Nice looking ride. It has an unusual color that makes it stand out.

LOHRTBT · 11-05-2005, 06:07 PM

Picked up another 73-87 from Kenduhl in Tx.

Cleaned it up a bit...did some paintin here and there. Got lots more to do

hobbz · 11-05-2005, 06:10 PM

nice

Izzy · 11-05-2005, 06:13 PM

Damn that's an ugly truck.

LOHRTBT · 11-05-2005, 06:32 PM

hahah. did you notice I already painted the whole dash gloss black and the instrument bezel and the fender wells . did the bed with undercoat spray as well. Got a battery tie down, vaccumed it out, cleaned up part of the engine bay..more to come. hehe. New tires in the rear are a must though.

Izzy · 11-05-2005, 07:29 PM

Didn't until you posted, looks good.

**N2TRUX** · 11-05-2005, 08:01 PM

Y'all may remember the truck when it looked like this....

LOHRTBT · 11-05-2005, 09:47 PM

Alright!!! give it up. What's the stance drop on the front/back? Is it bagged/static dropped? What's the tire size on the front/back. I have the same stock rims and that's the stance I want.

Does look killer with the new rims; Congrat!!!!!

C&C Chevy · 11-05-2005, 10:39 PM

Alright Dave!! Back at it! Glad to see you couldn't resist getting another square body.

What kind of side mirrors are those?

Lookin real good!

SlickSierra77 · 11-05-2005, 11:05 PM

Hey what brand/size are those rims?

265/50 15" (guessing)
with a 5/7 drop...

LOHRTBT · 11-06-2005, 02:04 AM

5/7 drop. 275/60/15's rear..not sure on the front. will check in the morning. The wheels are stock chevy truck wheels from teh OBS style trucks. The mirrors are just some cheapos that suck and will be replaced.

ITs a static drop. Gonna go get some rest...hehe. I have had a few beers tonight lol

Hoods69BadBowTie · 11-06-2005, 03:14 AM

Sweet looking truck. I like the stance and rims plus the color of the truck looks pretty good.

Thanks but I was actually talking about the brand/size of the chrome rims and tires in the second group of pictures. Guess I should be more spacific next time. Sorry

Jebb1978 · 11-06-2005, 03:39 AM

I love the color! It looks like a very clean straight find! I want that stance so bad!

79BIG10 · 11-06-2005, 03:50 AM

Glad to see you back in the trucks Dave

What rims you going with?

86swb · 11-06-2005, 08:45 AM

Nice find. Love the stance. Is that carpet on the dash?

bigblock73 · 11-06-2005, 10:25 AM

Dave, welcome back to the 73-87 world. The truck looks great, you have a good foundation to build it however you want.

I love the color as well.

Does Kenduhl still hang out here??

LOHRTBT · 11-06-2005, 10:25 AM

I dont know what second set of pics you mean?? I only see mine. For some reason not all the pics of stuff are showing up??? If its the one that Kenduhl posted on 20' I belive they are 20x8.5 TT II's with 5" BS front and 6.5" B.S. rear

Dave he's refering to the pics in my post. Not sure why you can't see them.

The wheels in the second set of pics are 20" Boyd Coddington cast Smoothies. If I recall Kenduhl was running the same tires as my 77 which is 245/45/20 up front and 295/45/20 in the rear. The tires are BFG KDW's....

84slopwaggin · 11-06-2005, 02:48 PM

So what color is the truck? It looks goldish or pewter. I plan to have mine painted similar. Truck looks awesome.

LOHRTBT · 11-06-2005, 03:38 PM

Its a goldish color from a Tahoe.

Like 2000 or 2001

and the pic that Ken posted is not how it looks now. It just has some Stockers on it now.

Need to get some 18's or 20's cheap!
