Hey Eric,
Who's truck is that in the picture? The 4x4 one?
That's a different color than the one that's in your garage....



Here's the link for Nathan's Dropmember, just so you have it handy.

wow what is wrong with me i can believe i missed the pics of the truck with wheels ,mounted looks b@d@$$!

[67cheby]

thanks for the info Jim and thanks everyone else for the compliments

[VA72C10]

very nice! Some classic bling

[67cheby]

dont know if it will mix well with the Budniks or NOT?? guess we will see

[VA72C10]

I am into super smooth but those are slick and play on the trucks' history so I think they'll flow great. If you got painted...maybe not....but with the chrome on a chrome bumper....they'll set it off nicely....


...and if you don't like them I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them because they look AWESOME!!!

[67cheby]

thanks, and yes they are BEAUTIFUL, triple chrome plated !!

[superflysteiny]

I would buy spacers from billetspecialties or find some one with a name you can trust. billetspecialties wheels are made in the usa. Alot of there other products are not like there valve coves and things like that but there wheels are so I would look at there spacers. Just my 2cents. Wheels look sick and it did not cost 5500 so you are doing good.

[67cheby]

thanks i appreciate it !! and yes i am just a poor carsalesman in a bad car selling economy so for me to get billet wheels this is the only way, maybe next year i can send the back to off and get them rehooped with an extra 2 inches of offset Budnik said about $700 to rehoop the pair

I think the bumper guards will look good! I saw some the other day for sale and almost bought them. I like them!

But what do they look like on???????

Mike, where's the pics? I don't care if you don't have bumpers on your truck or that your bed is just sitting on wooden blocks.......show me the pics.

The bumper gaurds look pretty cool. Do you have to drill into the bumper to install them? I only ask because it'd be nice to be able to pull them off/put them on when you feel like it.

[67cheby]

the guy i bought them from says that the bottom hole of the bumper to frame hole gets taken out and you replace it with a bolt from the backside of the bumper into the bottom bolt hole on the guard, you leave the upper bumper bolt in and there is a little bracket that loops over the top of the bumper . however in the pic i posted of the other truck with them on they arent covering the factory bumper holes so i am not sure completely , my bumper is in my attic and i havent gotten it down to look yet

[superflysteiny]

I think the ones on the blue truck are mounted to fare out. I could be wrong but I dond recall them being out there that fare.

[67cheby]

i think they would look better where the factory bolts are , especially if that is the way they are supposed to be mounted

You can see the gap at the bottom where the curve of the bumper doesn't match the guards where the blue truck has them located.

They were meant to go over the top of the central bumper mount bolts like you were told. I had a 68 that had them stock and that is where they were.

Wheels look killer with that stance.

[67cheby]

thanks i appreciate it... i was pretty excited myself last night when i finally got to air it out with the wheels on !!

[watahyahknow]

its allmost a shame to trow paint over that body , maibe you could paint it almost natural aluminium look

[67cheby]

at the rate my money is dissapearing ....it's probably not going to get paint !! i had borrowed enough money to finish the truck....or so i thought, well i now need more money !! what to do, what to do

[xpickup]

67cheby, your truck looks killer with the wheels and stance.

maibe you could find someone in an army motorpool who can get his hands on either army green or that dessert storm tan colour its not awesome but it realy good paint (high millitairy standard and all that )i worked with it and you better wear a respirator or you see pink elephants and spotted hippo's for some time after
