She don't get a lot of attention!!!!!!

72GMCburban · 10-06-2007, 07:58 PM

I like the stance. Did you put a drop kit on it? If so what's ya do?

**Tim Christian** · 10-06-2007, 08:43 PM

We lowered it with the McGaughys drop stuff we sale. We have 2-1/2in drop spindals with a 1in drop spring in the front and a 5in drop spring in the rear.

**uncle** · 10-06-2007, 10:10 PM

I'd give it a 2nd look,just cause I've got that disease. That's what a parts chaser is supposed to look like anyway.

72GMCburban · 10-06-2007, 10:57 PM

Did you have to mod the rear shock mounts with the 5" drop?

Longhorn Man · 10-07-2007, 01:01 AM

yeah... what size tires are those? And what all did you have to do for the rear? I think i like that stance.

earl87gta · 10-07-2007, 02:30 AM

Thats way cooler then the red 4x4 burb you use to have. I like the door work. I seen it sitting at your shop on the way to Woodridges wish I could have stopped in and take a look at it. I need to go for a cruz out your way on the bike before it gets cold out if its going to get cold out this year.

**Tim Christian** · 10-07-2007, 08:57 AM

I used McGaughys shocks all the way around but it could use a shock relocater kit in the rear to help straighten the angle on the rear shocks up. But they don't offer one I will have to get it somewere else. It is very close to the bump stops in the rear also. The tires are 255/70/15 all the way around the rear are just fine the front does rub a little when you are turning steep fine going straight.

Longhorn Man · 10-07-2007, 01:38 PM

stock panhard bar? What do the springs cost through you to 43228? (just checkin at the moment, but in the plans) How does it ride?

Longhorn Man · 10-07-2007, 01:39 PM

mannnn.... I sound like an FNG.

72armyswbtruck · 10-08-2007, 02:49 AM

So now that you have the burb, this is where your hangin out.

Don't worry I should be the proud owner of a burb if everything else works out.

**Tim Christian** · 10-08-2007, 08:49 PM

Hey Long Horn Man, It rides great in my opinon. It has the factory panhard bar and the springs run $120.00 a set. Tim

Longhorn Man · 10-08-2007, 11:07 PM

not too shabby.
I'm bookmarking this for when the time comes. thanks.

Why is the roof not rusted like the the hood? Nice ride height. The whole truck looks cool.

In TN we train our rust to only effect easily replaceable parts.

Looks like you`ve been in the Classic GM business for quite some time.

My Sub has the same paint scheme, and did the same thing...my guess is, that the white paint on the roof reflected enough sunlight/heat to keep it from oxidizing as bad as the blue paint on the hood/fender tops...my the paint is mostly burnt through on my Sub as well. Just a theory, of course.

**67 cst swb** · 10-09-2007, 04:34 PM

Nice shop truck....

5150 · 10-09-2007, 10:11 PM

Looks great Tim, did the same guy that did your buddy's orange truck do the painting??

5150 · 10-09-2007, 10:16 PM

oh, I forgot. That cab looks familiar

**special-K** · 10-12-2007, 06:15 AM

Some guys paint flames on the front end to signify a hot motor laying under the hood.This is a more realistic approach,part of the patina fad...all these guys going back and trying to make their rigs look all old and unrestored...whatever
