Re: Project: Blank Slate
Okay Okay....Nate what updates have you done to your ride since adding the slick looking wheel/tire combo?
You ever get a 2004R tranny? It's what I am thinking about doing as well since I FINALLY sold my 250ci/Powerglide. Have a great weekend! Scott.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Gotta say, this is my favorite truck. I appreciate the time you spend on here helping everyone out. The truck looks great, everything you did was tasteful, understated and just plain cool. I hope I look half as good driving around in my 72' as your buddy does sitting in yours.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I am a new guy here, but have had my '72 Suburban for almost 20 years now.
I read the entire thread and really enjoyed it. While my truck was never as nice as yours, you have inspired me greatly. Mine looks okay right now, but could really use an interior. It was blue before, had a wreck, and now it is red with a white top. I gotta hand it to you, your truck looks great. |

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Just went through the whole build and you've got one clean short bed! Everything you've done has just made the truck look that much better! Looking killer. Keep it up!

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I think his truck is tucked away
I dont think he is into that stuff, just a nice relatively stock truck. He has good taste also

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate,
I already bought new 17" Racing Legend 6 Wheels from Summit Racing. After looking for countless hours at all the board members with 20" Vintec Wheels, I think I made a mistake. I think I will send them back and get Vintecs for my truck. Are your wheels the dished, or soft lip versions? Your Blank Slate Thread is costing me more money every day. I received my 4-6 drop and 6 lug disc brake conversion from ECE this week. I am looking forward to getting all this put on my truck. Another question for you is where did you buy your wheels? I have no idea how much these are going to run me. On the website it looks like I will be looking around $525 each. Thanks again for helping me spend my money. |

As for the wheels I found a good buddy that was able to order the wheels through his supplier, that way I could ensure the wheels would be order according to my specs. Check out Newstalgia Wheel as they are an online supplier for Billet Specialties. Be sure to start on a build thread so we can see your progress.

You guys are really tempting me with this... but at this, bags are not "slated" for this project.
