Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
FrankieD, It's hard to watch an old truck get crushed like that, but we all know that we can't keep them all even though we really want to, it just isn't possible.

Me too for $200 for sure. Prolly could have got that back out of one of the bedsides if they were as good as they looked.

Are you planning on getting her down a bit as I think that would look great with your 17's..

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
All i could think when I saw the death pics was one of those long trailing off noooooooooooooooooos.. lol She was rough and im glad she organ donored to other trucks, but it is sad to see these trucks go to scrap. Im always glad to see a guy furiously working to save a cab even when people are telling him its cheaper to go find another and scrap his.

It's all about time, ability, how much room you have to work in and most of all money

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Thanks! They are made by American Racing, i bought them through a company called TireRack. Great to deal with, i purchased them on a Friday, and got them on the following Tuesday, very fast!
& ya the grille is a 69/70 grille but i think it looks better than the 71/72 IMO.. |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
American racing sells the 2-peice TTII and also the 1-peice TT2.1. Virtually the same wheel, but the 2.1 is, well as mentioned, 1 peice, so there's no custom offsets.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Just got my new rims and tires put on today. They are 265/75/16 Michelin LTX MS wheels on 16x8 Ion Alloys 171 series wheels. The whole set cost more than the truck did.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
[QUOTE=CC69Rat;4687109]VDOG - any more pics of your truck at 3/4 drop? I am about to drop my 68 and I can't decide on 4 or 5 in the back. Thanks.
Sorry im just getting back to you. Yes its a 3/4 drop, I have heavy duty coils in the back since I still use it for clean up till we finish our house. Then im going to a 4 1/2 in the front and a 5" drop in the back. My spindles are stock height right now. 15x8's in the front and 15x10 1/2 in the back. Hope this helps. |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Well, in my opinion, that's one of the beauties of the 67-72 Chevy Truck genre. There's enough of the same style to keep us all interested. And enough different to keep all of our interest.
I like your grill. I like 67- 68-69-70 front ends, in general. But I built a '72 a few years back, The picture of it, and in particular the front end, had me coming back for more. This time, I had the choice to run a 68 front clip, but I'm going with the '71 (grill's hanging on the wall right now). Pretty much the reverse of what most folks do, given the option. But, that's the way I want it.
