Sorry man, theres just not that many people with short steps. The pics will come as people see your post. Will just take more time than if you asked for short fleets or crew cab pics. Good luck with your build too.

^ Their was a thread on short steps awhile back, just search for it.

Just got the wheels on. 255/60/17 Billet Specialties GTX40.

remist17 · 05-25-2010, 01:04 PM

Thanks all. Trying to get ideas for tire/wheel combos. I want to sit the tires out. Not sure how to explain it but the older trucks the wheels sit so far in. Im trying to "fill" the fenders.... I hope I make sense.

Sorry if this is a repost I tried looking and I guess cant figure out how to use search funciton.

is that an old cz dirtbike?

jdmaffeo · 08-13-2010, 05:16 AM

It's an old Hodaka...just restored most of it...

remist17 · 05-26-2010, 08:15 AM

Thanks for all the photos. Really nice trucks....

Any suggestions on what tire combos I should run with stock height or maybe a small rear drop? I cant afford a total drop kit right now.....

Can any one tell me were some of the rear bumpers came from? I have the terrible bumper that fits fleetsides.... I would like to put a smaller one on(shorter)
