New shoes! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_C-30 · 01-12-2008, 03:35 PM

I picked my truck from the tire shop when I got off this evening, but as you tell, it was too dark for the pics to turn out any better. We have been working so much I haven't time to clean up the truck in weeks!

I know blackwalls are the norm these days, but I love the look of the RWL BF G's. I put 275/60's on the rear and 255/60's on front and a brand new set of the wide 8" Corvette Rally beauty rings. I got him to leave off the center caps because mine are filthy and I'm thinking about going with a smaller center cap than the big factory ones that came on the 6 lug rallys. I have a new set of ECE drop springs that I'm going to put it whenever I can get some time off. Just the tires and rings made a huge difference in the look of it. Sorry the pics are so crappy, but I should be able to get better ones this weekend.

Looks good, It'll look even better lowered.

sb69chevy · 01-12-2008, 03:57 PM

Those are very nice. I love the BFGs. That's what I'll hopefully get next.

HavinSomeFun · 01-12-2008, 04:01 PM

Looks great, I look forward to lowered pics. What drop are you going to do?

slammed1 · 01-12-2008, 04:03 PM

I really like lowered short wides with 6 lug ralleys,they have a look that cant be beat.

Yep that was me! I would have come over and spoke if I had seen you. Yes, I'd like to look at it. Did you ever get it home, or is it still at Jerry's?

I ordered 2/4 springs. I think that is going to be the perfect stance for me since I do still use the truck.

samwise68 · 01-12-2008, 05:01 PM

she should look really good leveled out then.

EyeH8the24 · 01-12-2008, 05:24 PM

corn · 01-12-2008, 05:42 PM

I like 6 hole rallys with no caps. Your truck looks sharp...

**SactoJim** · 01-12-2008, 06:36 PM

Very astute response...Yes, back in the late 60's and early 70's RWL were the fad of the day. I too like he look of RWL on 67_C-30's truck. Is that a 69 or 70? I get them missed up. I do like those shoes!

68C15 · 01-13-2008, 02:51 AM

what's next? 4" drop, long side pipes and a moon visor? I think that would be cool.

what if you were to paint the center of the rallys body color?

ChevLoRay · 01-13-2008, 08:04 AM

Yeah, I like rallye's with T/A's....like on my truck. By the way, this is what it looked like right before I dropped it off for body/paint.

It's a '69.

Its getting a TPI'ed 350 and new paint hopefully all before summer. I'm really hoping to make the board meet in it.

Looks good. Hope your 6 bangers aren't getting jealous.

SunTzu · 01-13-2008, 04:23 PM

Going to get some tomorrow. It was dark before I got done again today.

67_C-30 · 01-14-2008, 02:04 PM

I drove across the raod to river this evening and snapped a few pics of the truck in the daylight.

I got a PM about the width of the rear rim, and here are the up close pics of the rear rim. As I said, it is only a regular 15 X 8 4X4 Rally, but I'm running an 1 1/4" spacer to achieve the wide look. They are just barely inside the outer wheel lips.

67_C-30 · 01-14-2008, 02:06 PM

I have to get some stuff boxed up tomorrow, but if I get done in time, I'm hoping to be able to put the drop springs on it tomorrow evening!
