This is mine in the pic, the tires are:

255/60/15 Fronts
275/60/15 Rear

But I switched to 255/60/15 all around to get rid of rake.

BTW it's lowered 5.5/7

SBTork · 06-11-2008, 12:18 AM

^^looks just right

PhilaTruck · 06-11-2008, 12:19 AM

I love that look.

hotrodhomi · 06-11-2008, 12:24 AM

275/60/15 rear
245/60/15 front
Bagged

EN*PN78 · 06-12-2008, 02:53 AM

boom

My wheels are powder coated black with a heavy flake hard to tell. I used bullet caps instead of the oem caps.
notice in the picture it was not raining or cold.

Mr79C10 · 06-12-2008, 05:22 AM

jdurant · 06-12-2008, 08:40 AM

EN*PN78,
do you have any better pics, so I can see that center cap?

I like this truck, and since somebody included an older truck.

Here's member "agent orange" truck...

SCOTI · 06-14-2008, 08:22 PM

5/7-ish
15x6.5" van ralleys w/215-70's
15x8.0" truck ralleys w/255-70's

killthewabbit · 06-14-2008, 11:42 PM

Wow, that last van rally/truck rally combo looks great. Nailed the tires, too.

Can you tell me how the truck was lowered?

3" Bell Tech spindles
1 coil cut from stock sbc springs
Gabriel replacement HD gas shocks w/relocated upper mount

6" Western Chassis flip kit (8-leaf HD spring option = full 6" drop)
WC shock extension brackets
Bell Tech shackles
Gabriel replacement HD gas shocks (for 73-87 4x4 front)
WC bolt-in C-notch kit w/owner fabbed air bag plates for homemade AOL set-up.

The wheels & tires were on my 68 Beater & recently were just sitting around taking up precious space.... I like the 18/20 combo that's been on the 74 since '03, but the 'old-school' look still works & it was time for a change.

killthewabbit · 06-15-2008, 10:19 AM

I like the 18/20 combo also. This is actually one of the first times I've seen staggered rallys and really liked it. I like how it erases that whole rear-end-is-too-narrow thing that our trucks have going on from the factory.

Is your rear bagged? How do you like it? I was thinking about one of those air over leaf setups like Ken has. I didn't realize anyone else had a setup like that.

My AOL is more like Kevins than Kens ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=366; http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=368).

I had some extra bags that were brand new just sitting on my shelf that weren't used for another project & didn't want to spend >$300 for an ART set-up. I took some measurements & found they were close in size for the height requirements. I PM'd Kevin & he had experienced good results w/his set-up (no increased stiffness) so I decided to give it a try.

I fabbed the top bag plates out of .250 plate & welded them to the bolt-in c-sections. Once everything was bolted in, I stitched 1" beads on the outer edges of the c-section for added piece of mind. The bags are only bolted from the top & float on the bottom (using the original leaf spring pad on top of the axle housing to 'sit' on). I put allen head bolts in the bottom of the bag to center it within the leaf spring pad & keep them deflated (<5psi) when not in use. When I need the extra capacity, I verify the bag is centered on the pad & air them up (I have schraders mounted in some pre-existing holes near the tubs in the bed).

Cheap but effective.....

What lowering kit did you use? Looks killer!

That's a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration.
