Sick truck man. Killer stance is that on drop spindles and cupped lower arms alone? What size spindles are thoses? I dig the black wheels and caps too. I bet you guys see a lot of drop jaws and thumbs up when your cruising together. Sicks rides guys.

215/75/15 frt 235/70 on the rear. I did have it on ebay for a day, but pulled it for a local buyer. The deal fell thru so I decided to keep it & enjoy it for a while. Oh the wheels are 7s on the frt & 8s on the rear.

Its a CPP bolt in notch. I wish the truck sat lower. I still may play with the frt more, & cut a hole in the bed floor.

mano · 05-26-2012, 02:12 PM

Heres a little update. Painted the wheels red & buffed it up a bit.

plainred65 · 05-26-2012, 02:38 PM

ol_skool_chevy · 12-02-2012, 01:08 AM
