Your41Plague12 · 08-20-2011, 01:53 PM

You nailed it. I wouldn't change a single thing, I'd drive the wheels off it. Perfect.

bigblock79 · 08-20-2011, 09:55 PM

good looking truck

TRAU 82 · 09-26-2011, 11:02 AM

killer truck...love the stance! wish i had a bad set of wheels like that when i first turned 16! well done Nico...would love to see more pics!

59bones · 09-26-2011, 06:56 PM

Beautiful truck and perfect stance. Yeah the rally wheels look great. I'm with the others that say do no more except drive it!

I'm jonesin for a Suburban but maybe I should keep my 76 shorty.

TRAU 82 · 10-03-2011, 03:07 PM

Nico are those rallies 15x8's all the way around? have to do any grinding on those djm spindles to get the rallies to fit? at that step on my 82 and have heard talk on having to grind on the drop spindles to fit the factory rallies. was curious how much grinding if any was involved or any fitment issues you may have had...great looking truck man!

1LowToy · 10-03-2011, 11:45 PM

I'm curious too about the 15x8s When mine was that low it rubbed so I brought it back up some with 255x60s. If te spindles are DJM I think they would be 2.5". My beltechs are 3" and yes it took some grinding.

Project Nico · 10-04-2011, 01:51 PM

The rims are 15x8 all around and did have to grind on 3 inch dropped spindles.

I decided to go with a two tone look.....here she is

Project Nico · 05-07-2012, 07:02 PM

Messed up...here it is.

Your41Plague12 · 05-09-2012, 08:58 AM

Nice! I'm not sure which I like better in your case, they both look good. I'll admit it though, I'm a sucker for two-tones. I've never seen a two tone truck with only the half trim setup though, it's different.

Gordonr1973 · 05-09-2012, 10:22 AM

Very nice!
