Re: Pics of Original Paint Short Beds

Does anyone have a picture of a pickup that's Cardinal Red?

I've seen pics of this truck floating around the interwebs for a while. Loving the Cragar's and skinny whites on it, such a clean Chevy! Wheels + Stance = Done! Nailed it

What size wheels and tires are you running?

Re: Pics of Original Paint Short Beds

I'm not sure, never measured it after I lowered it. It has all Bell Tech stuff. Rear flip kit and 1" shackles, drop spindles and drop springs on the front. I think I cut 3/4 of a coil on the front too. I'm running Bell Tech nitro drop 2 shocks all around. 225/70's on 15x7's and 255/70's on 15x8's on the back. It rides like a stock truck and doesn't rub, scrape, or bottom out but it's about as low as I would want to go on a daily driver work truck.

Yes, although I have not updated it in several months.

Nice that the 81 is still in the family. Looks pretty solid.

Re: Pics of Original Paint Short Beds

Thanks mudman! It has the typical rust issues for a old farm truck!
I'm getting it there though, finished up lowering it today!
