Re: Project “Blue Bomb” (rebirth of a 1970 c30)

Why did you go for the larger diameter tire vs something like 16's?

- For looks...

Wouldn't it be easier to use if the deck was a bit lower?

- I put the deck as low as possible. Crossmembers are flush on the rear of the frame rails (high section).

I'm bad at wheel base identification, is this the 157 inch wheelbase version?

- Yes 157"

Lastly are stake pockets in the future, or do you not ever foresee a need for something like that?

- Not for me. I prefer a minimalist look, and figure most things can be hauled using the D-rings. The one thing I should have done is add a headache rack of some kind.

I really think you did a great job on this truck. You really have good project vision!

- Thank you!! I really enjoy bringing tired old trucks back to life.
