GREAT looking truck..... I like how simple a good look can be.

The color.... it reminds me of my old '70 GTO color.

Oh! I love those wheels too!

Any idea what the specs are (width, offset and tire size)? I am working on my father in-laws ’93 C1500 Sportside giving it a monochromatic makeover with bumper covers, painted grill, mirrors, slight drop….you now the usual sport truck treatment. But, we need wheels! I dig the appearance and fitment of this Coys! Thx

I don't, the tires look like a 275/45/20, this truck used to be a member on fullsizechevy(if I remember correctly) but it looked totally different, he was going for a rat rod look and sold it, then somebody pointed it out to him that was his old truck or something, regardless hoping my truck looks like that one day except fleet side.

btw here's coys website with there width and offsets

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

If you do get Coys, I'd like to see how they look on your truck. I got a blue step side and want to see how they look on a blue truck.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Put 2 inch blocks in the back end.
Should have put new u-bolts in BEFORE I ever put a lift in the back; the bolts rusted in half, I put an impact gun on the first nut, and it rusted in half.


Total tire clearance: 7.5 inches on the back from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender. Front: 5 inches on the passenger side and 4.5 on the driver side. When the front end was dropped, they did it wrong, so one side is lower by half an inch.

I might take pics of the u-bolts and how bad they were rusted.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Scary thought: This was holding my rear end:




All four u-bolts looked like this.

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Dub X....

I call it a good day......... You found it & repaired it before it failed!

"No news to report"...... Just a repair.

I can imagine..... You take a slide to the left, the U bolts fail & your axle falls half off. Your back end slips down the 6' embankment. The cab lays on the muddy water... passenger side. Your buddy raises the beer can up by the rear view mirror to keep the brown water from getting into the Miller Lite.

But, I prefer the "No news".....

Yeah lol. From, the looks of things, it's been like that for years, so i needed new u-bolts regardless of the fact that I was lifting the rear end.

(3/4 ton)... That explains it.... Same for me. My Stockland Shell lowered it an inch.... Hauling about 450lbs. sets it at a nice level.

Which is what our trucks are designed for.

Loving the shine in the 2nd pic. Gorgeous truck. That's close to the color I want my '92 Shortwide when I get it re-painted.
