Who likes before and afters.........?







4.5/6 ECE drop
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear

This was a decent amount of work for your at home no lift shade tree mechanic. The parts from ECE were top notch but every single stock 40 y/o part fought me from the word go...lol

I couldn't be happier with the stance....

Thanks to 72 blackbeautys advice. I pretty much mirrored his off set and tire choice.

yes sir....

Seem there not super easy to find at least in CA. I called my guy and he said the warehouse was real low. I was still a tad torn but pulled the trigger based on your reccomendation.

They look perfect and the tread pattern is cool

I got all 4 mount/balance for $730 otd. Seemed like a decent deal

The stance and wheels changed your truck completely.

Re: Who likes before and afters.........?

I'm not usually much on yellow trucks, but that looks KILLER!!




1000% improvement over the old school 80's look you were sporting in the before pics. I have the same 4.5/6 for my (soon to be rolling) chassis, and I hope it looks as good when I'm finished. Well done!

lol...yeah the old school wheels were killing me.

Funny you say that about the yellow. I basically bought the cleanest truck I could find. Color didnt matter because I knew it would get paint in the future. Now that I have had her for a while I really like the yellow with the wheels and white roof. Whats even stranger is I typically hate side molding and now with the drop it all kind of works together.

I imagine I will keep her yellow with new trim. Maybe paint under the trim white to match teh roof?

For sure the badging,antenna,stake holes are getting shaved when the time comes.
