You understood me correctly!

Nates truck has a 4.5/6 ECE drop.
20x8.5 (5.5" BS) with 255/40's
20x10 (4.75" BS) with 295/40's
Nate's truck also has a the narrow 6-lug rearend.
Plus,... Nate had Billet Specialties make their Vintec Softlip wheels with the 6-lug bolt pattern.
(he has ECE 6-lug rotors up front)

Well.......did you get it

72BlckButy · 02-18-2012, 04:01 PM

We need to know how this turns out...

shawno72 · 02-18-2012, 04:13 PM

CC69Rat · 02-18-2012, 04:27 PM

Yep, got it ! I'll post up some pictures in a little bit. Solid old truck.. It has had rockers put in it at one time but most of them have.. Cab mounts look really good, floors, corners, etc. All really good. It is a Sierra Grande with the light wood trim. 8 track player, no tilt, the AC unit in it says GM on it. Compressor on it, not sure if it works yet

forgot to check.

350, 1406 Eldebrock carb, pretty much stock other than that. Keith was correct, the SPID shows gold interior. CST pkg, power drums,.. Cool old truck.

Newtz67 · 02-18-2012, 06:16 PM

I was reading through this and getting more and more excited, and was very happy you got it! Then you said you got it for $2500 and now I don't like you anymore....

Sweet deal!

Were on approx mile 255 of the 312 mile journey home.. Driving this truck home. SC to TN, it hasn't missed a beat the whole way.. Seems to be a good old truck!

First tim on the 3ott for me, but I caught on pretty quick. Its fun to drive. I would have liked to see it when it was new.

CC69Rat · 02-19-2012, 02:02 PM

Here are a few picture if you want to check it out. We drove it home last night, no problems at all. The driver's front tire is a little out of balancebut no big deal.

It needs some work and the rain makes the paint shine a little more but .. for $2500 bucks, I'm not sure I could have done any better. At least not around here.

CC69Rat · 02-19-2012, 02:06 PM

Couple more ..

The steering wheel has some slight hairline cracks

and the inside of the bed needs a little work. It's a driver but a very cool, highly optioned one. I really like it !!

To slam .. or not to slam ... Humm

johndawelder · 02-19-2012, 02:37 PM

Nice truck man,glad you got it for $2500. That's a good deal for a truck in that shape.Hope to see you around.

Leroy-B1 · 02-19-2012, 02:59 PM

CC69Rat · 02-19-2012, 10:27 PM

Thanks for all the complements, I really appreciate it. It rained all day here in SE Tenn. So we didn't get a lot done. The plans are to just detail it and clean under the hood, the door latches need to be adjusted slightly and just overall panel alignment and make it a good driver.

I will more than likely do a 4.5 / 6" drop on it, 5 lug conversion, and 20" Coys C5. It should be pretty sick.
