Details anyone???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Stroker · 11-30-2003, 10:57 PM

I grabbed this pic off the board and I'm not sure if this belongs to a board member or not. Anyway does anyone know any details: wheel make, tire size, drop, ect. Anyone have pics of the rest of the truck. I really like the way the tire wheel combo fits the wheel well. Thanks...Stroker

from the look of the rim it looks like it is a boyd coddington rim...they sure do look good....... but your wallet won't!! I have friends that have dropped 3 to 4 thousand on a set in the past.

YES I DO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THAT TRUCK. IT USED TO BELONG TO BLAKE ARONSON (DROPT72SHORTBED) & IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE NOW. I DROVE MY OLD TOWTRUCK 500 MILES DOWN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH CALIFORNIA , BOUGHT THIS PROJECT FROM HIM & HAULED IT HOME. THE WHEELS WERE 5 ON 4 3/4" BOLT CIRCLE, & WERE JUST SET IN THE WHEELWELL FOR A MOCK UP PHOTO. BLAKE FOUND HIMSELF SUPER BUSY WITH COLLEGE, & DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO FINISH THIS PROJECT, SO I TOOK IT OVER. IT'S A COMPLETELY RUSTFREE 72 SHORT FLEET CHEYENNE.

John it looks like you latched on to a nice one. The paint looks great. How far along is the project now. Thanks.....Stroker

junkyardjohn · 12-01-2003, 01:35 AM

THE TRUCK HAS NO FRONT CLIP ON IT. IT IS A 72 & HE WAS GOING TO PUT A 68 FRONT END ON IT. IT CAME WITH A GOOD HOOD & GRILL & INNERS, BUT NO FENDERS. THATS OK THOUGH CAUSE I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A FEW. IT HAS A CRATE MOTOR WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT & IS STILL UNDER WARRENTY. IT'S A 350, T-350, WITH A 373 12 BOLT POSI. HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF BAGGIN IT, BUT I DIDN'T WANT THE BAGS & HAD DROPPED SPRINGS THAT WE INSTALLED IN ALL 4 CORNERS BEFORE I TOWED IT BACK TO NEVADA.THE CAB & BED & TAILGATE ARE PERFECTLY STAIGHT & RUSTFREE. IT OUGHT TO MAKE A GOOD DRIVER BY NEXT SUMMER.

HERES A COUPLE OF PIC.S I TOOK WHEN I PICKED IT UP, JUST BEFORE I PUT IT ON THE HOOK.

junkyardjohn · 12-01-2003, 01:43 AM

STROKER -- I'VE HAD IT HOME FOR 2 WEEKS, & HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO WORK ON IT YET. JUST UNLOAD ALL THE PARTS OUT OF IT. IT CAME WITH ALMOST ALL THE PARTS TO PUT IT TOGETHER. ONE PART I DO NEED THOUGH IS A HEADER PANEL FOR A WOODEN FLEET BED. IT SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD BY EARLY SPRING.
