tubs or dubs... i need help
well i have a 62 gmc that ive been workin on since my sophomore year in high school and i still havent been able to make a decision on which direction i want to go with it so i thought i would enlist the help of all of you guys to make a final decision...
option 1: get a drop member and a four link kit and put the rockers on the ground on a set of 20s or option 2: get a back half kit from summit and tub it and put some 21" wide hoosiers in the back with some skinny front runners and a tunnel ram with a buzzard catcher on top the truck is essentially stock with a big block in it now and i dont like the stance that it has any responses would help  heres a few pics of the truck before i primered it black

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help
I’d suggest dare to be different and pick option 2. The drop look with large wheels is very common now. Relatively few of these trucks end up with a pro-street stance, or my favorite the gasser look.
You’re already half way there with a big block and open fenderwells. Toss in a set of fenderwell headers and you’d really have something unique, and cool! |

now you really have me usin my noodle, a gasser would be bada$$, and i havent seen it in this style of truck any one got a pic of a gasser in the 60-63 area for reference  but if i did tub it, i would use whatever money i have left in my budget to build a twin turbo big block pushin around 850hp on pump gas...just sayin  and i think that you guys are right, its verry common to see these things "rollin" on 20s and puttin body on the ground... dont get me wrong i still love the look of them though

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help
If you go that way I think you’ll be the first with a 60-63. These are the closest I’ve found on Google Images:

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help
If you can stuff big enough meats out back than I say pro street it although if not than drop it as far as practical and shock the heck out of some with the BBC.

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help
I already did the Pro Street thing with my 70 Firebird. I didnt get to drive it as much as I would have liked to.
So...I think with the 62 build Im just going to do a static drop and put the 22's on it. Hot Rodz Flatz Primer and its done. Last edited by Chvyman1975; 05-30-2011 at 11:24 AM. |

Re: tubs or dubs... i need help
dropped on big wheels says cool pro street says tough depends how you want to look, cool or tough, no matter what these trucks especially fleetsides look best pro street. at least lowered with deep back wheels, just my opinion
