Right on. Thanks for the Heads up. I never knew that. Looks like 3/5 for me then

I had the 3/6 on my old 64 chevy swb when I had it.

You dont NEED spindles to put bags on thats truck. There are other ways to do it. Cupping the lower arms, Heims joints on the drag links and longer camber bolts will get you down just as low and keep your alignment, but that much more work and not a bolt in modification.

Hows things going with that GMC? Did you get springs or something sorted out for the back yet? Looks really good at that height. I love the GMC's and you dont see many in black.

So simple, so clean. I love this truck. What % tint is that? Is that made into the glass or done at a shop? Looks good. Even flow.

HI....I installed bags in the front (rides like crap) need to cup the lowers or something ...and the rear has jeep springs for now. will bag after i install front disc and figure out what else the front needs. and I scored power steering from the junk yard a few days ago.. still need to install. i did install 275/60/15 on the rear to see how they fit....they fit perfect!
HOW are manual disk brakes on these trucks?

thanks for asking

My wheels were built by Stockton Wheel in 2005. I sent them the inners out of my original equipment 16" Kelsey Hayes wheels and they placed them in 17" outer hoops.

Wow, lots of verry cool trucks guys!!

Hotrod Farm Truck; are those rear 9" wheels stock or did you have them made?

Love the look but wondering if the 9" wheel will rub on my step side?!?! or if I should just go 8". I have 10" smoothie wheels on the rear now and they stick out to far. (in my opinion) planning on a 4"x6" drop or something close, don't want to cut anything, and would still like to pull the boat once in a while.... (might have to bag the rear for that!) ramble on, ramble on!! lol

That sounds a lot cheaper than the route I was planning on going. Guess I'm going to my local home town buffet today to find some prospects.
