here's my 71 fleetside with Porterbuilt DM and raceline 22s and 24s. It's off to my fabricator to do up the back.

I am actually looking at raceline wheels! What are the specs on the front wheels? And is the trackwith narrowed? Mines just a stock crossmemeber z'd with thorbeck arms and im trying to figure out what offset and backspacing to get.

VA72C10 · 03-08-2010, 06:10 PM

Looks like a sweet project. Any more pictures?

X2! Details on the specs of those fronts (width, bs, tire size), please. Looks great!

texastrendz · 03-08-2010, 09:50 PM

that is one classy looking wheel, not the typical ghetto style. seems like a good fit for the body style truck

72BlckButy · 03-08-2010, 11:29 PM

Wow... lookin' good!

gixxerpymp · 03-09-2010, 12:22 AM

The wheels are 22x8.5 with 5.25 bs. I'm not sure how much the DM narrows the track. Maybe someone will answer that for us.

I'm with you on that. I could only find a few wheels that I liked that were plain enough. The other reason I got these was the price was much better that the others...and they do 24s.

What's the tire size on those, and are you running a 3" drop spindle?

255-30-22 front, 275-30-24 rear and 2.5 drop spindle. in the pic the tire will go up another 1.25" before it hits the drip rail on the fender. The tires are pretty much 28" and 30" tall.

bruce bruce · 03-09-2010, 04:50 PM

I posted all the front end parts that came off of the truck in the classified section...here's the link.

Some progress. It's at the fabricators shop for a back half.

she's a little high in the back

72BlckButy · 03-29-2010, 10:01 PM

Wow.... now that's shows the difference a DM makes.

VA72C10 · 03-29-2010, 10:08 PM

it's a new look.....

actually I have seen some trucks parked at shows with similar stances. Can't wait to see it laid out!

Rochlow · 03-29-2010, 10:41 PM

Damn, those wheels and tires are sexy!!!

gixxerpymp · 03-29-2010, 10:44 PM

Damn.... Sickning.

noonzor · 03-29-2010, 11:42 PM

very nice project, very nice!

smashingchuck · 03-30-2010, 12:39 AM

Nice truck. Nice suspension. Nice wheels. I like it.

**67cheby** · 03-30-2010, 09:31 AM

i agree with everyone else... SICK, i dig the wheels

bruce bruce · 03-30-2010, 10:31 AM

Should have some more pics first of next week. We have to pull the rear end and set the tires up in there to see how much we need to narrow the rear end. I bought 4" back spacing so I'm thinking we will need to cut about 3" a side. Back half should be sick...fabricator has some cool ideas.
