Looks killer man. Makes me want to get some pics of mine w/18's&20's. What are your tire specs? I like the rear shock mounts but do they clear your bed floor? Great job!

barn9 · 04-24-2002, 08:05 PM

Man is that lookin' good!! If the rest of the truck matches that level of accomplishment, you're gonna have one sweet truck there! Great job man, you should be very proud!

SCOTI, those rear shock mounts are Early Classic mounts that I flipped and then notched for the shock rod clearance ( sorry Early Classic

. They will clear because I raised my bed floor a couple inches, which also allowed me to raise the fuel cell. Thanks for the compliments guys!

Do you like the tires? Mine are 255/45/18's & 295/40/20's & it took a while waiting for someone(Dunlop)to come out w/matching treads front & rear in my sizes but it was worth the wait to me. Again, sweet ride.

The tires and rim's look great. I really like that style of rim. That is some dedicated work you are doing. Bet you can't wait to get it on the road. About how long will it be before you are back to driving it?

It was that way when I bought it. I prefer the 67-8 chevy grill first, then the gmc's, then everything else. So I'm happy. Kind of wish I had the GMC grill to sell though!
