Anyone know the setup on this truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chuckmc8 · 12-16-2008, 09:33 PM

I ran across this photo looking thru past posts and wondered if anyone knew the paticulars as to suspension drop/method and wheel and tire size. Looks like the rear wheels must 12" or so....are the wheelwells widened?

big_al_71 · 12-16-2008, 09:34 PM

I saw that truck on ebay some time ago....That truck is a piece of Art!!!! Big $$$$$

greystoke · 12-16-2008, 09:42 PM

I've seen this truck for sale on ebay, I can't remember the particulars except it is a full on show truck, his buy it now was like....don't faint 125k

Painter D · 12-16-2008, 09:42 PM

The wheel tubs are widened I do know that. As far as the susp. I can't recall the specs. I am pretty sure it had air ride on it though.

Funny , the guy that owned ,that truck lived about 1 mile away from me (literally) ,and I never knew it until about a month before he sold it.

Good luck rebuilding this truck.... unless you have some serious $$$$ backing your build.

I've got a ton more pics of this truck, if you would like to have them emailed to you, shoot me your email in a pm, and I will send them out.

As far as the suspension, it is running on air.

my67chevytruck · 12-16-2008, 10:23 PM

Habanero..... THE original owner owned a silk screen company ....

I believe it had airride and he told me the crew at Stoked out Specialties in rockwall TX built it for him

68 short step · 12-16-2008, 10:56 PM

yes the stoked out crew built it up, i saw this truck in person once when i visited stoked out, it was getting the brakes done, or something like that....but it was a sweeeeeeet ride....it was tubbed (like said) and the wheels were 20x15 (IIRC) on 20s on the front too (IIRC)..the rear was a ford 9" also i beleive, tan interior, it was a bad mamajama indeed...

thanks for the link that truck rocks !!!

chevychase · 12-17-2008, 08:27 PM

Nice truck indeed with a 502. The article mentioned a power rear window.

**sportsman712000** · 12-17-2008, 11:51 PM

Here are a few more pics of it. I found it on a site a few months back before the Barrett Jackson auction. You can pull up the sell list from the Las Vegas sale and it was a steal for someone because it sold for $50,000!!!!

LuckyHenriksen · 12-17-2008, 11:56 PM

I love that truck! I have the CCT article spread open and tacked to the wall in my garage for inspiration.

killer71 · 01-04-2009, 06:52 PM

i love that fat lip!

Nothing wrong with wanting to build a truck like that,if you did want to.No one knows what you can and can`t do.

PanelDeland · 01-04-2009, 08:17 PM

IIRC that truck is refered to in some cases as "The Fesler Built" It is a top notch build.

That is incorrect. Fesler built a similar truck, not that one.

Mondo · 01-04-2009, 10:17 PM

that's the nicest truck interior I ever saw... love the full door panels and dash

Pretty clean truck.

You can put a 15" wide wheel out back using a stock frame? What about the rearend?

You can fit 15" total width rims (15x14's) w/o modifying the frame (other than removing the outer rear bumpstops). You can narrow the housing or you can leave it alone & have custom back-space wheels built. The rear on that truck was a slightly narrowed 9" IIRC.

Blitz · 01-12-2009, 04:37 PM

So with, let's say, a 20x15" rim would you be ok or is that "narrowed rearend" territory? I'm assuming if it even is, you'd be looking at very little (if any) lip to the rim. And fitting those under a stock bed is another story. LOL
