Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop
Now, that looks like a cat about to pounce.
Is that the stock rear end? I ask because of all the talk about different widths for different years, and I want to remember what to expect for looks with a 71-72 rear end under the bed.

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop
Hey nice truck. Can you tell me what size tires you are running. They look like 8" rims. Thanks

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop
I was told it was a shade darker than the original color. I believe the original color is the 523 blue (but could be the 510 blue)... The previous owner is doing a little more research on it for me. But i'm sure some of the guys around here could figure it out by the pics too.

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop
JWall, what size tires do you have all around? They look like a good proportion and I am switching over to those style wheels in the spring.
Thanks -Jeff |
