Progress on my hot rod 70 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BowTieMan · 07-13-2006, 07:46 PM

Well I hadn't gotten all the picture and posted and up date so I will now. A few weeks ago I took off the bed and added a tank from a 84 blazer. While it was off I primered the back of the cab. I also wanted to see how it would spin the tires. So we tried and it worked out well. Then I tryed again and it came out with even better results. But now I need new tires but dont want to put them on my stock rims. So I picked up some new rims and am just waiting for my back tires to be shiped. So what do you guys think?

gotta luv burnout pics wheels look sweet too

**N2TRUX** · 07-13-2006, 08:45 PM

New wheels look good...

70-Chevy · 07-13-2006, 08:51 PM

Same wheels as I am running, they look real good man!

QKENUF4U · 07-13-2006, 09:21 PM

nice wheels and i wish i could have finished the bodywork need on my cab when the bed was off but it was only off for about 10mins before the new bed went back on.
hope to have some nice burnout pics soon since my other tire will be showing up tomorrow (still need to order my rims which i will be doing tomorrow night YAAAAAA)

BowTieOgre · 07-14-2006, 12:04 AM

Smokin!! Ok you guys have to tell me what wheels those are, im picturing them on my '70 and I like!

SufferInTruth · 07-14-2006, 12:50 AM

Brad, I didn't know that you were on here man! This is Tim. I post every once in a while, but I lurk for the most part.

krue · 07-14-2006, 01:25 AM

That's just cool! Gotta love seeing a stock rim surrounded by tire smoke.

BowTieMan · 07-14-2006, 02:11 AM

Thanks guys. I can't wait for my back tires to get in so I can get them on. I figured since I was getting new tires soon have a little fun with the old ones. My buddy had the same idea with his 80 lol

Hey Tim. Ya I come on here everyday I just dont post much.

Nice burnout

What did you use to close off the back of your frame?

**raggedjim** · 07-14-2006, 11:01 AM

Bowtieogre, I have those on my blazer. Mine are Ultra's, can't remember the model ...

meathead95 · 07-14-2006, 02:53 PM

got a pic of how low the tank hangs?

BowTieMan · 07-17-2006, 02:12 AM

I havn't closed in the back of the frame yet. I am going to get the new bumper and put that on then look at something to go between it.

I dont have the bed on so I dont know how low it hangs. Hope to get that done tuesday.

speedracer · 07-17-2006, 12:14 PM

burnouts are so easy with the bed off I love it!!

BowTieMan · 07-19-2006, 04:40 PM

Up date. Got my bad back on and my tires on my rims. I got some side shots so you can see how the tanks shows. But I still need to get some lug nuts to mount them. So right now it just stayed on the jacks. I hope to get a 3-5 drop soon so those tires will fill the wheel wells better. But I am glad i got it done so I can drive it to school when it starts back up in august.

BowTieMan · 08-20-2006, 03:44 AM

Update

I got all the wheels and tires on and got the bumpers and filler and everything all hook up again. I love theses tires. Its ride so much better and handles alot more stable. Let me know what you think

SufferInTruth · 08-20-2006, 04:45 AM

Brad, killer wheel/tire combo. Any reason for the lettering to be visible as opposed to being the other way around? I see what's up dood. Looks like another hauling utility truck for your store to use!

kaycee · 08-20-2006, 11:13 AM

Looks cool
