Finally got the 20's on the GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Stock suspension. I may bag it later on. I kinda like the stock height for now.

72addict · 05-18-2003, 12:25 AM

I more

72addict · 05-18-2003, 12:26 AM

Rear discs look cool thru the windows in the wheels.

72gmcshorty · 05-18-2003, 12:29 AM

What kind of rear disk setup is that?

72addict · 05-18-2003, 12:36 AM

Home grown. 1979 k10 front calipers and brackets(bored holes on brackets to fit rear and redrilled 4 mounting holes to fit bolt pattern on axle) , 1984 delta 88 front hoses (they are short) and late model cherokee front rotors (same bolt pattern 5x5, had to bore the center hole to 3.110 and turn 1/4" off diameter to 11.75). Also removed the factory prop valve.

Do what? That looks sweet

Crank · 05-18-2003, 01:18 AM

Um, I love 20's and especially them on your truck, but with stock suspension like that, you could easily fit 22's on there :Evil laugh: your truck needs a bath man, come on. lol. And how long did it take you to set up that brake system man? lol, sounds like you're a junkyard king.

Josh292 · 05-18-2003, 01:41 AM

Sweet, what size tires are those?

72addict · 05-18-2003, 02:03 AM

Thanks for the kind words. The tires are Goodyear gt2's 275/45/20. I have been accused of enjoying trips to the junk yard a little too much. LOL Actually, my brother (who died a couple months ago) showed me how to use parts books to find over the counter parts for the customizing I seem to always be doing. The paint is original and very weak. I have found that washing the truck just removes more of the paint. LOL I worked on the rear discs for about a weekend. I am a machinist by trade, so boring the holes out was a snap.

Alexis · 05-18-2003, 02:41 AM

Lookin Good

Those wheels look great!

Blue68 · 05-18-2003, 01:11 PM

This is not meant to be derogatory, but with the stock suspension, it looks like it's standing on tip-toes.

Looks good.

72addict · 05-18-2003, 01:46 PM

tip toeing thru the mud !! Maybe I should stick to lifted 4x4's? LOL

72addict · 05-18-2003, 05:34 PM

I removed one coil from front springs with a chop saw. Next, I will install A body rear springs to lower the rear.

dons72 · 05-18-2003, 05:38 PM

Like your tires love those rear discs.Wanna do mine

72addict · 05-22-2003, 05:48 AM

Could someone slam my truck for me in photoshop?

Thanks

ZOOMY · 05-22-2003, 07:00 AM

Needs a 4/2.5 drop with those rubber band tires. Not proportionate. You'll agree when they photoshop it for you I think anyway, and I'm not even from Ca.

Zumo · 05-22-2003, 08:22 AM

Much better.

griesel72 · 05-22-2003, 08:33 AM

looking good, but it does look good slammed

JHickson6 · 05-22-2003, 10:24 AM

LOWER!!!! Needs to tuck a bit of rim, then she'd look trick as hell!

72addict · 05-22-2003, 03:55 PM

Thanks for your work. I can't tell it has been digitally altered. Do you do that for a living?

**nightmare** · 05-22-2003, 05:07 PM

i thought that all gmc's had leaf spring rear suspensions. that looks like it's got coils. did you put the body on a chevy frame?

Zumo · 05-22-2003, 05:09 PM

Yep

One more: lower with color edit.

brennecke · 05-22-2003, 06:31 PM

Minor repairs

72addict · 05-23-2003, 04:51 AM

Fresh paint. You are awsome. Maybe I should paint it for real. Thanks again ZUMO

72addict · 05-23-2003, 04:53 AM

Nightmare, this is original bbc truck with coils, ordered that way for some reason. Makes for easy air bag install I've been told.
