New Stance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Purs · 01-25-2005, 11:17 AM

I went to a local swap meet this weekend to sell a few things and guess what I found? a set of 2.5" front springs and 4" rear springs! What do you think? It rides suprisingly well. I'll get some better pics this afternoon.

Jimbotronics · 01-25-2005, 11:29 AM

looks great!

GreyHoundSteve · 01-25-2005, 11:31 AM

I think it looks GREAT! I think that is the perfect stance for a functional truck.

Brainchild · 01-25-2005, 12:15 PM

Looks great,that is the drop I want to do on mine,now I really wanna do it

nevada70chev · 01-25-2005, 01:53 PM

it is the stance i also have, i've hauled about 1500lbs of river rock with that stance and it was fine. hey what kind of wheels are those and size?

Purs · 01-25-2005, 02:32 PM

17x8's all the way around. 285/60's on the back and 255/60's on the front (ala Copperhead....) wheel brand is unknown, looked like the enkie symbol but I'm not sure. They are just temporary until I swap over the 5 lug disc brake setup and 5 lug posi rear end. I'll put'em up for sale here cheap after I make the swap.

Brit - you PM box is full. John

Joe67 · 01-27-2005, 12:14 PM

Nice stance. Dropping these trucks makes a huge difference

ROBBY WHITE · 01-27-2005, 12:23 PM

What Swap Meet Did You Go To I Didn't Hear About One Near Abilene. Let Me Know Next Time Thanks

JerseyGirl · 01-27-2005, 01:18 PM

Sits nice.....

Purs · 01-27-2005, 02:51 PM

it was at the dragstrip. COLD and NASTY with that North wind, but there was alot of people and stuff. I didn't get to look around much, just got lucky on the springs.

ROBBY WHITE · 01-27-2005, 03:51 PM

Always A Day Late. Never Heard Anything About It. Did They Advertise? Truck Looks Great Already Didn't Take You Long To Get It Looking That Way. What Have You Had It Now A Couple Of Months?

Purs · 01-27-2005, 07:19 PM

I just heard some friends talking about the swapmeet, so I went to their website and got the details.

I bought the truck on December the 28th, so tomorrow I will have had it month. Since then, I've put on a new dash pad, installed some autometer gauges, new front chrome bumper and tailgate (thanks Randy!), put on new wheels and tires, and installed the front and rear springs you see in the pics.

I'm picking up the '72 donor truck this weekend that has the 5 lug disc brake front end and 3.73 rear. I'll rebuild both of those and install, then shortly after that I'll drop the 496 Torque Monster in it and be done for awhile....

Hey, I just went over 1,000 posts!

muddpile · 01-27-2005, 07:38 PM

I just picked how I am going to drop my truck. Thanks Purs!

ROBBY WHITE · 01-27-2005, 07:46 PM

I think it could go down an inch. I like the level look.

ROBBY WHITE · 01-30-2005, 10:11 AM

In The Driveway It Looks Perfect But On Flat Ground Somethings Off Don''t Know If It Is Stance Or Wheels Still Looks Really Cool.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-30-2005, 12:33 PM
