So what's the speed rating and tread depth on those?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and Canadian...try not to hold that against me. I thought I'd try to post a picture of my 81 big block.
Cheers

Nice truck nuke, I like flames, if you can tell from my truck I like flames

Nukes16 · 12-30-2008, 01:17 AM

All right I'll try to post a couple of more pics.
Smokedog, I believe you a right, as far as a I can remember those are Stealth rims 20x8.5. They are a couple of years old now so I had a difficult time finding one more for a spare, but I did in the end. Hopefully one day there will be rear discs shining through!

Tony_SS · 12-31-2008, 07:14 PM

Not mine - but check this one out!

thump16 · 12-31-2008, 11:35 PM

That truck is on LS1tech.com. The owner installed a LS1 set up and it came out sweet.

Great post. Here are some shots of my '87.

thump16 · 01-01-2009, 08:13 PM

Your truck looks good. Really clean.

SWEET! Can you give us the tire size and drop method and amount? That's exactly what I"m shooting for.

dgrayphotos · 01-05-2009, 11:07 PM

Tony SS and BruthaMan,
Sorry for the delay in responding. This truck belonged to my dad and he passed away a little over a year ago, so I had to do a little digging before posting an answer. Looks like they cut 1 coil off the front springs and removed all but 2 leafs in the rear. The tires are 255/70/15's. Hope this helps guys!
He always had a black GM truck from the time I was able to remember. This was his last and I'm honored to sport it around in his memory.

Here is a pic of an 86 K10 I am trying to get bought.

watahyahknow · 01-01-2009, 08:17 PM

verry straight too , importand when you paint a truck gloss black

Smoke_Dog · 01-02-2009, 08:02 AM

CHLSNK!
To each it's own, I believe in that also! But on the other hand go original!!!

heavychevy79 · 01-04-2009, 04:40 AM

I found some more pics on one of these CDs I have laying around.
BTW I didn't do the crappy wal-mart primer paint job.

I traded this one for a 98 Blazer which still needs more work than I want to
do, but at least it moves under it's own power lol.

I'm hoping to see this truck back here in the forum with Cummins power,
that's what he told me anyway. I told him to post pics here for sure.

Sorry, it wasn't driveable so pics got taken on unlevel ground.

And FYI it's sporting the 3" drop spindles off of my black truck.

BruthaMan · 01-06-2009, 12:08 AM

dgray, thanks bud, I appreciate the information! It's a very sweet looking truck and I can only imagine the sentimental value it has. Sorry to hear about your father. I'm sure he would be proud to know the time and care you are putting into his baby. That black paint will look like glass, with some Zaino polish on it.

motley_65 · 01-08-2009, 11:47 PM

Always liked this post...here are a few of mine. Next on list is a set of flowmasters and a 3/5 drop.

Wow motley im diggin the color combo you have on your truck nicely done

idrgbdy · 01-13-2009, 02:52 PM

finally got some pics of the '77 i picked up a few weeks ago. got it off ebay for $2500, seems like a decent price. got some things to fix on it, but i drove it 250 miles back to ohio from kentucky. the future for this one is front/rear dropmembers, 20's, some motor add ons, and some interior. just wanna keep the interior simple and the exterior mostly stock.

and the first thing i did was take off the dana loves eric vanity plate as well as removing the dumb stickers and the hideous dash material. lol over the weekend i replaced the radiator and changed the oil. tomorrow night i'll be replacing the plugs, wires, button, and blower resistor. saturday i'll be throwing some newer tires on there. then this will mostly be my daily. but i'm lookin at gettin this '62 panel truck with a straight six for the daily

no it was just this thin material with skulls and glitter all over it.

the dash pad is pretty cracked and has adhesive all over the top. i think i'm just gonna order a new dash pad from Brothers. they got a sale goin on now.

Might want to hold out and spend the coin on a GM dash pad, not an aftermarket one. NOTHING fits and looks as nice as a GM pad, ask anyone here who has replaced theirs with an aftermerket...including me.
