Butter....we just aren't getting anywhere are we?

*rage'nrat638* · 11-11-2003, 07:47 PM

33x18.5 x15 m.t. et streets.4.5" back set...
the smaller the axels the stronger they are

miket · 11-11-2003, 07:53 PM

Ragen,

Thanks, but I personally was looking for something from the 67-72 era....and more specifically as butter mentioned some wheel dimensions....though never disappointed to see your ride!

I guess we just have to keep trying and before long I know somebody will come though for us. The only thing I have seen is using the search function and found someone I think it was (SCOTI) said he used 15X14with 7.5bs and was running a 31x18.5 tire. It would be nice to see some pictures from some members. Thanks

This truck belongs to a board member but I think he has decided not to go the pro-street route for his truck. His board name used to be something like "prost68trk" if I remember correctly. You might do a search and see if you come up with something on him. Or better yet, here is his web site http://www.prost68trk.freeservers.com/

miket · 11-11-2003, 10:35 PM

Thanks Pont...still lookin.....anybody care to donate some cash for wheels and tires to satisfy this interest?

Thought I'ld ask......

Yep, that's Bretts truck. He changed his name to "smooth68". He sold the prostreet chassis when he decided to build something a little more practical.

I remember when....................

70c10 · 11-11-2003, 11:40 PM

Those trucks are sweet!. I wish mine was a shorty, I would go for that look for sure. Anybody have pics of longbeds in Pro street form?

butter · 11-11-2003, 11:41 PM

flyin99

Any spec's wheel size backspacing etc............

miket · 11-11-2003, 11:45 PM

70C10:

Thats why we are asking....I have longbed but don't want to go the full narrowed rear...just looking to see if anyone has run 15X12's and say 325/50's out back without a mini tub...........

flyin99 · 11-11-2003, 11:59 PM

Mine were 15x12 with 3.5 backspacing.........and 29x15 Hoosier Pro Street radials.........

*Randy70C-10* · 11-12-2003, 12:00 AM

Brad, I'm still heartbroken over you getting rid of that one.

70c10 · 11-12-2003, 12:00 AM

I don't mind tubbing it, I just don't think it would look right on a longbed. The first thing I would do is front and rear roll pans to give a shorter illusion. Mike, We gotta keep this post going until somebody has a nice longbed pic!

flyin99 · 11-12-2003, 12:05 AM

I know Randy..............I saw the guy that bought it today.............he's taking it back down and repainting the whole thing............got rid of the chrome and welded up all of the trim holes......................................all that work..............oh well.......on to bigger things

*Randy70C-10* · 11-12-2003, 12:06 AM

We have a longbed pro-street in Suffolk Va, it looks awsome! It has a big block with a tunnel ram and 2 double pumpers.

Don't remind me....Yep thats the truck, but hey I only sold the frame. Still have all the running gear and body. I may still put a little meat under the new stock frame...

When I get a GOOD one.

72MARIO · 11-12-2003, 12:29 AM

Um.. did you get one that was bent ? I hope not. That would Suck.

*Randy70C-10* · 11-12-2003, 12:31 AM

Brett- I hear ya, I was going to order my new rims today but they didn't have the backspacing that I wanted to get the wheel inside the fenders. I guess I'll have to use Summit Racing, they always seem to have everything I need.

Brad- nice truck! I really like the other one though. (k, I'm finished rubbing it in)

flyin99 · 11-12-2003, 12:41 AM

What other one? LOL.............I hear ya man..........I'm doin the V8 S-10 thing right now...........just gotta keep something in the garage ya know..............
