Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
1.3GB video walkaround coming soon. I'll post the YT link asap.
Dad took the truck over to a local park yesterday. He said three people and a Park Ranger stopped to look at it while he was taking the pictures. ![]()

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
This truck really turned out nice, it's interesting how your plan evolved. I am doing a little wheel research and this thread is great for that! I'd guess that you gained a few gray hairs over the wheels on this truck!LOL it really looks great! Congrats!
One question, can you tell me if the wheels on this truck would fit on a '68 stepside w/4.5/7 drop using the same sizes and backspace? Posted via Mobile Device

![]() Wheels are a huge step. If you're thinking Billets, .. you have to get it perfect the first time. No question about it. $4500-$5000 for wheels and tires I'd be sick if I messed it up. 68 stepside question - As you know, I had a step bed on my 68 at one point and had ordered billets for it too. I just didn't quite like the way the wheels fit the truck to be honest. Nothing against the wheels but I just like a fleet bed. Nothing wrong with a stepper, .. no way .. but you can just get more tire under a fleet bed. Not assuming you don't know but the 67-68 trucks had a little more narrow rear end housing than the later years. I'm thinking your truck will have the more narrow rear end. My 68 BB does too so I'm going to give you my measurements off my stepper. I used: 20x8.5" wheels all the way around. the fronts had 5.5" backspacing, the rears had 4.75" backspacing. Honestly it was really tight on this truck to make the tires and wheels 'tuck' under the fenders. I had a 255/45 on the rear, and 255/40 on the front. If I had it to do over I would have used 5 3/8 BS up front and the same in the rear. I can tell you if you want to do 22 in the back. The setup Keith had on Stella Mae was incredible. 20x8.5 with 5.25" BS 255/40/20 22x9 with 5" BS 265/40/22 Early housing.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Thanks for the informative response. I really want a wider tire under mine. It looks like a mini tub is in order...I kinda already thought that would be required. Thanks!
BTW, at 43 I've got plenty of gray too. I figure I'd prefer that to bald spots!LOL Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
![]() ![]() Well .. It looks like the ole GMC is going to Texas. .. More to come soon. Not 100% done just yet but we have agreed on a price. I will say it's a forum member so at least she's staying in the family! This one's gonna hurt guys. I don't usually get attached to them but man this truck is one of the best Pop and I have ever done. It really turned out nice. I'd like to thank Mr. Nate Porter for all his help. People are SHOCKED everywhere I go with the craftsmanship, welding, geometry, I could go on. .. My 68 will be dripping with PB stuff. NO DOUBT. Thank you brother. Once it's done, I'll let the new owner post as he wishes. But, it looks like it's a done deal.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
I have to admit this kind of hurts my feelings as well so I can't imagine what you must be going through. After reading through all the pages of your build thread I somehow got attached to it also. lol However on another note it hopefully will alow you to build your 68 exactly the way you want it to be. You and your pop have serious skills!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Congrats Chad! Wonder if I'll see it around.
Btw... I'd still like to see that 1.3GB video you mentioned. Not nearly enough HQ video documentation of these beautiful trucks. |

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Congrats on the sale. Since I'm in Texas, maybe I will get to see it sometime. Hope the new owner posts up when the sale is finalized.
You and your Dad did a great job on this one. Just take lots of pictures before she leaves....

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Here's the video.
I'm 99% sure the truck is sold, just thought you guys might like to see the finished product top to bottom. When Pop starts it up, there's a slight ticking sound. I have never heard it before, kinda sounds like a lifter but it's not there in person. It would have bothered me too much. ![]() Also, the brake rotors are Corvette, but not Z06. He meant to say Grand Sport. Same part number as the 96 GS LT4 cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvzOy...ature=youtu.be

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Hey, I made the video, but I am no Stephen Spielberg!
![]() I didn't know I was so shaky... dang it's rough getting old. I don't know what was up with the sound either. The truck sounds MUCH better in person. Maybe I had the volume turned up too high on my camera? The under hood noise is coming from an A/C compressor that is low on Freon. I forgot the A/C was turned on. We were looking for some R-12 to charge it up, just never have. Guys, this has been a fun build, and turned out to be a super cool truck. I hear a '68 Big Block SWB Bowtie calling our name on the other side of the garage. Wish us luck. POP

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
