A few new pics of the 83. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I traded wheels/tires with an FSC member. They are 15x8" Eagle 171's w/3.75" BS on 275/60/15 BFG t/a's. I'm going to get 235/60/15 BFG t/a's for the front and take the current front tires and save them for when the rears need to be replaced. The front has too much tire but I think the rears look perfect.

Finally got the hood fitted right thanks to Grego and the hood spring retainer.

Yeah I know, I hadn't updated it in so long it deleted itself.

I'm going to be setting up a new page soon w/ lots more pics and more details on the airbag install and other mods.

Looks good. What color are you going to paint it?

Low87 · 06-11-2003, 09:48 AM

Looks sweet Izzyo! Is that the infamous garage you guys discovered?

LOHRTBT · 06-11-2003, 10:23 AM

Damn.....I am in disbelief!! From the Supa Dope Tri's that were 16's to some 15's

LOL, the tri's were only on this truck on one side for like 1 hour to take pics. I'm gonna have them as spare soon since the wife's getting 17" TTII's for her rig.

BigRed · 06-11-2003, 11:26 AM

Looks good! Can't wait to see it with paint!

VetteCityBowtie · 06-11-2003, 11:48 AM

Wow. That looks like a totally different truck. I like it

TIMSPEED · 06-11-2003, 12:29 PM

That's what I'm saying. Definately looks dop izzy! For some reason, it doesn't look as "slammed" as it used to..guess it's just the nice wheels and paint

It's the tires up front. It will lay out harder once I get the new tires out front and complete the new backhalf on the rear.

Izzy,
Looks sweet. Glad to hear you are keeping it too.

bigblock73 · 06-11-2003, 06:53 PM

Izzy, I can't wait to see it when you get the paint and flames!!

Glad you are keeping it too, you would have regretted selling it...trust me!

Looks great Izzy. How long before you get that thing painted?

Probably after Texas Heatwave in late July. I'm not gonna have time before then. I'll lay the black easily in a weekend but I'm still drawing out designs for the paint since I'll be laying it myself.
