Looking for info on this truck? Thanks... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've had these pics saved to my computer for some time. I've tried searching, and haven't come up with any thing. Classic Trucks website says his name is Kevin Bapst, is he a part of this board? I want to know what size the wheels, width, backspacing, and tire sizes are. I know the wheels are Intro Twista VistaII. They look like 22's, but I'm not for sure. I would also like to know what he did to get it that low, whether he Z'd it or if he is running a dropmember.

That...is low.

I can tell you he was an award winner 2 years ago at Good Guys columbus.
I was frankly a little suprised - the "patina" on this truck is real - the bed floor was 2/3rd's rotten, the rust is 100% real, I really do not remember this as being a good technical build---FYI he is from Ohio as well

jwalk · 02-08-2010, 12:56 AM

I'm really just wanting to know the specs of the wheels and tires. Didn't know if this dude was on this website, and could talk to me. I'm looking in to buying a set of these. This will be the first big set of wheels I've bought. So never really measured for a set of wheels and tires.Would like to run 22x8.5s in the front and 22x10s in the back, and I want it to just lay frame.In these pics I think the front wheels look like 20's and 22's in the back, but not for sure.

Thanks,
Justin

jwalk · 02-08-2010, 12:59 AM

Thanks,
