ATPs 68 Shop Truck/Rat Rod - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I had this Truck up for sale, but have decided to keep it and play a little. I picked up a Red interior kit today from a local guy who was cleaning out his shop. The kit was such a good deal I could not pass it up and it has motivated me to keep the truck and sale the Burb! What do you think!

Irishpilot · 05-09-2009, 07:05 PM

That is a really nice interior set you got there!

ratrod67 · 05-09-2009, 07:22 PM

Score on the interior!! Truck looks good too.

Nice truck. What were you asking for it?

So does the mean you'll keep the Blazer to ride the family around in?

CheyenneShop · 05-09-2009, 08:03 PM

ATP - I really like your truck, congrats on the interior. Can't wait to see your progress.

I have a 68 that I am getting ready to drop and wheel/tire combo, I planned on going with the same wheels - Coys. What is your drop? What is your back spacing and tire sizes?

I was planning on ECE 4/6, convert to 5 lug. 20x8.5 front & 20x10 in the rear.

Anyway, I really like the way it sits. Thanks for your time. Congrats again.

You nailed the "look" with that one bro! I don't think I'd call it a rat but it's definitly cool. Hard to believe that you couldn't find a buyer unless it's got rust issues that I'm not seeing in the pics.

I'm diggin it!

The truck was dropped when I got it, but it;'s close to a 4/6. I believe it was dropped with springs. I plan to add drop spindles and spring to stay at current stance but gain ride. The back needs shock relocators and notches to stay this low.

Wheels are 20/8s and 20/10s - Tires are 245/40/20's.

Thanks
