That is true but I will make an excepsion in this case. With them wheels I will have to admit would look better just a little lower. Notice I said "just a little".
When I was drag racing down main street (now I know better) when I was much younger, the '55-'57 Chevys were raised a little. Now everthing is to be lowered. Fads. We always took out the auto and put in a muncie four speed. They were easy to change over. I got to where I could just about do it blind folded. I am still talking '55-'57 two door Chevys. (cars)

I guess I should explain that comment. I really like the way it looks with a staggered wheel combo (18/20 or 20/22) when the truck is laid out. I just don't like they way it looks when you air up to ride height. On some cars/trucks it's not as visually incorrrect as it apperas to me on the 73-87 trucks. Just my personal opinion, and we all know about opinions....

bagged74,

Where the heck is Pocola? I'm in Newcastle; suburb of OKC basically. I travel around a lot and haven't stumbled across your neck of the woods. Nice pics of the trucks. Did you build them or are they random pics?

Yeah, that staggered stance looks really good.

Yeah, if one could maintain somewhat of the 'tucked' staggered look at ride height that would look cool.

Pocola is jsut outside of FT. Smith, AR on the oklahoma side near Poteau.
If you are ever down this way give me a shout and Ill show ya around.

The first blazer was mine I was building it a couple of years ago, but never finished it and ended up selling it.

The purple/silver truck is mine, but i didn't build it.

The black blazer belongs to N2Trux, but I think it looks a little different now.

bagged74,

I know exactly where you are. I travel through Ft. Smith about once a year to go to our lake place. The lake is lake Ouchita around Hot Springs. I'll let you know the next time I'm out that way.

I like the 18/20 look a lot. I didnt realize until now that it looks REALLY good on the blazers. I can see Ken's point about when they are aired up but you have to admit they all look better aired out no matter what wheels you have...
