New wheels on 2 of my Chevys! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just recently bought both sets on my Chevys. The left is my daily and the tow rig. I'm still far from them being done but so close!

Both look good especially the green one whats the spec on the suspension

cool !!!! need more pictures!!!

Did it the poor boy way! The front is a Z, 3in spindles, and stock arms. The rear is a 3/4 back half, 12in notch, 8 valves and they are hidden, super pivot 4-link for the awesome side to side lol. I kept the lower bars to the outside of frame so I can't run a deep wheels but I didn't want to go for superfluous.

The '95 stepside is cheap but I'll be doing a 3-link with the 3rd being a watts link because it's my tow rig for the '67 and my drag truck. It's able to lay on 22's and has ac still. The front on it is a little nicer, I'm running stock spindles and upper and lower arms off a 1ton. It's my beater truck for work and I use it.

This pic is after it was first done, and it has 20's. That's why the notch is overly massive lol.

Both look sick. I just sold my BD'd dually tow pig so I can finish my 68. It shut everyone up who said bagged trucks arent trucks anymore cuz it cant handle a trailer. Just dont do what i did and drag a bumber bolt off and smash the windshield on your trailered truck. Happy Draggin!!

Haha there's a reason all big rigs on the road are going to air, they ride better, handle better, and hold up better, air is just better. We wanna haul more we flip a switch.

yup. Thats what I'd tell em. take a look under a semi, what do you see? BAGS. My c30layin rockers hauled so much smoother than my new cummins 3500. Anyways, nice work on the trucks. Must be hard deciding which one to drive to work in the morning.

I haven't installed rear shocks yet, and I had a freeze plug rust out so until I get those fixed I can't drive it. It'll be a part time driver though.
