Thanks again to CLASSICCHEV for the deal on the rims and tires. Put these on this week and my new seats that I bought off of ebay.

EyeH8the24 · 07-08-2006, 04:11 PM

looks awsome ....what size wheels and tires ? those seats look almost factory in that classic cab !

raidermanny · 07-08-2006, 04:37 PM

Yeah the seats look like they fit right in. The only thing is they extend up into the back window quite a bit but I dont mind. The rims are 18x9.5 with 295/45's out back and 18x8 with 255/45 in the front.

mtndewmaniac66 · 07-08-2006, 06:38 PM

O.K. I'm jealous! That is a nice look!

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-08-2006, 06:53 PM

Looks good together

kingsolver72 · 07-08-2006, 07:41 PM

Pretty cool!

powell72 · 07-08-2006, 09:40 PM

Nice wheels, that truck would look good even without any wheels up on blocks. She's a sweet one.

bagged74 · 07-08-2006, 09:43 PM

it looks good.......but I think the wheels would look better if you swapped sides with them. But that just my $.02

raidermanny · 07-08-2006, 10:12 PM

I thought so too but the tires where already mounted and they are directional.

jescates · 07-08-2006, 10:13 PM

Nice setup

what did the seat come out of originally??

bagged74 · 07-08-2006, 10:14 PM

ah well maybe switch em later......they look killer though

They didnt come out of another vehicle. They make them to fit. Its basically 2 buckets and jump seat bolted to a year specific frame.

classicchev · 07-08-2006, 11:57 PM

Hey Manny, looks gooooood.. Going to lower the rear a little more???

I think it come to personal preference on which way to have the rims turn.
Looks good either way.

Who makes the seat?? Do they have a website??

Nice truck, looks really clean in white. I love white for some reason after working in a bodyshop since I was 16 yrs. young. Still looks good every time.

krue · 07-09-2006, 05:18 AM

The seats look great! I agree, what's the poop on them?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-09-2006, 06:20 AM

New shoes are always nice..

**special-K** · 07-09-2006, 08:57 AM

I like the "rake" and as far as the wheel direction,looks good either way.Theis way,some will like it better backin`up

.That`s a clean no bs`72.

Premium72 · 07-09-2006, 09:09 AM

its all about what ever blows your hat back.......anyone seen my hat?

raidermanny · 07-09-2006, 02:50 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is the place I got the seats from. Just pick the style you like and call them and tell them what you want them wrapped in and they will give you a price. www.discountvantruck.com

Gerwin · 07-10-2006, 02:45 PM

Niiiiiice!!

jimmydean · 07-10-2006, 09:50 PM

These are made by Smittybilt and go on ebay for about $500. I am thinking of going this route for my next set of seats.

raidermanny · 07-10-2006, 09:54 PM

I almost went that route but I wanted leather and didnt want to get 5 point belts.
