Damon23 · 04-06-2013, 07:14 PM

Looks really really good. I'm working on my drop right now. I need to go buy a cut off tool to notch the bed rails underneath to clear the shackles. After that I'm done. I like the wheel choice.

Thanks for all the compliments! I've been working hard the last few weeks! I believe there was already one leaf removed when I got the truck. The rear actually sat a little lower than the front. So I removed another and did the lowering shackles. The left side was actually sitting higher, So I got the adjustible 1" or 2" shackles. Left is on 2" and right is set at 1" It rides just as good as it looks too!

I ended up having to run wheel adapter spacers on the rear. It currently has 1.25" but I have 1.5" on the way.

The front are ok. I could put a small 1/4 spacer in to bring them out. Not sure if I am going to.

Tires are Toyo Proxie 2. 295/40/20 Rear / 255/40/20 Front

Joe69C10 · 04-07-2013, 04:15 PM

Believe it or not, this is all original paint from 77. If I took some close ups, you could see where the paint is thin from being buffed on.

The cab corners look like they may have had a little work done to them, besides that shes 100% original. Had a topper on it all its life so the bed is on perfect shape.

69GMC910 · 04-07-2013, 04:16 PM

What are the offsets? Are you running the spacers due to the offset not being what you desired?

Joe69C10 · 04-07-2013, 04:18 PM

Front: (2) 20x8 - (4.50" Backspace, 3" Lip)

Rear: (2) 20x9.5 - (5.25" Backspace, 4.5" Lip)

I am running 1.25" spacers in the rear currently. But have a set of 1.5" on the way.
