Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

Softpatch - I asked him the same question in the "How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66" section. His reply:

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...&postcount=472

"Thanks fellas. The wheels are Appliance tru-spoke fine wires, 15x10 in the back and 15x8 in the front. I've had them for years and they were pretty rusty so I had them repaired and respoked. Appliance has been out of business for years. I can't find a new wheel that is the same. Tires are 295's x50's in the back and 245'sx50's in the front, but I think I will go to a 60 series tire in the front. The front is dropped 4 1/2 inches - 2 1/2inch drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs. The back is dropped 4 inches with 4" drop springs."

Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

mixermike, really nice looking truck. Love the simple, clean lines. What are your tire and rim sizes?
Fastest32, really like yours, also. Any specs on the drop and how you achieved it and tire/rim size?

Congrats! Solid looking find. The back-up lights were optional through the years, however they became standard in '66.
