67_C-30 · 08-19-2007, 04:58 PM

Love the Tork Thrusts on these trucks!

71Rat · 08-19-2007, 05:04 PM

67 c-10: Thank You, i think they compliment these trucks very well... and they were also something i had laying around

HeavyD · 08-19-2007, 05:05 PM

What size are the TT's? They suit the truck very well.

71Rat · 08-19-2007, 05:19 PM

heavyd:Thank You, they are 15x8's (i forget the backspacing sorry) front and rear, tires are 255/60's on the front and 275's on the rear

see ten · 08-19-2007, 05:36 PM

I like the look! Those old school wheels look great on these old trucks!

71Rat · 08-19-2007, 05:41 PM

see ten: thank you, I like your truck and a bunch or your pictures i have saved and admire (but its more money then i got) so if you want to trade I might be willing, lol

**72 Super** · 08-19-2007, 05:49 PM

wheels definitly look great,looks to be a pretty solid truck as well.

jkaylor68gmc · 08-19-2007, 06:39 PM

Looks nice, I would love to have it!

Clean1971 · 08-19-2007, 07:09 PM

Very Nice. How much is it lowered?

71Rat · 08-19-2007, 07:28 PM

72 super: Thank you it has the usual rust PO did some half @$$ body work on it.

jkaylor68gmc: Thank You

Clean1971: Thank You, its lowered 3 inches in the front and 5 in the rear..

1LoC10 · 08-19-2007, 07:46 PM

looks real nice, I like trucks that are a little rough around the edges alot more than than the million dollar show pieces

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-19-2007, 08:30 PM

Nice ride ya got there..

**special-K** · 08-19-2007, 08:56 PM

I`m likin`it and seeing great potential in a truck that`s prdy dang kewl just as it is.Let`s talk about the rest of the truck.What motor/trans id in it?Is that original we`re lookin`at?
In the words of a conesiuer(that can`t even spell?

):Casually cool in a non-pretentious way.

71Rat · 08-19-2007, 09:40 PM

1loc10: thank you i have seen pics of your truck and i enjoy the looks it has!

frenchblue72: thank you

special-K: Thank You, Engine is a reman. 350 with who knows done to it(has an offy intake and is torquey), trans is a 3 speed manual converted to the floor, rear is something low because it doesnt enjoy highway cruising. its an old farm truck i think, was org. a 6cyl. looks to be orig paint, someone put slip on rockers on and cab corners... both poor jobs. bed floors(wood) rotting away. Plans for it are a nasty big block TH400 with manual valve body and a built rear or 9"... who cares about paint and looks if it moves and sounds nasty!

thanks everyone for the kind words, i know compared to most if not all trucks on here it is nothing to look at, but it runs and its fun to drive!

va_tlc · 08-19-2007, 10:15 PM

thats a nice truck..good stance, thats how id like mine to sit

72BlckButy · 08-20-2007, 03:12 PM

Love the truck, and the wheels just set it off that much more.

mplex2000 · 08-20-2007, 05:36 PM

I like that color, always have. The D's area also a badass classic. Especially with the fatty tires. I know most guys are going with gigantic wheels and rubber bands for tires, but I guess I'm aging fast, I like the old school stuff on the old cars (or trucks in this case).

bestchevyfan · 08-20-2007, 06:16 PM

Hi, What Did You Do To Lower It ? I Like It .it Looks Good. Later,buddy

71Rat · 08-20-2007, 08:28 PM

thanks everyone for the kind words!

Bestchevyfan: I used a 3inch drop coil in the front and a 5 inch drop coil in the rear. It was a whole kit from CCP. If I were to do it again on a daily driver or truck i was going to keep that way for a while i would use a drop spindle on the front and C notch the rear a little bit...

sleepyboy · 08-20-2007, 10:36 PM

I like the rims and stance.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-21-2007, 12:28 PM

Stance and rims work for me too! Just looks right!

72armyswbtruck · 08-22-2007, 07:58 AM

I love that stance...

c10addict · 08-22-2007, 08:09 AM

Love the looks of this truck!! I am building a shop truck and would be done if I owned this truck!! The torq thrusts make it!
