As in, a-arms, trans crossmember, trailing arm crossmember, tubular trailing arms, and a cool set of 20's. Billet Specialties (grey centered) Bonnevilles would be my choice.

I like both of these ideas, leave the body alone...

Another idea is to use your new tubular arms front and rear with your and swap the 8" ralys in front for some 7's or 6.5" (from a van) with a better tire combination, use Accu Air's ride height system.

Then, DRIVE IT!!

The body, as far as Paint and trim, will be left alone.

The drop will be Extreme.

Tire and wheel setup will be a 20 front 22 rear with grey centers

Leaning toward

Wheel Vintiques series 90 billet rally

Billet Specialties Bonneville-G

Opinions Please............................

Oh, and of course It will be a driver.

No billet ralleys. I love ralleys (even the measely 15" steel variety). But I do not like the large diameter car ralley on a truck. Will it be a PB 4-link DM out back or ??

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

i would also get rid of the bobo stock mirrors and consider doing a 67/68 front end swap instead of pancaking the hood the front end on the 67/68 trucks is soooo much hotter

Re: What would you do to this truck?

This wheel is available in a 26" ... maybe just coat the circumference in some black Dip-n-Grip instead of mounting tires
