1971LT1SWBPOSI373 · 09-21-2002, 11:50 PM

That's a very nice truck, keep up the good work!!!!

lukecp · 09-22-2002, 12:14 AM

Nice truck....the drop and wide wheels give it a killer stance!

Cheyenne Super · 09-22-2002, 07:13 AM

I do have a question. How far if any do the tires and wheels stick out of the fender wells?
Looks Great

meathead95 · 09-22-2002, 07:43 AM

SWEET RIDE!!!!!!!

Gene · 09-22-2002, 09:30 AM

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Cheyenne super, the tires stick out just a tad maybe about 3/4 of an inch but not enough to throw rocks or mud too bad.

special70gmc · 09-22-2002, 06:37 PM

i got a question how much did you lower it?
front and back?

Cyco Path · 09-22-2002, 06:51 PM

Looks Great!

I'm also interested in the amount of tire sticking out of the fenderwell. Maybe you could post a forward view pic.

phanatic32212 · 09-22-2002, 09:05 PM

Great looking truck!!! you give the people like me something to look forward to. Thanks.

weasel29gm · 09-22-2002, 09:41 PM

Sharp lookin' ride!!!!!!!!!!

minibike · 09-22-2002, 09:50 PM

Nice truck.

oleblue72 · 09-23-2002, 01:49 AM

Nice ride!

Gene · 09-23-2002, 02:23 AM

The drop is 3 inches front/ 4 inches back with drop blocks and longer u-bolts and short springs in front. The tires stick out a little almost an inch.

I will take some front pics tomorrow and post them

Alexis · 09-23-2002, 04:07 AM

that is a very sharp truck, some 18's or 20s would look killer on it.....

just a thought

Gene · 09-23-2002, 11:00 AM

Yeah, some 20's would look killer I think. But the divorce would be much more expensive lol!! Hell, I can't even get my old lady to let me spend 100 bucks for an a/c compressor!

Gene · 09-23-2002, 11:56 AM

here's a front view to show how much the tires stick out

Gene · 09-23-2002, 11:59 AM

and a rear view

Cyco Path · 09-23-2002, 01:24 PM

I like the front plate, Experimental. That's funny.

special70gmc · 09-23-2002, 04:54 PM

Gene · 09-23-2002, 05:08 PM
