coony278 · 01-24-2004, 04:18 PM

Well I want to start off by saying i really like this site , lots of great info. Been hovering around here for about a month. But i traded off my 72 project truck for an 86 truck that is more my style 4X4. here's a pic of it let me know what you guys think. i have some things planned for it. But pretty much just some minor things. Thanks for a great site guys !!!

coony278 · 01-24-2004, 04:19 PM

coony278 · 01-24-2004, 04:20 PM

Russell · 01-24-2004, 04:44 PM

Nice!

r0lf- · 01-24-2004, 05:11 PM

Lemmie guess? 6" + 3" Body lift?

Prerunner1982 · 01-24-2004, 05:31 PM

those are some skinny swampers... LTBs? nice truck though...

C&C Chevy · 01-24-2004, 05:56 PM

Welcome to the board. Killer 4x4 you have there! Any details on it?

87 STEPPER · 01-24-2004, 06:12 PM

That's a good lookin' truck ya have there.

And welcome to the board.

bigblock73 · 01-24-2004, 06:48 PM

Nice truck, I love the look! Glad the tires aren't too fat, I personally think lifted trucks with large tires that stick halfway (or all the way) out of the wheel well look corny.

Tell us more about the truck!

Lynx · 01-24-2004, 08:08 PM

Nice truck!

coony278 · 01-24-2004, 10:14 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, and yes them tires are the new 38.5 x 11.00- 15 super swamper tires. They kinda skinny looking at first but the more i look at them i think the more i like them. Plus they are also lighter being narrow and easier on the truck. The truck is a 86 silverado with 700r4 trans with the stock 305 still in place with ice cold air conditioner , wich means alot in the south. It has 8 inch suspension lift and i think the body lift is 2 1/2 " from my measurments. One of the first things i will do is raise the bumpers up so they look right. Thanks for the compliments and comments! Constructive critism is always helpful too.

And i might as well throw another pic at you all.

*1FaastC10* · 01-24-2004, 10:52 PM

Jon, i should come down there and smack you. those arent LTB's!!! those are Boggers!
BEAUTIFUL truck. if mine were going to stay straight, i'd consider painting it black.

Prerunner1982 · 01-25-2004, 01:29 AM

bring it on boy.....yeah i dont know what i was thinking... just looked oddly small..... my bad... will have to change my user text back to "village idiot".

CRRoy71 · 01-25-2004, 08:20 AM

Nice lookin' truck.

Low87on20s · 01-25-2004, 09:00 AM

Beautiful example of a 4x4! Welcome from Atlanta.

Blue Beard · 01-25-2004, 09:48 AM

Welcome to the board from Washington State.........

Nice ride.

Jonboy · 01-25-2004, 12:30 PM

that is a gorgeous truck! On the brighter side, the skinnier tires are a big help in mud, where you want the height but nit the width to drag through. Sounds like it is time to swap a 350 or 383 in, though.

coony278 · 01-25-2004, 12:41 PM

yeah, a 350 is for sure in the future !!!!!!

chevychic · 01-28-2004, 04:48 PM

SWEET truck!

Welcome from Southern Oregon!!

**Captkaos** · 01-28-2004, 04:57 PM

An excellent example of a 4x4 that I like. Don't think I could stand the swampers on the street, but it looks sweet!

*Zilverado* · 01-28-2004, 05:40 PM

Welcome from the North. You'll love it here.

Oh I almost forgot...that is a VERY NICE looking truck. I love the monochrome black (thank goodness for A/C). And those tires look like a whole lot of fun, especially once they're powered by a 350.
