Its amazing what a new attitude and some new shoes will do for an old girl huh.....

**Joesjunk** · 05-09-2008, 03:29 PM

Looks good, I like it!!

70rs/ss · 05-09-2008, 07:44 PM

Leave the faded paint, otherwise new satin paint might overshadow the look. As is it is cool. Could you get a 72 rear instead of spacers, as it is a bit safer and the 72 rear is 1.5-2" wider?? Just a thought as I fear a spacer failing at speed and getting someone hurt or killed.

Spray-Bomb · 05-09-2008, 07:47 PM

I like it with the caps myself

orange72c10 · 05-09-2008, 09:27 PM

Looks nice!!

dkauffman05 · 05-09-2008, 11:53 PM

Dig the caps

Looks awesome, I asked to have my wheels photo shopped white with the caps. No one did it though. I think I will be running a trim ring to offset the white. Thanks for the pics.

Ol'Rover · 05-10-2008, 12:36 AM

i realy like it, where did you get the caps & rims?

ANTHONY 67 · 05-10-2008, 12:50 AM

looks good

bad6772 · 05-10-2008, 12:57 AM

Looks killer.IMO i wouldnt change a thing.

jcblue · 05-10-2008, 01:53 AM

i really like your beater.. can i get the specs?
did you just use springs? where did you get the wheels?
lastly, what size are the tires..
thanks a bunch
o.. if you dont mind me asking, what did you have in it money wise..?

tcb-1 · 05-10-2008, 02:03 AM

JC,
I'll chime in for James. This is from a previous post.

"As for specs, the fronts are stock 15 X 6's with 235/75R15's and the rears are 15 X 8" 6-lug 4WD rims with 275/60R15's. I may add a rear spacer on the rears like I did on my red '69 C/10 to get the rears out just a little more. I also might gp with a 215 or 225/70 on the front. The 235's measure the same as the 275's on the rear but kinda appear taller."

He'll have to give you the 411 on the drop.

67_C-30 · 05-10-2008, 02:52 AM

YES!

My biggest stumbling block about leaving this truck like it is has been the black spray paint on the door (as trivial as that sounds on a beater!

) So today, armed only with Royal blue, Chrysler engine blue, and Hot Rod White spray bombs, I fixed that! I cannot believe how good it turned out. The pics are bad because it was getting dark, but it really blended in quite well. I'll post better pics tomorrow. I think I'm gonna fix the rockers, fix the rust hole in the drivers door and let it ride!
I'm still going to do a little more. But seriously, just looking at whole truck, who would ever know it was doctored?

67_C-30 · 05-10-2008, 02:54 AM

It was in the door before patinafication!

Thanks for fielding the others questions Doug! As for the drop and total cost of project:

The drop is a RFW original drop kit!

I cut a round a half off the front and heated the front just a little to tweak them in , and I heated the rear.

Including the can of Hot Rod white spray paint I bought today, my rolling total is up to $1274 and change.

Thank You !! I think you need to have the rears stretched to 15x11 with my back space !! But I think your ride looks great the way it is !! It makes me happy to think someone other than me thinks my truck is cool !! Keep up the good work !! Bob

tcb-1 · 05-10-2008, 04:46 AM

Hey Bob,
James isn't the only one who has secretly lusted after your lwb!!!!!

jcblue · 05-10-2008, 07:27 AM

i like it.. do you know if the stillies come in 5 lug
?

Ol'Rover · 05-10-2008, 02:38 PM

yes, they do 71 & 72 had them too.

**steelhorse** · 05-10-2008, 03:18 PM

Im glad to see that those hubcaps went to a good purpose other than holding bolts like I would have done.After seeing your build thread it almost makes me want to keep the old 6cyl.

greasy68 · 05-10-2008, 06:20 PM

It is cool with the caps. I dig it.
