Pics of Short Beds with Rallys or Coys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BH_CustomTrucks · 12-08-2009, 11:51 PM

I am debating which way to start swaying the build of my 71 short bed....

a mild drop (2/3...ish) with 15" rally's or a 3/5 drop with some Coy's C57's or C5's....

Let's see your pictures for ideas........truck is probably going to be charcoal gray with a silver top. Name: SN850165.jpg

I vote for option #1. I love this body style with a mild drop and rallys.

BH_CustomTrucks · 12-09-2009, 12:05 AM

I have rallys on my 71 cheyenne, but it runs full trim so it's very fitting. This truck is going to have the trim shaved....door handles and marker lights will still be there. I just am not sure if I decide to go with charcoal with a silver top that rallys fit the look. I worry that it would be too trendy of a paint scheme to not run some 17's or bigger........other thoughts? paint color? marina blue off a '67 chevelle maybe?

Oh, I see. You might be right then. I'm sure you've already scrolled through every page of the "lets see pics. . ." thread. Lots of nice trucks and great ideas there. I'm just not very creative, sorry.

big_al_71 · 12-09-2009, 12:26 AM

one with van rallies and one pict with coys.....4/6 ECE drop

dieselarmy13 · 12-09-2009, 12:52 AM

Here's mine. Not sure on the drop, probably about 5/7, flat black with charcoal rallies and roof. Not quite what you are talking about, but you get the idea. I tried trim rings and caps, but just wasn't my style, and didn't look right.

Bpokey · 12-09-2009, 01:24 AM

Here is a 3/5 drop with 15x8 rallys.

That's a beautiful truck you have there. These wheels were actually never available until 1973. Up until then, you just got plain 'ol steelies, which look good too, if you ask me.

POPO1984 · 12-09-2009, 02:38 AM

no pic yet but i plan on running 15x8 ralleys up front and 15x10 ralleys out back

petey-pablo · 12-09-2009, 04:27 AM

Heres my 72 next to my friends 71...Front 2.5inch Spindles with 2inch Springs Rear 4inch drop Springs.....

I think that if you go with Rallies you HAVE to run a BFG with white letting out. And thats the only time a white lettered out tire looks good in my opinion

One determining factor.... what color is the truck going to be?

Here's several of mine...

Diesel army , My truck did roll out of GM with rallies. they were available/ 1969 on . the original owner of my truck had pics of it on the lot (wheels in place) ...Pat

Sammy · 12-09-2009, 12:24 PM

The one pic is when I had only the 2" springs. This rake was too intense to even adjust the headlights to see at nite. The other two are what the 3" in the rear accomplished. I was satisfied with the results. Mild 2/3 drop with ralleys.

**bowtie72** · 12-09-2009, 12:33 PM

This is mine with ralleys. Not sure on the drop it was done when I bought it but it is leafs and C notch

98L150 · 12-09-2009, 12:54 PM

ebfabman · 12-09-2009, 04:46 PM
