Finally got the 20's on the GMC
Stock suspension. I may bag it later on. I kinda like the stock height for now.

Rear discs look cool thru the windows in the wheels.

Home grown. 1979 k10 front calipers and brackets(bored holes on brackets to fit rear and redrilled 4 mounting holes to fit bolt pattern on axle) , 1984 delta 88 front hoses (they are short) and late model cherokee front rotors (same bolt pattern 5x5, had to bore the center hole to 3.110 and turn 1/4" off diameter to 11.75). Also removed the factory prop valve.

Um, I love 20's and especially them on your truck, but with stock suspension like that, you could easily fit 22's on there :Evil laugh: your truck needs a bath man, come on. lol. And how long did it take you to set up that brake system man? lol, sounds like you're a junkyard king.

Thanks for the kind words. The tires are Goodyear gt2's 275/45/20. I have been accused of enjoying trips to the junk yard a little too much. LOL Actually, my brother (who died a couple months ago) showed me how to use parts books to find over the counter parts for the customizing I seem to always be doing. The paint is original and very weak. I have found that washing the truck just removes more of the paint. LOL I worked on the rear discs for about a weekend. I am a machinist by trade, so boring the holes out was a snap.

This is not meant to be derogatory, but with the stock suspension, it looks like it's standing on tip-toes.
Looks good.

I removed one coil from front springs with a chop saw. Next, I will install A body rear springs to lower the rear.

drop
Needs a 4/2.5 drop with those rubber band tires. Not proportionate. You'll agree when they photoshop it for you I think anyway, and I'm not even from Ca.

Thanks for your work. I can't tell it has been digitally altered. Do you do that for a living?

Nightmare, this is original bbc truck with coils, ordered that way for some reason. Makes for easy air bag install I've been told.
