Drink2mny:Lifts for pre-72 Dodges?In`77?
Ryan68:There was a guy back then with a`70-ish IH pickup that jacked his truck up and mounted coils between the frame and leafs,worked.
Toroflow:Those Armstrongs were awesome.The best wearing bias mud tire and good in mud.They`d look just right under your GMC.I ran 3 sets on two trucks for`bout five years.To those unfamiliar,these were the jumbo version of the venerable Grand Dad of off-road tires,the Armstrong Tru-Trac.It was the first big tire at 11x15.By the third set the name was changed to Tru Grip RV.Armstrong also made the Norseman.The tire that Dick Cepek based the Fun Countrys on.Only with "A"s instead of "DC"s on the side lugs.Another early off-road tire was the Gares Commando.I think Western Auto sold a Knock-off off these,too.While on the subject,anyone remember Desert Dogs?
