Hotrod70C10 · 10-21-2003, 01:10 AM

Isn't that blue truck a board members truck?!?! I just noticed the trans am side marker lights. It's been about a year but I know that's a board members truck..... but who?

Hooter · 10-21-2003, 01:11 AM

never even noticed the side markers, that s cool!! and clean too!

sixty8chev · 10-21-2003, 01:43 AM

and the one in the background behind the blue truck looks like N2TRUX's ride if I'm not mistaken

miket · 10-21-2003, 09:17 AM

Those trucks have narrowed rear ends and wheel tubs in the bed to allow for those wider tires...see pic of my chevelle....

They probalaby had to make some suspension mods to accept the narrowed rear end as well.

70short · 10-21-2003, 10:17 AM

Nice Chevelle!

I always thought nothing would look cooler than A 66 Chevelle tubed. with A BBC.

special70gmc · 10-21-2003, 12:48 PM

does any body know if i tub the back but dont narrow the rear axle what kinda width i can get back there? i can tub the rear rather inexpensively but i have no $ for a narrow rear though. thabks alot guys -kyle

sactoC10 · 10-21-2003, 01:34 PM

I'm guessing some 15x10's with massive 50 series tires on there, no?

Don't have my Summit catalogue with me. This site may help with tire sizes <http://www.1010tires.com/> then click around in the Tech section.

67sub · 10-21-2003, 01:37 PM

A friend is running 15x12 welds with 7.5 inch backspacing with the stock suspension only has mini tubs.

special70gmc · 10-21-2003, 07:11 PM

dinnut · 10-21-2003, 07:48 PM

it is n2trux. that red truck was in a truckin i had and lost. i looked all over for that magazine. that was one of the sweetest trucks. its one of the trucks that turned me on to 67-72 !!! got any more pics?

**N2TRUX** · 10-21-2003, 08:04 PM

The blue truck belongs to a guy from the Baytown Texas area. I talked to him at Super Chevy, where that pic was taken. Yes, his truck is tubbed and the rear end narrowed. Nice truck, with a really nice owner.

I think I have a pic of the red truck here somewhere....

are those pics reduced from the originals? do you have the originals? could you email them to dinnut@earthlink.net PLEASE

miket · 10-21-2003, 08:28 PM

If you don't narrow the rear but tub or mini tub the bed you should be able to get a variety of meats under there provided you have some custom offset or backspacing. I got 345/55/15's on 15X10's under my stock 71 longbed....it was tight. Check out my site for pics.

There are some pics of my 68 stepside. The back half of the frame was cut off, and a Chris Alston Laddder bar frame was added. The rear tire size is 33x19x15.
