The wheels are "Budnick Grid 6" with 255-45-18's on the front and 295-40-18's out back.

Flat 67 another firewall pic

Krue & Dean you like the tie straps holding it on

Thanks for all the compliments. This has been an on going project for the last 4 years and it is finally coming together. I just wish there were more hours in a day and I had deeper pockets than I do

[QUOTE=yank]Krue & Dean you like the tie straps holding it on

We're gonna make a southerner out of ya yet!

Oh, How do you like the 18s? I was pleased with mine. Did not know what to expect going from the 15s to the new 18s.

Looks awesome, Mike!

Dean

sixty8c10 · 12-18-2005, 08:40 PM

Sweet72 · 12-18-2005, 09:13 PM

Man that looks great! Your engine bay looks real nice.

Flat 67 · 12-18-2005, 09:32 PM

Like the minus heater look. Do you have a better pic showing that smooth firewall? Looking good..........Flat 67

subtle71 · 12-18-2005, 10:11 PM

Yank, Stop it! You are going to make us jealous! I am regreting selling my 69 (which Bill now owns). Trust me, I know how happy you are to be seeing your efforts come together.

I keep thinking that your radiator fan shroud looks familiar for some reason! Seems like I have seen that one somewhere before! lol

Enjoy it!
Dean

krue · 12-18-2005, 10:36 PM

Looks good yank. That shroud looks a heck of a lot better there than it did in the truck he took it out of.

GMan69 · 12-18-2005, 11:15 PM

Lookin' GOOD, Mike!!!

yank · 12-18-2005, 11:30 PM

George when you going to make a trip over this way? I have a christmas present for you

krue · 12-18-2005, 11:36 PM

I noticed that. I need to come see it my next week off (2nd week of Jan). I'll holler at you.

yank · 12-18-2005, 11:42 PM

Just give me a holler. Bill stopped by yesterday on his way to columbus to get his daughter. I made deep southerner stand out in the cold and listen to me brag about all I had done to the truck lately

Flat 67 · 12-18-2005, 11:55 PM

Thanks for the smooth firewall pic. That is exactly what I want to do to mine. Gonna save the picture for further/future inspiration. Thanks again.....Flat 67

davidh · 12-18-2005, 11:55 PM

I guess in MS you don't ever have to use a heater. It was cold here today in OK. Nice clean look

yank · 12-18-2005, 11:59 PM

Davidh, I will eventually be putting a vintage air unit in it at some point.

**Palf70Step** · 12-19-2005, 12:06 AM

The truck looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better in person. Lot's of great work. Enjoyed the heck out of talking truck with you Mike. I got to admit, though it was getting cold there after 2 hours in it. I guess I'm getting old or after 20 years here losing my Yankee status.

Can't wait till my next trip that way.

davidh · 12-19-2005, 12:33 AM

What's the wheel tire size combo anyway? How much lowering?

yank · 12-19-2005, 08:47 AM

Dean I like the looks of the of the 18's. They work for me, I'm not a big fan of BLING,BLING. As for the handling, it made a trip to to the end of the driveway and it handled like F1 racecar

Davidh I've got "Budnick Grid 6 rims" with 255-45-18's on the front and 295-40-18's out back with a 4/6" drop from ECE.
