dhughins · 02-01-2008, 06:19 AM

slowrider tell us more. how low? what size tires?

74slowrider · 02-01-2008, 07:25 AM

as u know its a 74, it has air ride suspension the frame is c notched, its tubbed, has a 500ci caddy motor, 30 gal fuel cell, weld pro stars fronts are 235/60/15, rears 275/60/15. if you look close enough at the 3rd pic, u can see where my exhaust exits from the side of the bed. thats about it for now.

baggedcten · 02-01-2008, 09:34 AM

Bobby86 · 02-03-2008, 03:20 PM

Cut 2 1/2 coils on the front and notched the frame in the rear and done a flip with 3" blocks.Running 215/60/15 up front and 255/70/15in the rear.

How's the ride on it? rough or ok? Any problems with turning and tire rub?

I love the stance of it, cheap and easy drop I think.

Bobby86 · 02-05-2008, 10:59 AM

No tire rub at all.It has a good ride to it,considering how low it sits.Going Monday for a front alingment.Sure does take a curve alot better now.

New to the boards and just wanted to post up my baby. Next thing shes getting is a new stance, 6/6 drop.

Smoke_Dog · 02-15-2008, 09:33 AM

Here's my son and I, first project together! A 1984 Silverado, which look allot worst before the clean-up, by previous owner! Can't post pics for some reason? Please help!

Benoit454, who are you directing your question to?

Smoke_Dog · 02-16-2008, 04:28 AM

Let's try to post pictures again!

benoit454 · 02-16-2008, 05:34 AM

I was asking partspieces where he got that ground eefects on the bottom of the truck he posted with the flames. I figured the pics would quote to but I guess not lol sorry

killthewabbit · 02-16-2008, 09:42 PM

Looks like it cleaned up pretty good on the outside, Smoke

SulphurDave · 02-17-2008, 06:02 AM

Mine at 98% done!

MotorHead Lon · 02-17-2008, 06:17 AM

I had my truck posted before but I did not like the angle of the picture. This is the best picture I have of it.

1984 GMC Sierra. AirRide Tech Strong Arms up front and AirRide Tech universal 4 bar in back.

I have never found wheels I like for this truck so for the time being I have the factory 15x6 steelies and 225/70 on the front and 255/70 on the back. I need a shorter tire up front.

Hi G-old,

What exactly are the sizes of that rims and tires you got on your great truck ? (width, backspacing, manufacturer) ????
What kinda parts did you use to drop it that way (spindles, springs, shackles ...).

I would appreciate getting any more information bout your truck !!!

Thanks a lot,

Rob

andresco50 · 02-20-2008, 11:47 AM

killthewabbit · 02-20-2008, 11:12 PM

My suggestion is slam it with a dropmember and get some sweet coys or CL205s in 20/22s

Nice original truck there.
