tcb-1 · 05-07-2009, 06:24 AM

both trucks are niiiiiice!! great pics!

72BlckButy · 05-07-2009, 07:49 AM

petey... I'm trying to remember are those trucks bagged or staticly dropped?

And, I like the wheel change on the '71. The only question... is he going to upgrade the '72 wheels now?

Jim_PA · 05-07-2009, 07:53 AM

gintaras · 05-07-2009, 11:38 PM

He is going to put Rallye Wheels on it like these on my truck....

72BlckButy · 05-08-2009, 11:35 PM

Thanks for the information petey-pablo. I think the ralleyes will really be fitting for that truck.

Did he run into any issues with the 5/6 on the blue truck and running 22's? I know it's only a .5" difference but still... sometimes that's all it takes.

Yup the front wheel wells were removed they rubbed too much but on the Red & White truck they fit fine I drove it at Street & highway speeds and I didn't notice any Rubbing at all even when turning.

Here's a third for ya. I like everything in proportion and those wheels and skinny sidewall tires just throw everything off for me.

I'd say your lucky to still have the truck. I think it may have been easier for them to take the whole thing.

Hope you still have the old rims.

I'm also in the "like the old school look" crowd.

What sucks was the battery had died earlier in the week so he took it off the truck so the Alarm didnt even work at the time.
