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

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!

*Stitch* · 09-06-2010, 09:55 PM

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

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!

glock35ipsc · 09-07-2010, 11:08 AM

With the way you have the jack stands under the truck, mainly being placed at the far ends of the frame, watch your door-to-fenders gaps when you set it back on the ground. With the jack stands in those positions the body and frame will actually droop in the middle a little, so when you bring it back down to earth, the upper gaps will open up slightly and the lower gaps will tighten up. Ask me how I know.....

That being said, I think a black square with rallys is one of my most favorite looks on one of these trucks!

STOCKISH · 09-07-2010, 11:50 AM

Didnt think about that. I will move the jackstands under the axle tubes and front suspension and see if it changes enough. That is a sharp looking truck too. I like that alot.

**nlped** · 09-07-2010, 11:57 AM

Your truck is really gonna look great when complete!

I agree that is one of my favorite shots!

STOCKISH · 09-07-2010, 10:01 PM

Got the rallys stripped and ready to be primed and painted. Also ordered my trans cooler so i can finally hook up the cooler lines. Need to quit playing around and finish this dern wiring so I can crank this beast!

Will be out of town this weekend so maybe it'll run and drive weekend after next!

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...
