He stated previously that he went with the same BS as I did on my 20x10's which was 4.75".

Disclaimer
Each truck is set up differently. The 4.75" BS on a 20x10 wheel is measured on a stock '69 rearend which is the narrower version available during 67-mid-70 (will not work for '71-72, or later version).

Re: Who likes before and afters.........?
Thanks for all the kind words......

The truck is still a 5 footer. The paint is ok but has alot of flaws that can't really be seen in the pics.

The drop/rims deffinatley made a difference

Re: Who likes before and afters.........?
I'm not usually much on yellow trucks, but that looks KILLER!!




1000% improvement over the old school 80's look you were sporting in the before pics. I have the same 4.5/6 for my (soon to be rolling) chassis, and I hope it looks as good when I'm finished. Well done!

lol...yeah the old school wheels were killing me.

Funny you say that about the yellow. I basically bought the cleanest truck I could find. Color didnt matter because I knew it would get paint in the future. Now that I have had her for a while I really like the yellow with the wheels and white roof. Whats even stranger is I typically hate side molding and now with the drop it all kind of works together.

I imagine I will keep her yellow with new trim. Maybe paint under the trim white to match teh roof?

For sure the badging,antenna,stake holes are getting shaved when the time comes.
