i sniped this on the list looking for a month or so. not as nice as the one i had, but it will work. 71 short. 350 4 spd. fac tach. 373 positraction. leaf rear, which almost made me walk from the sale, but a actually kinda like it.

i installed ece 2 in drop springs and 1 to 2 drop shackles. found the appliance wheels just after i bought the truck. 235 70 15 front. 255 70 15 rear. its too bad corky coker dropped the 285. they look right in the rear of these trucks.

They still list the 285 on the site....you sure they dropped it?

She's Beautiful but watch the potholes with that size tires. I just bent 2 of mine beyond repair with that exact size tire. They don't make these rims anymore so now I've got the 15's back on it til I can buy a new set. Name: IMG_4886.jpg

I actually like the 15s better on your truck.

IMO, it looks better with the 15's

jayman68 · 08-23-2010, 12:20 AM

^^^ x2. I like the deep dish (pizza??) black rim style, with some rubber showing. I do think the others look good also.

I guess it's x3

cam.man67 · 08-23-2010, 07:11 AM

Yeah, I much prefer the 15's on your truck. It looks really sharp.

olskoolchevy · 08-23-2010, 05:26 PM

Thanks everybody. It sure rides a lot better with the 15s.

Yeah, I have no idea what the name of the rims are but they're made by American Racing. They look like Nascar rims to me. They even have the little red and blue stripes around the lip.

1LoC10 · 08-23-2010, 06:02 PM

I thought those wheels were called Daytonas, but I cant find them

1LoC10 · 08-23-2010, 06:05 PM

I guess these are what I was thinking...different wheel... never mind

ah_5500 · 08-23-2010, 11:10 PM

believe me i know. those wheels got a few places on them and i have your 20's except in 24's on my daily with a 275 30, which is around the same tire height. ive got a few years practice on pothole awareness. lol. also....to each is his own buuutttt your truck with the 20's with red lips (black spokes) and a nice flat black paint job would be sick. imo

3r!c84 · 08-23-2010, 11:33 PM

1LoC10 · 08-24-2010, 09:18 AM

MrClean · 08-24-2010, 06:48 PM
