Finished her up this morning & thought I'd share a few pictures...

Beautiful, truck looks great.

69 longhorn · 01-10-2010, 04:31 PM

very nice stance

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 01-10-2010, 04:34 PM

Is that just springs?

It is springs & spindles in front & springs in the rear w/ new adjustable track bar & shock relocators.

Now, that looks like a cat about to pounce.

Is that the stock rear end? I ask because of all the talk about different widths for different years, and I want to remember what to expect for looks with a 71-72 rear end under the bed.

My truck has a 71-72 rear end. My truck is a 70 model

I wanna be careful not to jack the thread, but this is a great time to point out things I'm looking at.

Your truck has about the same height as JWall's but the wheels are not tucked in in the rear as much. Instead of the "cat ready to pounce" look, the purple truck is something more akin to a race truck--which is the look I want this time around, too.

JWall's looks like stock Rallye width, offset and backspacing, right?

Purple's looks like wider or at least more offset rears than front?

Beautiful truck!! I always wanted a '72 Cheyenne Super but I ended up with the opposite. Awesome truck nonetheless!!!

OARNGESI · 01-10-2010, 05:06 PM

Looks great

ed2552 · 01-10-2010, 05:14 PM

That is a great looking truck. I'd roll in it!!

C.W · 01-10-2010, 05:26 PM

Nice work. Sure helps give me incentive to work on mine when i see beauty like that.

nds1968 · 01-10-2010, 05:27 PM

Hey nice truck. Can you tell me what size tires you are running. They look like 8" rims. Thanks

JWall · 01-10-2010, 05:33 PM

They are 235/70/15's on 8" Ralleys.

EighthD · 01-10-2010, 05:57 PM

good looking truck

c10crazy · 01-10-2010, 06:12 PM

SWEET!, how much work was involved in installing the shock relocators???

JWall · 01-10-2010, 06:35 PM

I was told it was a shade darker than the original color. I believe the original color is the 523 blue (but could be the 510 blue)... The previous owner is doing a little more research on it for me. But i'm sure some of the guys around here could figure it out by the pics too.

big_al_71 · 01-10-2010, 08:13 PM

looks great

, make sure that you get the front end aligned. after my 4/6 drop I had to realign it....

Yeah its a little off so I am going to get ahold of a local hot rodder that owns an alignment shop.

POPO1984 · 01-10-2010, 09:06 PM

I think that is the perfect stance. You just made my mind up for me

j_cst_10 · 01-10-2010, 09:29 PM

JWall, what size tires do you have all around? They look like a good proportion and I am switching over to those style wheels in the spring.

Thanks
