What do I need to look like this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972 · 12-03-2004, 02:40 AM

I really like the way this truck looks and would like mine to sit the same height. I was wondering if anyone can tell from the pic about how many inches drop this truck has? And how tall the tires are (in inches)? I was planning on using bags and spindles up front and bags in the back (and c-notch). Is this enough to sit like the truck in the pic or is there more to it?

The wheels look like 100 spoke wires. I want to run wires also, but I'm not into the shaved look; I like door handles and mirrors and stuff. I may go with a metallic blue and metallic silver two tone paint job, but that's way down the road.

Do you need a truck...I have one!!!It's for sale

1972 · 12-03-2004, 03:27 AM

No, I just bought a '72 Chevy a couple of weeks ago. Do your tires ever rub anything?

Yours is for sale? What about him? "It will be his one day!!!"

green68c10 · 12-03-2004, 03:24 AM

how much

PrimeredThunder · 12-03-2004, 04:20 AM

To get that low your looking at doing bags all around, at least a 7-8" step notch in the back, and it looks like you would need front drop spindles...however a dropped crossmember would make it look better by lowering the front some more to even it out...heck just body drop it those last few inches!

Hope this helps,

Kenny

PrimeredThunder - I plan on using 4 bags and spindles, I just didn't know it would put me down that far. That's cool though because it is easy and fairly cheap. I can live with the front up just a bit higher, it isn't worth it to me to work on the crossmember to get the level look. Thanks for the information!

sounds good, glad to help

It was a mutual decision!!

Oh yeah , no my tire don't rub at all

CHEVYE · 12-03-2004, 10:59 AM

you don`t need to extensively mod the frame or any of that stuff to get that low on a 15 inch wheel 50 series tire. you might want an adjustable height of some sort (air bags) but there is no need for a step notch or crossmember alteration unless you wanted to run taller wheels.

MONEY! LOL! Just kidding.

looks like he probably has a standard bag setup in front, the rear probably has a fairly large notch to get it down like that.
