Thank you sir, and yes you are correct. That pic was recently when motor swap was done. The truck had a higher compression 468 that I had to run good fuel in and at $7.99 a gallon it don't make daily driving reasonable! It now has a flat top 468 that runs on 93.

Re: How about some pics of lowered c10s/r10s on torq thrusts!!

I think they are 4.5" on the front and 5.5" on the rear, but I'm also running 1.25" spacers on the rear to bring them out as far as possible.

Thanks! I wonder if a 4" BS on the rear would give you the same result. That's what I'm thinking of doing for my rears. Or a 20x12 with 5.5 BS.

Re: How about some pics of lowered c10s/r10s on torq thrusts!!

Great looking wheels and a lot of really nice trucks. I too love the torq thrusts! Right up there with Cragars, Ansens, Weld Drag-stars or stock-steelies.

Personally, I am not a fan of anything over 16" but that's my preference... And I have to admit, they still look good in the larger sizes.

Are you using any spacers on front? Also where did you get 1.25 spacers for rear? I just ordered some wheels for my 1982 gmc.

Re: How about some pics of lowered c10s/r10s on torq thrusts!!

How about some of the original straight spoke(not the "D" model, which was designed for the then-new '65 'Vette with disk brakes, hence the "D" name). I have set of big and littles in 15" on my '65 Buick Riviera, might look good on my '77 Shorty.

I have not seen those original ones since the 70's. The "D"s were always preferred in my area.
in the 80's I used to collect the Torq-Thrusts. I had over 6 sets of them. I used to put them on all my rides.
