I had the 3/6 on my old 64 chevy swb when I had it.

actually, you can cup the lower a-arms and that will get you down to a 5 or 6" drop in the front....

Hotrod Farm Truck; are those rear 9" wheels stock or did you have them made?

Love the look but wondering if the 9" wheel will rub on my step side?!?! or if I should just go 8". I have 10" smoothie wheels on the rear now and they stick out to far. (in my opinion) planning on a 4"x6" drop or something close, don't want to cut anything, and would still like to pull the boat once in a while.... (might have to bag the rear for that!) ramble on, ramble on!! lol

Slow poke; The rear wheels were made by stockton wheel.They did rub on the inside of the tub when the axle got off center like when crossing a ditch at an angle. To solve this problem I did extend the inside of the tubs 1.5 inch.

Thanks! IIRC it was 45%. I told the tint guy I wanted something that I wouldn't get hassled for in nearby states. It really helps keep the cab cool.

When switching to disc brakes in the front, are my rims going to fit?

Not much of a drop yet. Only a 2" coil drop. Air ride is still a bit down the road. Stock steel on 235/75.

LEX · 11-08-2012, 10:16 AM

^ I LOVE IT

It's perfect the way it is. Bagging would be icing on the cake.

Thanks. I like the look of this old Sub. I did have some later 6 lug rallys on it. Not a bad look but it would rub a bit out back.

stexag · 11-08-2012, 12:09 PM

This thread and others like it have me rethinking my intentions. I had been on the 20's plan.... but those steelies and fat tires....... look good.

69moneypit · 11-08-2012, 04:48 PM

I love this thread , I had already thought about steel wheels and caps after selling my Boss 338

Not mine, but in my neighborhood. I want Bassett or Aero D-Hole wheels but every time I see this one I want to keep my wheels.

Chvy2NV · 11-10-2012, 01:50 AM

Here's another. Could someone tell me what stock wheels I'm running.

Posted via Mobile Device

VA72C10 · 11-10-2012, 02:23 AM

Nice pic! Looks like corvette rallys with deep trim rings and of course the center caps.

stexag · 11-10-2012, 06:12 PM

Chvy2...

What size tires are those?? And do you know the wheel widths? I agree w/ Corvette Rally's

SLOW POKE · 11-13-2012, 07:16 PM

Thanks hotrod farm truck!! Does anybody know of a way to run stock wheels with disk brakes?

I assume you mean 6-lug wheels?
Get 71-87 4x4 wheels.
They will work with disc brakes.

70blackfish · 11-13-2012, 08:01 PM

I have 69 8 inch wide rally wheels.

Cool truck. The stance is perfect.

SLOW POKE · 11-14-2012, 06:36 PM

Yeah, I want to stay 6 lug but I would like to stay with the stock 6" wheel with disks on the front if at all possible.... I know there are issues with the caliper hitting... might just stay with drums untill my boys get old enough to work on it with me....

SLOW POKE · 12-04-2012, 04:32 AM

bump for more pics....

aussiec20 · 12-04-2012, 07:44 AM

And C20 too.....

jjzepplin · 12-04-2012, 08:56 AM

So you can run stock steels with front disc brakes? I think mine are 6.5" Will they work? My discs are 1973 heavy duty 1.25"...
