Pics of the NEW 72.











This is a truck I picked up in Vegas from a guy who owned it for 18 years. Going to go through MANY changes.

Wanted to say a special thanks ot ARAD68 for going to look at the truck for me before I bought it. Thanks again buddy.

The rims are 18" COYS and the tires are Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR Radials. They were the only size I could get.

As far as the rake.....airbags should take care of that.

Re: Pics of the NEW 72.

nice, my friend just got a black 95 z28 with those rims. i think you should lower the rear a little bit to reduce the rake, unless you like it, then that's cool too.

Don't know the drop as it was done by the PO.
Rims are Coys 18x8 (4.5bs) on the front with Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR Radials 26x10x18, and the rears are 18x9.5 (5.5 bs) coys with MT Sportsman SR radials 28x12x18.
Wouldn't buy the Coys again though. 3 of the screws for the centre caps were cross threaded and it took a ton of weight to balance the wheels.

Re: Pics of the NEW 72.

I was told by the PO that the "BOYDS" on the truck were made by Boyd himself back in the late 80's.................so I was going to take the tires off of them and wipe them down and put them in my rafters. Might be worth something one day????
