Awesome job! What kind of steering wheel is that?

*dtlilly* · 05-15-2004, 03:17 PM

That has to be one of the nicest stock/custom trucks to come around here in a while. The hard work and endless money has definately payed off, and you own a really nice truck.

mikej71 · 05-15-2004, 04:04 PM

Very, very nice! It's exactly what I'm going for with my '71. Would you mind posting your tire/wheel specs?

Mike

**lock** · 05-15-2004, 08:31 PM

Sweet truck. Those wheels look awesome on black paint! Diggin the stealthram as well!

**68 Stepside** · 05-15-2004, 09:02 PM

*right click, save as* Wow!!!! What a sweet ride!!! I definitely have new wallpaper now....

phantom dually · 05-15-2004, 09:21 PM

I would simply level out the truck by lowering the back end therfore the front end should not bottom out.

72c10step · 05-15-2004, 11:02 PM

Wow, your truck is looking sweet!! I may have to go check it out in person when I get home in the summer (or maybe even Memorial Day Weekend, I'll be home for a few days

). What do ya think? Maybe take me for a spin?

weasel29gm · 05-15-2004, 11:38 PM

Stearing wheel is a Grant

MIkeJ, The wheels are American Racing Torque Thrust II Classics
Rears are 15 x 10 Reversed Rims w/295/50, front are 15 x 8 Reversed Rim 235/60

Phanton Dually, Nothing by any means bottoms out on the truck, The rear axle has 3in between axle housing and frame and I didn't want to notch the frame, The original specs on the front when ordered was to be about 1.5 inches higher. I don't mind so much the look of the front end being low like it is but I am not getting any weight transfer to the rear, My first day out and not even close to being tuned I snapped the throttle and the truck went sideways a few times.

72c10step, I have no problem with anyone stopping by...

Again, I thank everyones comments on my truck.

nitor · 05-16-2004, 08:19 AM

Very very nice truck!

How much did the bezel and glove box cost? I went to the link you have, but there are no prices.

You can follow this link on some info on the dash and glove box, I don't remember exactly what I payed.

That is one tough looking truck

Quagmire · 06-03-2004, 06:39 PM

great job man, your truck is very clean.

really digging that bezel, i think i finally found what i'm going to do with mine now

SLS · 07-09-2004, 09:39 PM

The truck looks fantastic! I absolutely LOVE it. Great job, you should be very proud.

mikeoj · 07-09-2004, 10:25 PM

Any details on the 3 pt seat belts.Thanks,Mike

59gmctruck · 07-09-2004, 10:32 PM

Nice........

67chev · 07-10-2004, 02:52 AM

Bowtie...what does that dash setup run? I went to the website, but no prices listed.

IVANtheTERRIBLE · 07-10-2004, 01:41 PM

All the effort you put into your truck payed off. I hope mine will look as good..

Bowtie67 · 07-10-2004, 03:05 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, I just got back from the alignment shop after replacing upper and lower control arms to raise the frontend up a couple of inches that it should have been to begin with and also to have the rear diff aligned from the 4 link suspension. I had to put a set of stock wheels on the rear with some snow tires for the alignment machine. This truck has to have wide tires, almost everytime i would get into it the truck would go sideways.

MikeOJ: I dont remember where I got those seat belts from but was easy install, I think GMC Pauls has a complete setup including middle seat belt for resonable money.

67Chev, I'm not sure or remember the exact price on the dash setup inpart because it was part of the deal with the Glove box, If you went to his sight there is a phone number to call and just speak to Javy, Pretty descent guy and I am quite happy with the dash. He can give you what ever his current prices are. Oh and mention to him you saw a pick of my truck and the info was there to call him. Dash does not come with guages..
