New Look
Spent the day "doing" my stock look steel wheels since I sold my slots to 69Rat last year. These should allow me more drop and more of a classic rod look. Still playing with hubcap selection.

Man, that thing looks terrible. You need to ship it to Iowa and let me re-do it for you. Of course it may take me 4 or 5 years to correct the flaws and get it looking right...  LockDoc

Re: New Look
Very nice. That's very similar to what mine will look like one day (hopefully). What are the specs on your drop?

Re: New Look
Thanks for the compliments guys. Drop is 2 rounds cut off the front springs...rides like a truck...HEY...it is a truck, LOL! I have 2.5" spindles and bags I am waiting to install. Rear is on bags already but waiting to install the 12" c-notch. I changed the wheels and tires to narrower units so I can get a lower profile.

Looks great. Not sure why you want to go lower, that stance is pretty much perfect.

Re: New Look
I second that, try out a set of the 67/68 caps. Maybe matte black paint em, and paint the bowtie red and the outer pinstripe of the cap?

Re: New Look
Looks good!!!!!! I like the caps you have on it, but then again I am crazy for all 67-76 chevy/GMC caps. That is why I decorate my garage with them, both 1/2 and 3/4 ton. They go all along the top all the way round. Great pics!!!!
