Sweet Truck!

GMC71K20,
Have you checked out Elias 4wd in Townsend, MA for Swampers? http://www.elias4wdcenter.com
I picked a set of TSL-SXs from him, for a better price than National Tire and Wheel.

Try Tyres International also, that's who I bought my 33" swampers and 35" hawgs from. www.tyres1.com

**jamie72** · 01-06-2005, 05:50 PM

the drive line angle on ours is not too bad and its a swb, im not a bit worried aboutit being to steep.it helps using the factory 4sp/205 or 350/205 as they are shorter than most newer setups.

Considering it...
It would be for my 72 swb fleet.
Pretty much just toying with the idea right now
but seeing yours has rekindled the idea.

GMC71k20 · 01-12-2005, 06:41 PM

jim, im in the middle of finishing the brakes completely right now, gotta get some acetylene in the tanks before i can try and bust the steering arm off, i might roll it out and take a picture tonite or on friday.

ABHaulR · 01-15-2005, 12:53 AM

i've got 8 inch springs on the front of my sub. i run 18x39.5x16.5 boggers.
your truck is looking good, hope to see it on the rims and tires soon.
Dwayne

GMC71k20 · 01-15-2005, 01:21 AM

seeing those pictures has got me pumped to get my truck on the road, thats the best lookin burb by far, what kind of steering do you have on your burb? how are the boggers on the road?

ABHaulR · 01-15-2005, 11:40 AM

the steering right now is stock config, drop pitman arm, raised steering arm, still allows to much play, just picked up a late model knuckle to allow the crossover steering to be installed. the boggers on the road are NOISY, but i love it. my tires balanced real good. i can drive up to 80 mph and not have any shaking.
