Thanks guys. Im hoping to go at least a 275 in the back. Plus im having some rubbing issues in the front, hopefully some trimming to the inside of the fender lip will fix that. I found these rims and tires used so I took a gamble on the backspacing and tire width.

some new pics

pardon them, they are from my cell phone :-)

ocbaud, that is eye candy! Love the color combination. I am convinced on Torq Thrust wheels now after completing my 4/6 drop. Are those 17's? Specs on the tire size and drop?

o...m...g..., that thing is SICK!!

17x8 w/ 255/50/17's all around

5/7 drop (well, only a flip kit in the rear, but it lowered it enough)

dude!!!! that looks sweet!!!
thats the same paint scheme im going with on my 86 4x4

Jons85 · 05-25-2010, 02:09 AM

Here's a few pictures of my "85" Black Betty and my "86" Big Red.

Is it just me or are our trucks getting more beautiful all the time? I just love this body style.

68longhorn · 05-25-2010, 07:34 AM

sweet truck OC, love the color, rims, stance, everything.

Jon, how much drop is on the red one and what size tires? I'd love my 86 to sit like that!

silvereagle07 · 05-25-2010, 07:44 AM

OC that truck is sweet! Jons85, man you have some nice trucks. I agree with 86swb on the body style. They just get better looking as time goes on.

JohnC · 05-25-2010, 08:47 AM

Great looking trucks guys!

Thanks silvereagle07. 68longhorn my red truck has a 4"-6" drop and 215/60/15's in front with 295/50/15's in the back. The back tires rub once in a while on the sidewall if it hits a decent bump now that it's lowered so I'm going to either roll the fender lips or cut some of the lip off. I like the look of the wide tires in back though.

Jons85 · 05-25-2010, 07:11 PM

ocbaud where did you get the clear marker lights? I can only find the clear with orange reflector from LMC but I want the all clear like you have. Your truck looks sweet with the Torq Thrust II's on it. They never go out of style!

BruthaMan · 05-25-2010, 08:03 PM

Nice trucks, Jon! Is the red '86 cnotched for the 6" drop?

yeah it is, I used a belltech flip kit and cnotched it. Nice to see another veteran on here I just got out a year ago 2001-2009 1CAV and 25ID.

If I remember correctly he purchased them, before they quit making them and went to the ones you are finding now at LMC, and ebay.

68longhorn · 05-26-2010, 11:27 AM

I'll give you $100 and a set of orange lights.

Jons85 · 05-26-2010, 12:29 PM

ocbaud I'll give you $1,000 for the clear marker lights, but you gotta throw in the Torq Thrusts too! haha I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open on ebay or maybe at a swap meet.

I'm seeing a striking family resemblance between Big Red and my baby. Always thought she may have had an older sister but never could seem to locate her until now

. Nice pair of trucks Jons85!!!
