glock35ipsc · 07-08-2009, 10:13 PM

You did good..... no, great at that price!!

What size are the front tires? I like where they sit in the wheel well opening. Actually, I like the stance all around.

SBTork · 07-08-2009, 10:26 PM

That is a rally good deal on that white truck. I like the painted grille. I usually don't but with the chrome grille inserts and bumper it fits really well.

3r!c84 · 07-08-2009, 11:55 PM

you got a reallly realy good deal i paid 4300 and it needed paint tires and it only has a 305th350 nice find

Here are some pics of my '79 I bought before July 4th. I think I want to take it all the way to the frame and go through everything instead of picking up where the PO left off.

Later,

joe231 · 07-12-2009, 11:33 AM

cool,
too bad 17 is as big as they go....

watahyahknow · 07-12-2009, 12:47 PM

i was looking for bigger ones too but hadnt found them bigger then 18 inch either
there steel wheels that are 20 inch they use them as sparetire for a pickuptruck you might be able to weld a 20 inch hoop from those wheels ontoo a centre like the one shown

the man who told me was planning on welding a truckwheelcentre in them for use on a dually pickup

**nlped** · 07-13-2009, 12:54 PM

Here is a pic of my '87 and how it sits right now. I have future plans for a 3.5/5 drop and 18" Boss 338's. I am also upgrading the front brakes to the HD brakes and putting a '96 30 spline rearend w/ an Eaton Locker and 3.42's to aid in towing the boat.

JohnC · 07-13-2009, 01:01 PM

Sweet looking truck, and welcome to the boards. Do some looking in the 73-87 area about your proposed wheels. Some guys have had problems with them fitting right.

**nlped** · 07-13-2009, 01:16 PM

On the hub in the front I presume? I have actually already encountered that, but I think I can modify and overcome

puppy · 07-13-2009, 01:33 PM

Here is my 1987 V-10.

babyJay · 07-13-2009, 02:14 PM

Puppy, that is a nice cleen V! Is that a stock fender emblem? It looks like it says "special edition"?

3r!c84 · 07-13-2009, 02:55 PM

v10????????? tell me more

babyJay · 07-13-2009, 02:59 PM

The model, not the engine! In 87 K10's became V10's, and C10's became R10's. Gm was engineering up to the 88 model year and all the changes that came with it. The last C10's and K10's produced are 86's. The same is true with the 20's (3/4 ton) and 30's (1 ton). See the last line in my siggy.

Yeah in the front. You can modify them, just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn't already know.
