Just a thought, but I still vote for brown if you do go with paint.

I have had more people say that then anything about this truck! to leave it just how it is. I do like it it but living here in Ohio I would have a lot of rust problems I would have to stay on top of

Im in love with those fenders!

bossmanivy · 08-31-2012, 06:49 PM

Super Sweet build. I think the truck is going to be perfect. I would go with the Beamer Brown. What ever you choose will be just as badass as the rest of the truck! keeep it up

This is the 2nd or 3rd run at the Columbus Goodguys, and we have the rear squat issues straightened out now, had to play around with the vette suspension . Haven't got to take it back to a autocross track since we did but it should really help.

WOW!!! That truck sounds nasty!!

I gotta say that the Marrakesh Brown with a cream top would really good and also really unique.

BTW all the fab work is just fantastic, I will be following this for sure!

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-06-2012, 12:47 PM

Super Cool build ! I like the brown too. maybe a little bias though.

72blueshark · 09-06-2012, 04:41 PM

Thanks! and I wish I knew, I still can't decide! but I'm favoring the BMW brown right now.

Great looking truck. Was searching around for some 18 inch wheels and found your build. Looking great. What is the back spacing for the front and rear wheels if you don't mind me asking? Many thanks and keep up the great work. It is looking super!

Thanks man! 18x9 in the front with 5" back spacing and 275/45/18 tires and the rear are 18x12 with 7" backspacing and 335/30/18 tires. I had to go with a lot more backspacing on mine though due to the Corvette suspension being so much more narrow then the stock truck suspension. So just keep that in mind that it wont be the same for a original suspension truck.

Actually, if you don't mind doing a little tubbing and you're running a 67-70 rearend, this backspace is what you need - it's what I'm running on my '69 stepside. Exact same wheel & tire size, same backspace, but I did have the trim the fender lip a bit and I sectioned out a fleetside tub to clear the tire inside the bed. Granted mine is a stepside so it's a little different, but it will work.

Thanks! that should answer some of the questions people have asked me on that back spacing and I didn't want to give an answer saying it would work because I really wasn't sure! Much appreciated
