ocbaud · 08-15-2004, 06:55 PM

Dirty Dan · 08-15-2004, 07:05 PM

Those do look good.

cliffsta · 08-15-2004, 07:17 PM

:thumbs up:
looks good to me!!

gldevall · 08-15-2004, 11:20 PM

Cool! Have you done anything else to it? Is that a 2/4 drop you have on it?

MylilBowTie · 08-16-2004, 03:03 AM

How about some new pics of the 86 `

LOHRTBT · 08-16-2004, 11:27 AM

ICK!! Sorry dude....this one I cant agree with at all. Ever since I first saw those wheels I wanted to puke. Couldnt believe that GM would put those foul wheels on such an expensive truck. ;(

Not tryin to rag dude...just my opinion and yes...I know it stinks!! haha
Truck looks great though

AirMale · 08-16-2004, 01:23 PM

It's a 3/4 drop using McGaughy's spindles and W.C. 1" springs. The rear is a McGaughy's shackle/hanger with a W.C. notch and douch-tech shocks all the way around. The wheels are off Ebay...$207, new tires...$340, mounted and balanced them at my friends shop....FREE. I sold the stock wheels and tires for $400. So it cost me $147 to switch to the Esky wheels. I just wanted a stock look with something other than those silverado wheels I see on every truck. It's my daily driver so I didn't want to drop much cash on wheels that will see "salty" jersey winters. I'll need your phone # Dave so I can discuss future purchases with you....I feel like a dope knowing you hate my wheels

bigblock73 · 08-16-2004, 01:26 PM

I like them, something different...and they match too.

Who cares what Dave thinks...he doesn't even drive his truck anymore, thats if he still owns it!

j/k Dave

AirMale · 08-16-2004, 01:33 PM

I thought he sat in front of his computer at work?....He's probably outside in the garden picking fresh cucumber
