Outstanding Effort. Simply Buuuuteeefull.

smbrouss70 · 03-20-2007, 10:40 AM

I don't know how I've missed this BEATUIFUL truck for the past 2 days! What are the specs are the front wheels? Wheel and tire size, with backspacing?

Zumo · 03-20-2007, 10:51 AM

I second that.

Sweet! Keep that camera clickin' man, the more pics the merrier this bunch will be!

Beautiful truck! Now here's a guy that pays attention to detail. Did you install a hidden gas filler? Did you paint/POR/powdercoat the frame? Wheel/Tire size with backspacing is possible.

You should be very proud of your accomplishment, because you have one beautiful truck!

71chevylowrider · 03-20-2007, 01:14 PM

I couldn't get your truck out of my mind, I had to go buy one like it.

edmonton72 · 03-20-2007, 01:29 PM

That truck is looking really nice. Thats how I want my truck to look like in the future. Whats the weather like in kelowna right now, it's freezing over here in edmonton, almost to cold to work on the truck. Maybe i'll see your truck when i'm down in kelowna this summer.

Am I reading this correctly, did you say you chopped the rear axle, or is it still stock?

Thanks for sharing - that is one hell of a truck!

chevy_632 · 03-20-2007, 03:29 PM

yes. it has a narrowed ford 9 inch in the rear 373 gears with a locker unit and duchman axles.those wheels will NOT fit the stock rearend.atleast not with that backspacing i should say. hope that helps ya..rob

shifty · 03-20-2007, 04:07 PM

Damn,

Everyone using narrowed rear ends. It's one of the only thing I don't feel comfortable doing and don't know anyone I'd trust to help.
