Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Wish I could find another one like that! I'm considering selling my S10 and buying a mild 350/700R to drive every day.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?



This is my current project. I've been lurking around te site for a while and figured this is the best place to post a pic of my heap. I'm thinking about white walls, painted rims, lowered stance and drive. It came with 2 parts trucks and a ton of extra parts. If anyone needs any body parts shot me a pm and maybe we can work something out. Thanks for the inspiration fellas.

Welcome to the board.
I see that this is your first post.

Just wanted to let you know that selling part via "PM sales" is against the rules here.
You also need to be a subscribing member to sell.
(you agreed to all these rules when you registered here)

Look here to subscribe:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...t.php?f=8&a=17

This is a great place to BUY and SELL parts.
I've found a ton of rare truck items and met a great bunch of people here.
Not a bunch of scammers or flakes,... like on Craigslist.

Again,... welcome!

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

I guess I should have read the rules when I signed up. I was just trying to help out fellow members who might need some parts since I'm not going to use them. I'll be a subscribed member soon. Thanks for the info.

What's the cheapest and easiest way to lower these trucks. I know you can put jeep springs under a 60-66. I was wondering if there was a similar way doing these.

The most economical way to lower your truck isn't always the best way. You can put Jeep springs or certain GM car coils as well. Unfortunately these springs are to soft a rate and will kill your ability to carry any load as well as give a bouncy ride. Your better off with 1.5" lowering blocks and stock springs, or save a few bucks up and buy lowering springs.

Up front I prefer to use drop spindles with cut coils. You can cut one full coil to net about 2" of drop. Just be sure to keep the heat to a minimum when cutting the spring
