[QUOTE=Dan in Pasadena;6120784]waybad,
I assume yours is entirely stock, suspension wise?

Mine:
Totally stock height (obviously). 15x7 Torq Thrust wannabe's from back in the day. Cheap; but new! 235/75 tires from takeoffs of a newer F150.

Dan,
mine is all stock,,
I put a rear sway bar from s10 blazer..rides like it too

Surprising. It looks like more. Actually, much more. We're both talking about the gray '57, right?

Nice looking wheels.

These are 1996 Impala SS wheels with 255/20/17, 8.5" wheels, 11" wide tires.

They are 5 on 5, I got em for $225 with decent roller tires.

Darn, I was hoping they would show as pics.

**G&R's57GMC** · 06-29-2013, 04:49 PM

So it seems my trucks share a common wheel ... go figure.

You mean like this Chris? Try to copy just the IMG code.

Just plain 15" chrome rims, reversed on rear to clear bedsides, with baby moons.
