6772GSK5D 1967-72 Grand Slam Suspension/Brake Upgrade w/ 5-Lug Rotors, kit from Classic Performance

The rear wheels are 22's and the fronts are 20's I cant remember the tire size but will find out...

cdhc10 · 01-07-2010, 06:00 PM

that kit has a 2.5" drop spindle, what about the other components like springs and upper and lower control arms. Which ones did they go with? Also what is the rear drop?

No offense .. but I actually like yours better bro. I think it sits better, just overall look and feel of the truck. I know the other one has a giant mill in it, .. but still. I think yours looks better. Just my .02.

no_rice · 12-06-2012, 06:52 PM

i really like both the trucks!

but i do have a question about yours. is it still the 4/6 drop with 18/20's?

mine has 20/22's a rear flip kit and lower springs up front(done before me so not sure on the front drop) anyway, point being... the rear wheels JUST line up the top of the tire with the fender lip, but ive got about 2 to 2 1/2" of gap above the front tire to the fender lip and had been trying to convince myself id be ok with the extra rake that 2.5 drop spindles would give me so that the fender/wheel gap was uniform.

i thought it would look like crap(since the smaller front bigger rear wheel setup adds to the rake even more), but yours looks great. and if yours still is the 4/6 18/20 setup then mine is more then likely the 6" or so you get from the rear flip kit and maybe a 2" upfront... and i think id be happy with a set of drop spindles.

I like Al's truck more, It's has always been one of my favorite trucks. I'm going down to Florida one of these days and take a ride in it.

big_al_71 · 03-20-2013, 01:57 PM

After the upgrades we did on sylvester last year I dont know if my trucks evil twin is that much better

c10Dream'n · 03-20-2013, 03:18 PM

I would have to say they are both beautiful trucks, but by far the wheel choice and stance you have on yours big_Al is a sure winner in my book. Laying low in the weeds is my style. Truck looks great as always.....

Bennett68C10 · 03-20-2013, 03:27 PM

I agree Al, I like your wheels and suspension setup alot more than on the evil twin. Eventhough I do love that huge BBC, I would take yours. I think you nailed it, one of my favorite trucks on the board.
