Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
My Mom bought one of those brand new back in the day!!! Gave it to me but I couldn't back it back to Hickory in time to stop me dad from saling it to someone who fled the country shortly after! Truck showed up at a Garage place who contacted them and stated if they payed the storage fees they could have it back! The truck is still at this place, I think!!!

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?

20" cast wheels @ 29" diameter vs. 15" steel wheels @ 29" diameter should have very similar centrifical forces @ speed (similar weights & diameters).

Its the same with brakes. Going from a 10.75" rotor to a 12" rotor increases braking ability tremendously. The little changes make a big difference in performance. I like the looks of 20's. I just don't like the sacrifice that goes with them. Last edited by Tony_SS; 03-15-2010 at 10:52 AM. |

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
To qualify the $1000 purchase, I bought the majority of my parts from Classic Parts of America when they had their 10% off sale plus free shipping. However, I did reuse my A-arms, front coil springs, front sway bar, rear leaf springs. They are shown in the pic repainted and installed with the new bushings.

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
Here's an updated after pic with the new suspension and Magnaflow exhaust. Sorry but you can only see the Magnaflow tips.
I'm looking at installing a larger diameter front sway bar as well as a new rear sway bar. And maybe some rear traction bars (nice thing is that they will be hidden from view). I'll post some pics when they are done. But next up is installing the new OEM-ish black interior .... Current interior color is red/burgundy. Nothing wrong with the interior. In fact, the interior is near mint, with the exception of a little fading on the tops of both door panels. |

Stock wheels never go out of style...nice to see so many trucks with 'em....
Rarely do I like a truck with 20"+ wheels.... Here's my pile.....
