I am in love with the stance of this truck:

Love can be a dangerous (and wonderful and expensive) thing...

I love the stance of this truck too!

I looked it over closely at GG in Fort Worth. Very very nice! Everything is so clean too.

Is this the stance that your truck will have? Do you know suspension & tire/wheel details on this truck?

C10_ustacould · 10-02-2016, 09:39 PM

That truck is Bad A$$, any info on it?

Check out @terry_14_rose on IG. Pretty sure it debuted at Columbus GG and has been making the rounds. Built by strangemotion in TN.

WOW!!! Just read this entire thread. Amazing job on this truck. Hopefully I can build one almost like it when I find one!!

**lolife99** · 10-06-2016, 06:11 PM

Follow @tre5customs on Instagram. He's building a 67-72 Porterbuilt coil over truck for a customer. He's pretty good about posting lots of pics.

It's a goal--we'll see where I land. I can go about an inch lower than where I am currently front and rear without too much effort. After that, you start getting into hood hinges and step notches. That's not to say it won't happen, but I'm not planning on going crazy (just yet). I'd like to tuck all of the tire, just to the top of the rim and visually center the wheels in the arches--like the pshop below:

He's on 20x12 and 19x9, Scotts front, unsure rear, unsure on tires. I'm sticking with my 295/40/20 and 255/40/20 for the foreseeable future.

I like the stance of your truck and this one. They're low but you can drive them almost anywhere.

Especially with the extra ground clearance provided by the DM! Hopefully I can get it to sit how I want...

Yeah, one year I hope to get started on my Blazer. I'll be using the "vintage" C4 dropmember that I have with air. I hope it will handle as well as coilovers. It uses Shockwaves in the front which may help that.

Orange67 · 10-08-2016, 06:31 AM

Hey gringo, by AFB are you referring to HAFB?

10 minutes West. The wife works up there. I would love to see this truck Sometime. If you ever need a hand with anything, give me a yell.

gringoloco · 10-08-2016, 05:15 PM

Went on a quick parts store run, stumbled upon a car show with a swap meet. Kindigit was there with a sweet caddy. Browsing the parts aisles, a high hump caught my eye--he said make an offer, I gave him all the cash in my wallet.... $11!

gringoloco · 10-08-2016, 09:24 PM

...and while the welder is out working on the Blazer:

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!! I'm trying to keep mine low buck... I need to find some $11 parts!

Bennett68C10 · 10-10-2016, 08:46 AM

Nice score on the high hump, I paid around $100.00 for mine and I thought that was pretty good compared to the current going rates I'm seeing, but $11 is crazy

aggie91 · 10-10-2016, 11:01 AM

What a deal on the hump. Even if you don't need it, you could sell it to someone else at a good price and make money...
