This is a great truck, I really like what you're doin with it. I think these wheels would look great. Plus 950 for a set is a steal. Looking forward to seeing what you decide

CC69Rat · 04-22-2012, 11:00 AM

I have to run to the bank Mon at lunch, so when that deposit clears I'm going to order them. It will be a month or so befote i can get it dropped but.. just pulling everything together before i tear into it too much. Im just adjusting door strikers etc just to make it as solid and straight as possible.

I'm having fun driving it as is. I went up to dads yesterday and the old GMC just ran flawlessly. It really has a a nice gear and tourqe curve to it. The truck really drives good. The mileage shows 80k.. thinking maybe, just maybe its original?

Update: I have the $ for the Coys, but I am also going to GoodGuys in Nashville Mid May. I have decided to just hang on a couple more weeks and possibly buy my wheels there. Maybe I'll catch a show special or something (?)

I have also found a good connection for the Centerline Boulevards. .. we'll see what happens. I really like the Coys, but I am very indecicive when it comes to stuff like this. I want it to be right.

raull · 04-25-2012, 08:43 AM

good guys show , we don't get nice shows like that down here !!!!!

LakeAnna · 04-25-2012, 08:51 AM

Man... I would love to ride down to the Nashville show! Not gonna be ready by a long shot thou.

CC69Rat · 04-25-2012, 08:53 AM

Chris -- come to Chatt and you can go with us. Drop by and pick up Jonathan on your way !

LakeAnna · 04-25-2012, 09:04 AM

That would be great if Jonathon didn't mind riding on a chair in the cab... all while being driven on a rollback...

With no windshield or doors I might add

Sounds like a good plan!

CC69Rat · 04-25-2012, 07:02 PM

I went ahead and ordered my new Axles today from Moser. 5 lug, just so I can swap out the old and in with the new. New seals, studs, etc. Still deciding on the wheels.. but I needed the axels too. Just one step closer. Maybe something will turn up at Nashville but between now and then I still have a few smaller pieces to gather up.

CC69Rat · 05-05-2012, 08:28 PM

Added a few small things today. 350/255hp sticker on the air cleaner just going for that original feel.. And a 3 spoke comfort grip wheel.

I am planning to paint the column when I can, and I also have a new bezel for it. I will detail the lens, paint the needles, etc. I'd like to wait on installing the bezel until I get a dash pad and do it all while it's apart.

Also picked up a new set of black carpet too! I'll get there, one piece at a time.

VA72C10 · 05-05-2012, 08:33 PM

Looking good!

**lolife99** · 05-06-2012, 07:13 AM

This truck is perfect.
Everything you do, makes it better!

How do you like the new steering wheel?
They are my favorite steering wheel.

NoNeck · 05-07-2012, 11:49 AM

Hey Chad -
Your Moser 5 lug axles finally got to my house. They really look strong! Now if we just had some wheels...

POP

CC69Rat · 05-07-2012, 01:15 PM

Id like to have everything in a pile so we do it all in one shot. I should have the $ for the drop in a couple weeks. Still undecided on wheels, you know how I am..

big_al_71 · 05-07-2012, 06:21 PM

Nice additions thus far!!!!

wheels descision was one of my hardest for me to do, I made a poll on the ones I liked and let the voters decide and I am glad I went with the majority vote..

Scottk6204 · 05-13-2012, 09:17 PM

I just ordered my Coys C57's the other day in 20x8.5 and 20x10's and am worried that i should have ordered the rears in 22x9's. I hate trying to make decisions on wheels. Your truck is awesome and that is the exact color combo I would love to have!

I bought a 68 shortbox from a friend of mine in Alabama last month. Its a real nice rust free truck that I had him convert it over to 5 lug with disc brakes and install a CPP lowering kit. I don't even have the truck yet but I have ordered wheels for it and have a 5.3 LS 4L60E ready to install once it shows up, lol!

CC69Rat · 05-17-2012, 04:17 PM

Sup fellas .. (and gals too if any)

I'm leaving Sat morning early for GoodGuys in Nashville. I will likely bring home a set of wheels. .. I saw this picture today, I really, really like this look. I think the Coys just might be the best bet for me. I'd do 20s up front though.

shawno72 · 05-17-2012, 04:27 PM

How did you get a pic of my truck Chad?!?!

yeah I wish.

CC69Rat · 05-17-2012, 04:42 PM

I saw it on Craigslist actually. $8500, full air ride, etc. Looks like a good truck ,just needs a little body work. It needs 20's up front in my opinion, I just like the looks of the C57 wheel. I think that might be it. ..

VA72C10 · 05-17-2012, 05:12 PM

I think that wheel will look great on your truck!

If you don't find a deal at the show I saw on the coys facebook page that they are offering free shipping right now on certain 20's.

I've always liked the look of the c57s, they look REALLY good on the truck from Craigslist! Not to mention that they are a different look from the old standby Torq Thrust and C5 5 spokes. I like different...
