Re: 55-59 Chevy Trucks--SHOW ME YOUR WHEELS!
[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?

What a beautiful truck.

Can you tell me what the color red that is? How about showing us a few more pictures? Interior, engine, bed?

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.

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