Re: Project: Blank Slate
That's easy, stock steels and caps. Or the 20's, or the rallys.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate, put the 15x6's on the front with a taller tire and find some six lug 15x8 steelies for the back, and use the factory dog dish caps.
But I'm open minded, check out the "Kidney Bean 6" under wheels here - http://www.halibrand.com/index_frames.htm

They do look good, don't they? You should see the price on them! Ouch! I only posted them up since I was spending your money, not mine. ![]() Seriously though, the rally's look great too, and even if you decide to just stick with them the truck still looks awesome.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
20's usually depend on the wheel choice & sizes. If you won't tell us what wheel, I can't vote ney or yeh. If you can find the 15x7" ralleys for the front, the 7/8" ralley combo would work better than the dog-dish caps on that truck IMO. For some reason the caps 'seem' larger in the pics (or maybe I'm going

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Who would have thought that wheel selection could become such a personal decision. In the old days you had cragars, chrome reverse, baby moons, and a few more styles. And you had a choice of 14 or 15in size.
Now, it's just mind boggling with all the choices. I LOVE my cheap rallys. They may not look as hot as $3000 set of rims, but I saved 2500 dollars, and have a look that is all GM. Rallys are going to be around forever, and will look great forever. Bling styles and taste change to fast to justify spending money that will not be stylin next year. Remember the 90's with all the billet this and that. Sorry folks, but I look at those types of rims and want to puke. Where are all those rims now? Out of style. Where are the rallys? On our trucks. ![]() |

TTll's, Vintecs, and a very small handful of others. I can't think of any but the two I mentioned. Again, jmo. But rallys. They're cool because you can paint them what you like, add/delete trim, center cap choices etc. I think your truck would look great with a white rally rim, and back paint the slots turquoise(what ever color it's called), 1.5in trim rings, and whatever center cap you like. Oh yea! Classic subtle look with a hotrod flair. ![]() |

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate If you remember I was driving my wife crazy about what wheels to buy at the end she bought me the wheels I have....
It was such a hard descision for me mainly what style but at the end the wheels I got I am super happy with and I am also happier that I did not spend the 5k that I was about to spend in wheels for this bucket..

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Consider me subscribed!! Props to Keith and all that helped you out here. This well be a great place to reference when I start on my 3/5" with shock relocaters and super track bar. Well you sir did basically what I'm gonna do. Brakes, track bar, ect, ect. Only difference is I'm not going as low. I guess you can say I'm not as low as you are. (Well, after I read it out loud that wasn't as funny as it sounded in my head.) Anyway, the truck looks GREAT.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Thanks stealthy '69! Good luck with the install, it will definitely be worth it. Just know that once you get to 3/5... you will want to go lower.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
It funny you should say that, I think Keith said the same thing. I do drive it every day, and over some tough roads, but I think you might be right. Maybe I should wait to install the spring till I pick up the disk setup and get the lowering spindles to go 5.5" in front, may be that's too much though.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
4.5"/6" drop is a good streetable drop.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I agree with Keith... I wouldn't go any lower for a DD.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Good point I think I'll stick with the 3/5 for now, or get 2" front springs and 2.5" spindles. OH, now I don't know what to do. but I'll stop Jacking your thread.LOL

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I don't think I wrote my last post above very well... what I meant to say was that a 4.5/6 would be as low as I would go for a DD. This thing rides beautifully! I was truly surprised.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Yea but I think 5.5" in the front may be too low. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with what I got and see how it turns out with a 5.5"/5" drop.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate, have you priced what Stockton wheel may be able to do to get you some 7in rims? I'm sure the thought has crossed your mind.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate, make your mind up on the rims? we currently have 2.5" ece drop spindles and 4" ece dropped spring/shock relocators etc, after my Son saw your truck, he wants to go lower now...... told him we could do this after everything is back together.
