Show me you lowered long beds! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NevadaDVX · 10-23-2010, 02:55 PM

I'm working on a 71 long bed for a lady and need ideas on lowering and tire/wheel options. We don't want anything radical, just a decent drop and rims not over 20".. Please post how much your truck is lowered and rim/tire sizes. Here is a pic of the truck in its current condition, but it will also have a Gaylords hard tonneau on it once painted. Thanks in advance for any idea/photos....

Maybe a little too radical.

copy/paste the link in my signature. The old longhorn is what I call "loosely" a 3/5 drop. it also has a 1 1/2 " body drop, & a 4" chop top. 29" tall tire (rear on a 15 " wheel,& a 28" tire front also on a 15" wheel).Yes I do have the scars left from the threads in my knuckles for all that work

Zoomin, that truck looks GREAT and exactly what we are looking for. Where is the best place to get Coys wheels? I thought about Torque Thruster II's, but those look even better! Are those 8" wide?

Zoomin · 10-23-2010, 09:11 PM

Got mine off eBay, they came mounted and balanced.

I corrected my post since you copied it - 18's all the way around. 8's on on front and 10's on back.

CURSED GEARS · 10-24-2010, 09:34 AM

Ive posted this a few times, but you asked. 4 inch drop springs with a two inch block in the rear. Tires are 15's but don't know the numbers off hand.
