DetroitDan,

The tires are stock 235/85/r16. It's a 2.5" lift with new leafs up front and blocks in the back. I would of thought that it would need bigger tires with the lift, but they fill up the wheel well ok in my opinion. I wouldn't mind wider tires when these wear out (it will be a while though as they are nearly). I pull a 5th wheel and do not want a tall truck for towing. This seems to be a good compromise.

I was talking to a guy on craigslist about som ec10 parts he had for sale and he sent me a picture of a truck he had built, its a pro street crew cab and looks pretty cool. I told him about this site also.

Greg, thanks so much. I am planning on going with 235/85s, but I was worried that they wouldn't look big enough. I've got a 4 inch lift to put in, so I'm thinking I'm going to be happy with how it looks. Your truck looks bigger than 2.5 inch and 235/85s, to be honest with you. Right now mines all stock with 215/85s and it looks really low. The stock front springs have a reversed arch to them, so I expect the 4 inch to pick it up a lot.

So that's how it's done. Do you just take the wheels to a machine shop and they drill the hole and it bolts right on? Or is there more to it than that?

scotts62 · 03-27-2010, 10:03 AM

panelguy · 01-12-2010, 12:33 AM

I'll have to take some more Joe.
Its a 78 3/4 ton crew cab with 77 dually rear end, 22's air ride, 350 4spd standard, and 89 suburban front end. Loooooooooooong way to go and a short time to get there!

joe231 · 01-12-2010, 12:48 AM

More pics from today. Very little progress has been made. The reason they are all out in the snow is due to garage reconstruction (new rafters...which leads to a new furnace which leads to new insulation which leads to new paneling inside which leads to new paint...etc)

Nice Blazer! Cant wait to see more progress on the Dually! Love the ten bolt conversion, what are you using for a crossmember/control arms to tuck those huge rims?? Or did you just eliminate the front wheel spacers??

Thanks! I cant wait for more progress too ha ha!!! The dually is a single wheel 3/4 ton so it actually tucks the front tires in toooooo far. So I have to get custom control arms built. From what I understand Porterbuilt street rods can make them or maybe suicide doors. I need a little more drop too. The way it sits now is completely airred out and the control arms have about a 2" dropped cup in them....and its still not low enough.
