Unless he changes his mind he is going to run Billet Specialties "VinTec" 20's. I'll let him fill you in on the backspace info....

**lolife99** · 12-27-2005, 11:47 PM

N2TRUX,... who do you guys use for a Billet Specialties dealer? I'm looking for some 18's for an S10 job I'm working on.

n2billet · 12-28-2005, 12:11 AM

We (Stoked Out Specialties) are a dealer for Billet Specialties so that's the reason all my cars/trucks have them

The wheels that are going on the 68 are 20x8.5 with 5.75 BS for the front
and 20x10 with 4.75 BS for the rear. I'm getting Vintec's Deep Dish Soft Lips.

The motor got pulled out today so it could be detailed, I've got to stop before I tear it down to the frame!

Wow man nice truck N2 billet!!! also nice 77 n2trux i thought i saw that some were...hmmm nice chevy man. any picks on the dressup of that six???
I got a chance to was and glaze and wax my 84 since it was 40 today here in MA. also put on the car cover i got from my cousion for x mass. i am planning on driving the truck to the gas station this weekend and filling the tanks and adding sabil so i can put the cover back on and put her in the garadge for the winter. However that all is depending on these dammm salty roads. If they are wet or there is freash salt this little 84 is going NO were

apstguy · 12-28-2005, 01:46 AM

I got the last dash billet piece so now my billet on the interior is all complete! I'll eventually get the billet pedals but I'll wait until it is no longer my daily driver so I won't wear the pedals out. I'll have to get pics (but It is dark already) with my new digital camera (bought it for myself for Birthmas {dec. birthdays will sympothize} a Nikon 7900.)

DirtyLarry · 12-28-2005, 01:49 AM

A buddy and I spend Christmas afternoon ripping apart the 14 bolt FF and Dana 44 in my K10 in preparation for 4.56 gears, front Detroit Truetrac and rear Detroit locker. The front Truetrac spinning 36” Superswampers is surely to wipe out a U-joint, an axle or something on the next wheeling outing.

I spent 4 hours and 7 beers tonight doing "manly dishes" in the solvent tank to clean all of the goods before reassembly.

Hmmm? That does not look like the brushed on POR 15 that you talked about. Surely your not taking this "quickie" project to the next level....are you?

SCOTI · 12-29-2005, 01:40 AM

Keith, I'm off for a few days.
Give me a shout when you get out to the shop. I wanted to see if Roger had a 'bolt-kit' for a sbc w/the poly v.covers.

Brandon the truck "was" done, but that was last year. The motor was suckin gas, but not haulin @ss and starting to blow smoke on start up. I decided to replace the motor with a Ramjet 350. Of course one thing has lead to another...

The Blazer has had an LS1 in it for two years. It has been on stand by until the 77 gets "re-" finished....
