That grill looks really good, is it new? Nice work on the core support too.

Oh yea, cool pics of your kid helping you out. Wish I would have started mine wrenching a lot younger, maybe he
would like it more?

*Stitch* · 09-06-2010, 08:38 PM

I think the grille is the one I traded him for his 91 burb clip

cool,
you guys did some serious trading i guess

*Stitch* · 09-06-2010, 09:39 PM

front end for front end...and Coys for the crew...and I threw in the rallys...I don't need them now anyhow...

STOCKISH · 09-06-2010, 09:52 PM

Yeah, and now the Silverado needs some bling!

I can see a new avatar coming soon too. Throw the rallies on there let's see what it looks like. Should be super cool anyway.

JohnC · 09-07-2010, 10:27 AM

Grill looks good man, but the up in the air look needs to be addressed.

STOCKISH · 09-07-2010, 10:54 AM

Yeah, I've been tossing around the idea of lowering it a bit myself!

*Stitch* · 09-06-2010, 09:55 PM

LOL...you can't have them back...

menace121978 · 09-07-2010, 10:11 PM

!!!!!

i cant wait for that 1st fire up!!

breeze85cten · 09-07-2010, 10:17 PM

Are you going to get rid of your 22s and go old school? I have the black rallys on my bagged c10. Love em. And it makes for a smoother ride.

*Stitch* · 09-07-2010, 10:19 PM

Breeze, I have his 20" Coys already...the rallys he's talking about stripping are the ones he got from me...he doesn't have 22s

breeze85cten · 09-07-2010, 10:24 PM

Gotcha, I thought they were 22s, love those coys but also love the rally wheels especially when they are tucking like mt truck.

STOCKISH · 09-07-2010, 10:39 PM

Whew, mine definately wont be that low. I stripped the rallys today and will prime and paint them sometime this week. Then I need to order tires. Thinking of running 295/50r15 in the rear and 255/60r15 in the front. I need to find pics of 295s on a 8 inch wide rally though. I will use these through the winter while I am building my CCSB and then order some big inch billet wheels for the black shorty!

Jonboy · 09-08-2010, 08:51 AM

I think the 295/50 is too wide for an 8" wheel. It just doesn't look right to me. Find a set of van 6.5" rally's for the front, and run a 215/70 or 225/70 on them, and a 255/70 for the rear. It has a nice look to it, and tucks up nice with the drop you have.

Definately dont want skinny rallys on the front and I think the 225/70 has too much sidewall and not enough width for my taste. Just my opinion though.

baclay9 · 09-08-2010, 10:40 AM

What about running a 275/60 on the back. I have never run them on 8" wheels but I know alot of guys do. I always ran them on 10's.

68GMCCustom · 09-08-2010, 10:53 AM

Thats what I have on mine but plan to go wider. My old 383 could spin the BFG 275/60's from a 5-10mph roll...and from a stop was way too easy. With more power I'll be needing more tread on the road. I'm thinking 315's on a 10" truck rally.

STOCKISH · 09-09-2010, 10:21 PM

I got the headlights, wiring and grill reinstalled. Glad to have the stock front back on and complete. Man is this thing ever going to be done? One small step at a time I guess.

STOCKISH · 09-09-2010, 10:24 PM

Oops, forgot the pics...

*Stitch* · 09-09-2010, 10:49 PM

Looks good Josh

Josh, I am not too sure about the clip yet. But I have a feeling I will love it once we get to see the "whole picture". Keep at it man!

v502 · 09-10-2010, 06:22 AM

I got 295/50/15 on 8 wide rim up front. Thought this my give you an idea they kind of rub only on big bumps but rolling the fenders might solve the issue although i haven't done it.

JohnC · 09-10-2010, 09:35 AM

It's coming along nicely man! Keep at it!
