look like Boss 338 wheels they dont make 22's in those so i'd say there 20's...however they do look big for 20's....

Mikedub82 · 04-14-2011, 09:51 AM

They are 20's. I would have used 22's in the back. I am keeping the stepside bed.

great project. what are your plans for the bed floor?

Mikedub82 · 04-18-2011, 11:37 AM

I am going to raise the bed floor to cover the notch, compressors, and tank. I am replacing the old wood with new wood. I should have that done with pics in about 2 weeks.

tcb-1 · 04-18-2011, 09:55 PM

Mikedub82 · 04-20-2011, 11:36 PM

Picked up the new tilt steering column and power steering gear box. Captainfabs gear box plate should be here this week. Can't wait its getting close to having this thing back on the road.

DZL1 · 04-22-2011, 11:45 AM

Mikedub82 · 04-22-2011, 02:45 PM

The power steering gear box plate just got here, thanks Captainfab. Drilled out the plastic pins in the steering shaft to shorten. I plan on putting the column and gear box in Saturday. I will post pics once its in.

shrunken66stroker · 04-23-2011, 12:22 PM

sweet build.

roofingbloke · 04-24-2011, 01:23 PM

Question, If you have done a 2.5" Z i the frame will you need to make the transmission tunnel up the same ammount,

Mikedub82 · 04-25-2011, 10:04 AM

I have the trans tunnel cut out now, once I put the engine and transmission back in I will make a tunnel for it.

I got the power steering gear box on last night with the column. I used a 1984 chevy truck column with tilt. A little mods got the column to fit right and its not to long. The shaft colapsed enough to make it work, even with the 2.5z the steering shft does not touch the upper control arm. will post pics later.

csa daddy · 04-27-2011, 02:48 PM

are you laying frame on that truck . if not how far are you from laying it out on the ground .looks sick for sure

Mikedub82 · 04-27-2011, 03:29 PM

The frame is not laying out. It's about 1/2 in from being on the ground. Should have went 3in on the Z, but everyone said 2.5in max due to other issues with going that low.

csa daddy · 04-28-2011, 10:57 AM

so if i did a 2.5 z an 3 inch spindles it should lay out.correct what if i chop the crossmemeber down 1.5 inches. also how tall are the tires on your 20s.
