Thanks Shane! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SCOTI · 07-08-2008, 12:06 AM

Shane sent me some extra alum spacers for Coys wheels that he had made up a while back. They've been sitting on my desk waiting for the call of duty. Well..... it came this weekend. I swapped 'shoes' on the 74 & took it out for my birthday over the weekend.

Thanks again Shane. I have forwarded the good-will sent to me on to others. Maybe we'll start a trend like the movie (Pay It Forward).....

Wow... love the new shoes!

Good looking truck all the way around.

**lolife99** · 07-08-2008, 06:08 PM

Looks good!

MisterE72 · 07-08-2008, 06:41 PM

Your truck looks sweet with them Coys. What was the reason for needing backspacers? Do all Coys require them?

The 'nose' of the brake rotors hub interferes w/the center cap.

Looks great! Shane is the man

Question SCOTI, I see a little something behind the right rear tire, is that an original paint truck? Because that's in amazing shape if it is.

Yep, it's all original. The pics help it some, but it is a really nice survivor.

Hey Shane, can you hook "another" brother up?
Scoti you know everyone is going to ask, so post the specs on the tire size and wheel backspace.

Yep, that's what I refer to as a 'natural weep hole' in the metal. The front fenders & pass door has some issues as well. As Ken mentioned, the pics make it look better than reality (but it holds its own). It appears to have been repainted many, many years ago but it's difficult to tell. The patina look that's all the rage is the actual stage the color is in now but it's a survivor.

Riiing, riiing....hello Randy? Can you send me a set of.....

powell72 · 07-09-2008, 02:07 PM

That's the pefect truck in my opinion, looks good, sits good, and can get some road scars from driving without freaking you out.

*Shane* · 07-09-2008, 08:52 PM

Been out of pocket the past few days and missed this one.

Looks good Scoti! Glad I could help.

Congrats, and kudos to Shane

Would the roof have been painted white from the factory? I've never seen one like that before, just curious if it was an option or not.
