I would say, lowered around 4-6 would really set your truck off even a 2-4 would look good

JohnC · 04-28-2009, 09:32 AM

Heck I wouldn't have a problem driving it just the way it is!

bumslie75 · 04-28-2009, 01:28 PM

JJ62607 what hubcaps and steelies you running on your truck? I like that plain no nonsense look.

the rims came with the truck when I got it I know they are 16's and the caps have a chevy logo in the middle the previous owner told me they were rallies but original rallies did not come in 16's so I think they are aftermarket

Thanks guys, it's a fun project. Once I figure out my smog dilema I'll be lowering it 4/6 or so and going thru the interior. The paint is ok, it was repainted by someone who wasnt detail oriented and it kinda shows. Now that I have this truck my dad wants to sell off his 54 Chevy pro street pickup project and get another square body.

Sounds good Smoke Dog! Where did you get the chrome center for your grille?

jj_62607: Welcome to the board. Nice truck you got. What are your plans for it?

pilzy1 · 04-29-2009, 09:40 AM

Thanks partner!!! Purchase new grill for the 86, I think!!! and pulled the white coating off of it, that's all! Got the guts from a 73 vette, headman shorties, and a little something from my builder who use to build NASCAR engine's for the top name guys from ALABAMA in the 60's-70's.

thanks JohnC my plans for the truck are to restore it with a little custom things here and there not to much though. Im still in the beggining stages of the truck but im serious about doing it right I ran the vin and found that it was originally a 454 the guy I got it from was a put gas in it and go type of person when i bought it it had no fluids what so ever im suprised the inline 6 is still kickin. the only issue I really have with the truck besides the inline is the radiator support and right side inner fender everything else is actually decent.

JohnC · 04-30-2009, 07:57 AM

That's really weird that it used to have a 454 in it, and they changed it to a 6cyl. Usually it's done in reverse.
