Nice job, need a set of spinners for those wheels..........

**nightmare** · 05-01-2003, 09:46 AM

that looks good. do you have any pics of how the bed is mounted to the frame?

**Yukon Jack** · 05-01-2003, 10:02 AM

That is definitely a one of a kind - that hood is pretty wild. Looks great!

mikej71 · 05-01-2003, 10:24 AM

Looks really good! Are those 275/60/15 on 15X10s all the way around? Can you post backspacing?

Thanks,

Mike

72ChevyCheyenne · 05-01-2003, 10:25 AM

Nightmare - I don't have any pics but I can tell you how i did it. On the front I used a 1 1/2" piece of square tubing and made holes to bolt to the frame mounts. Cut the holes in in the top of the tubing big enough for the bolt head to go through them tack weld the bolt head so it won't turn when tightening. Then I cut holes that would line up with the holes on the underside of the bed and ran bolts up into the threaded holes. In the back I used 5" anfle iron and made a bracket that bolts to the outside of the frame with the top of the bracket 1 1/2" above the top of the frame rail. The I cut holes in the bracket to line up with the holes in the back crossmember of the bed and ran bolts up into the threaded holes.

72ChevyCheyenne · 05-01-2003, 10:28 AM

mikej71 - They are 275/60 15 on 15x10s but i don't know what the backspacing is. I took it to the tire store and told the I wanted a set of American Racing 200S wheels for a 72 C10.

mikej71 · 05-01-2003, 10:30 AM

Thanks. I forgot to ask what drop you have on there?

72ChevyCheyenne · 05-01-2003, 10:42 AM

That is one beefy looking truck. Seriously, love it (and the license plate

) I like the fact you went sort of old school on the wheels, it brings out the toughness.

DUTCHMAN · 05-01-2003, 11:59 AM

I'M SPEACHLESS, what a nice truck.

Have fun driving it!!!!!

smokekiki · 05-01-2003, 12:06 PM
