Thanks, Evo is my track toy.

Rims mounted with tires, appears I need some spacers to get the rears alittle closer to wheel well lip.

Might lower the front a bit, the back is raised up a bit with the bags. Onky issue would be the bottom of the header might scrape on sharpe inclines. Anybody know of a good shorty big block header for our trucks?

Pop's C-10 · 07-11-2011, 03:01 PM

looks killer

franky69c10 · 07-11-2011, 03:21 PM

shaggy4267 · 07-11-2011, 06:34 PM

Spacer pics

Im going to get a parts truck tonight

1980c-10 mybaby · 07-15-2011, 06:15 PM

What backspacing did you get? and im assuming that caused you to get wheel spacers?... im looking to order those rims here shortly... what size are your rims?

**lolife99** · 07-15-2011, 06:18 PM

The 20" 338's only come with one choice of backspacing.
They were originally designed to fit the 88-98 trucks.

1980c-10 mybaby · 07-15-2011, 06:20 PM

so that means ill need wheel spacers also since im getting the 20's?
and where can i get these wheel spacers at?

1980c-10 mybaby · 07-16-2011, 01:24 AM

shaggy4267 · 07-16-2011, 09:25 AM

The parts truck I went to get yesterday. Has NEW poly cab and radiator mounts, fenders, fender wells, doors. A texas or arizona box and cab. Not much as far as rust!

I will be listing the transfer case and trans, two front driveshafts, frame, 3in lift w/bolts in the for sale section soon as I get the rest of the body off.
