Finally settled on my wheels, very common wheels but I like the look.
Boss 338
20x8 Front with 245 45 R20
20x10 Rear with 275 40 R20

Love the look, bolted right up with no issues

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Today was very productive! I was able to get my door windows installed and my new Front Air Dam. Thanks to this thread:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=423059

It was an easy install and it only cost me $19 and a few bolts i had laying around. I bought it off Amazon. 88-98 Silverado front air dam. Works perfect!

I bought a CPP spring kit from a friend years ago and he told me it was a 5” kit. I believe it’s 3 in the front and 5 in the rear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

We're pulling this Saturday for a stripped frame. Still undecided if the transmission goes with or separate. I bought a transmission jack, so either way works.

I pulled an engine once, which was this one back in 1993. My old buddy led. He had a chain hoist hung from the ceiling. Dollars to donuts the stud was unsupported.........YIKES!
