Nice job. That's a different look with those wheels and tires.

Longhorn Man · 11-18-2008, 05:17 PM

69 was the only year for that shade... my old 69 GMC was that color originally... good looking too in my opinion.
Your rendering looks pretty sharp too though!

Nice job man!

Momboy007 · 11-19-2008, 01:08 AM

Hey Sledhead,
How did you lower the rear end? I also have a 1969GMC Big block and need to lower the rear about the same (2 to 3 inches)
Oh yea, Beautiful job on the truck, give me something to shoot for
Rick

ripdog28 · 11-19-2008, 01:52 AM

Momboy: just get some drop springs from Performance online or one of the other companies.
