PM

U gonna tub it or use a deck lid? I don't go for the low look, but that is sharp!

Glen 08-05-2003 09:31 PM

Thanks for the kind words.

I plan to make my own wheel tubs and bridge cover i have the equipment and would love to use the truck as an example.

The disc brakes are 73-87 fronts with dropped spindles.

the disc brakes on the rear are Ford explorer, i cheated and went with a 9" axle from Currie, they are easier to narrow than a GM, the explorer uses an integrated e-brake inside the rotor hat so it looks cleaner than a regular e-brake setup.

there is not much 68 mechanical stuff left on the truck.

The master cylinder and booster are from Master power brakes. www.mpbrakes.com

This is my daily driver so its not going to get the extreme touches, I just wanted something cool, dependable, and easy to commute in Phoenix traffic.

Sorry no side view shots yet, next time it is out I will get one.
