raull · 10-12-2011, 10:03 PM

gave the chassis a bath with plastikote bed liner spray, its nice , it gives it a slight semi gloss rough look but not a muddy undercoating feeling , love the end results after hard work

CC69Rat · 10-13-2011, 02:14 PM

285/35/22 on a stepper? I don't know man.. You leaving the stock fender wells, and/or mini tubs in the rear?

Hoping I'm wrong. Do you have the early rear end? 22x9 - 5"BS?

What are the height / width specs on the rear tires? You're probably going to need to loose the support braces at least and/ or trim the fender lip a bit.

Again, not meaning it negatively at all. I know a 265/40/22 - 5" BS with the early rear end requires trimming to fit. Assuming you're bagging the truck (?)

thanks for the info i can use all the help i can as i've never done an old chevy truck , i know for a fact i will have to modify or even delete the brace for the drop , as far as the lip , we measured and got the right back spacing it's 5. so i'll post how it turns out when they are on

CC69Rat · 10-13-2011, 07:24 PM

Ok, cool. Best of luck to you on the build! It's already looking awesome. Nice choice on the wheels too.
