Completed some work on my daily driver! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kcjones · 12-09-2008, 04:31 PM

Hey all, just thought I'd throw up some pics of my recent completed work - 4.5/6 drop, power discs, new 12 bolt with 3.42 posi, and cnotches. I have quite a few work in progress pics, but I need to go through them first. Here's just a before and after (after are cell phones pics, sorry):

Looks nice. Man, I wished we lived closer as I wouldn't mind having those old 8 lugs wheels and tires.

I liked it before, too, but I needed brakes, so I thought I'd give it a different look at the same time. I need the toolbox, too, or a cover (but just spent all my money). I think the paint is just medium gray metallic, but it has a touch of green in it... I'll have to do some research (PO put paint on it).

I wish I could sell them to you, hoping I can get rid of them quickly so I can buy Christmas presents for my wife before she kicks me out for spending so much time on the truck lately.

I love the color, wheels, and the altitude adjustment.

Thanks, guys! It's nothing compared to what I see here everyday, this site is a great deal of my motivation for the truck.

275/55/17 out back, 255/50/17 in front. Front looks a little goofy because the camber is still +6.5 degrees. Alighment shop was too wussy to try to adjust the arms because they aren't factory.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-09-2008, 08:09 PM

Looks really good

Chevymann1968 · 12-09-2008, 09:46 PM

I like the drop!!!

67arch · 12-09-2008, 09:59 PM

Looks very nice. I remember you getting photoshopped checking ride height and thought the color was sweet. You guys should see this truck ps'd with 20's

OARNGESI · 12-09-2008, 10:50 PM

Looks good do you got a good side view

VA72C10 · 12-09-2008, 10:54 PM

Found the photoshop...looks pretty good!

67arch · 12-09-2008, 11:04 PM

I think you should put it on air, get a set of 20's, keep all your other wheels and tires, then just air it up put on the 1st set of wheels = cool. then drop it a little the next week, put on rallies = sweet, then lay it out put on 20's the week after= damn.

R.L. · 12-10-2008, 01:16 AM

Thats a clean looking truck, love the color.
