Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
Great truck man you really have good vision.
LOL! I literally laughed out loud on that one, but yeah I know what you mean the man has nice everything and I can see how you would feel that way, heck I feel like mine is junk compared to his too and I have some nice stuff, but you have to realize it isn't finished untill it's finished so keep hammering away at it and yours will turn out great. |

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
I just spent an hour going through the whole thread,wow is an understatement.Everything, house, garage, toys and PU are just over the top and a drummer besides all that is just cool. I'll have to send you a pic of my Rogers snare drum collection.Keep up the great work.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
Yes I do. The church is what got me back out of retirement a few years ago. They just needed a fill in and within a few months I was full time. I started studying with a local drummer 18 months ago and it feels pretty good. I take a one hour lesson each week. I have a few other guys I jam with and every now and then we play a gig. Playing drums is something I really enjoy.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
I decided my dually needed a face lift. My wants were some nice 26" alcoa dually wheels but there are just too many projects going on in my garage for me to spend that kind of money. Here is my before picture.
![]() My solution was a new set of 34" Nitto Dura Grappler tires. I decided to remove the outside chrome wheel cover and paint the steel wheels black but retain the center chrome factory cap. I am pretty happy with the look and for the cost of the tires and a can of spray paint I have a new looking truck. ![]() Over on another forum i requested help to get my truck photoshopped with a black paint scheme I had in my head. I thought if I did it I would have in done in vinyl so I could remove it later. What do you guys think of added the black on the hood and the top half of my cab?? ![]() |

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
certainly different from stock but with the addition of vinyl removal later will have the truck permanently two toned from it being sheltered on top opposed to the bottom but that's only if you keep it a long time.
Personally I like it the black on the wheels really set this truck off either design current or added black would look great

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
I like the black on top look. You said you were thinking vinyl, look in to a thing called "plasti Dip". Bought mine from homedepot. It is a cheep way to try and see if you like something and then if you do, you would not have to do anything more just leave it. I have used it before and it is Durable.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
like the new look , how about a black 6 inch tail pipe and also from what it seems in the pix you gonna do the top part in flat black , how about blacking out the bumpers and grille , ive seen it done in a few trucks and it looks pretty mean specially on a dually, just throwing ideas at you ,

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
I love the stock wheel mod and the new tires.
Are the Terra Grapplers 6, 8, or 10 ply?

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
thanks guys for the opinions. I am really happy that I made a nice improvement that cost me just a little money($6 for a can of paint
![]() I tried to check the load rating on Nitto's website and it said 3900 lbs. I really like these tires because they are quite. I have had my share of 4 x 4 trucks all my life and I have never been into mud tires. Heck, the price you pay for a new truck who wants to get it muddy!!!!! These Duragrapplers ride nice and dont make alot of noise. They are in limited sizes though and do no get real big in size. I had some of Nitto's Trail Grapplers on my last truck (40's radials) and they were nice too. I think Nitto makes a great tire. |

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
Time for a little update on my thread. Trust me when I say if there are any significant developments I would let you guys know. Between a 1970 frame off on a Chevelle and a Corvette project I have been busy. I have finally brought in a few guys to help out so I can make some progress.
One thing that has transpired is I removed the 454 and had a motor built. A nice 468 cu inch monster. I should be picking the motor up next week. I will get a video of it on the engine stand and post it. ![]() One thing we worked on which haunts all of us is our hood hinges. We started working with some hinges I got from a company I have always loved and purchased quite a bit of product from. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the seats I picked up for the truck. Don't laugh when I say they came out of a Hyundai ![]() ![]() Also, please do not laugh at the mock up.........yes this is a plywood console which is not staying in the truck. We were just playing around trying to get a perspective. I think we are going with metal. ![]() Here is a car I own with the same Hyundai seats in them........they can be made to look pretty killer ![]() ![]() |
