Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

I like a little stagger, but this might be a bit overboard...

I'd hate to be nearby, and especially not in the cab, if one of those tires shreds

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

I never did get round to posting details of what I finally decided to get for my truck.

Eventually went with Rocket Racing 18" Rocket Booster in silver. 7" in the front and 8" in the rear with 235/60 up front and 265/60 on the rear.











Now all I need to do is finish the cab repairs, fit the doors, paint the cab, fit it, fit the engine and transmission, finish and paint the bed panels, install the bed, finish, paint and fit the front end sheet steel then the interior, wiring etc etc etc.

Simples!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

At he rear its 3" drop springs. Id have liked to go a bit lower, possibly, but I don't want to have to start altering the frame.

Ive got 2.5" drop spindles on the front but I couldn't get the standard height springs to fit, so I fitted the 2" lower springs that came with the 78 front clip.

Depending one what the front end and overall stance looks like I may keep it like that. I quite like a little nose down stance even if its a bit old school these days.

Nice truck and I dig those wheels and tires. I've always loved the old kidney bean slots. The stance looks perfect, what are you running?
