I'm not sure about the tires but the wheels are Rev 100's from American Racing. 20x8 and 20x9.5 I think is what Scott said. He's a member on the forum (ScottW).

Here is my 87 i am building now. Still gotta install my porterbuilt drop member to get het down some more!

Mikey23 · 03-19-2012, 10:35 PM

Here is my 81 i started building before the 87, money got tight and had to sell it before is finished it. I have built around 7 o 8 of these trucks since i was 15.

1965 Chuvy · 03-20-2012, 11:15 AM

I have a question, my 1980 started life as a long bed, but the frame was cut to fit a steel bed, but it wasn't cut short enough to be a short bed. where do I put it haha. Its a medium bed

Ill have a far away one but Ill have more once my son goes down for nap. And its not pretty to most people, its a work truck, used to be a diesel automatic but it now has or i was told it was a 327( i highly doubt its a 327) and a granny 4 spd. Here is my goal for the truck though. I want 4wd at least and the color on this truck was actually the original color of mine.

Cue-Ball · 03-20-2012, 06:08 PM

That's a great truck. Different from what most of us have (lowered 2WD fleetsides). It's the same color combo as that slammed '80 that was posted somewhere in this thread. I'd love to see your truck and his side by side.

1965 Chuvy · 03-20-2012, 11:41 PM

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH] I am actually kind of confused on the year. The vin plate is so rusty I cant read it properly. It has 80-81 headlight on top over marker lights, an 84ish grille for the 4 headlight trucks. ( I want to make the markers in the grille fog lights) and the side markers on the fenders suggest around an 81-84.

I think what makes that truk look so good are the vent window deletes, makes it real slick to match the full shave.

joe231 · 03-20-2012, 11:56 PM

1965 Chuvy,
I don't think it's an '80...
'80 was the last year of the round fenders, rounded dash, formed front frame horns(bumper bolt holes were built into the frame), and the hood covered the cowl and wipers.

Oh and it looks like it has van mirrors...
