Long Night in the Garage Polishing Billets for the 85

[Racie]

Man I spent a little beer time and polishing time with my old billets last night. They have been sitting in a climate controlled shop for about 3 years and have never seen the road. They were originally for my 68 C10 build but I got luck and officially got sponsored by another billet wheel vendor for that project. So lucky me I get to put these on my 85' (which I didn't originally plan to cut on). So it looks like I will be doing a narrowed rear-end and minor tubbing to accommodate the rear and change to a 45 series tire up front. I will want to tuck all the way around so I'm going to have a pretty aggressive static drop to tuck the top of the tires minimum. Also thinking about changing the centers of my billets to a darker brushed nickel or just a gunmetal color.

Sweet ride... Tucking the billets will be even better!

Thanks Midwestern hopefully just a couple weeks and I'll be done!

Baddass rims would mind PMing me the size and offsets tire size

Thanks

Very nice! Those should look alright on the '85 . I'm interested in seeing how you get your static drop. I'm trying to do the same thing on my '68, static drop with the tires tucked.

I'm not a tire-tucker personally but I look forward to seeing how those look on your square-body. Nice truck.

Can’t wait to see this one! What drop are you gonna use?

Don't necessarily need to tuck them but I will say I don't want fender gap...

Not sure yet maybe a bit modified going for at least 6/7 with appropriate lowering shocks...

You pulling your front inners? I’m trying to get another inch or so drop to be more proportioned with the rear but I will most likely rub and need slosh mild tubz or no inners at all.

Going to try it with a 45 series tire first on the 19". But if I pull fenders I'm definitely going slosh mild tubz.
