Any info on this truck?

[ChrisDollins]

Was just looking through google images and found a few pics of this awesome truck and hadn't seen it on the forum before. Would like to know what size wheels/tires and if hes on coils and not bags, how low it is. I figure you guys that have seen hundreds of these trucks can probably get me close. I just cant seem to find what I'm looking for.

I am going to say 62 with a gmc grill and it is a standard cab. Most likely a c10. Looks to be on bags. They have done custom work obviously.

[1963chevyc20]

No. I am sorry. I think it is a gmc on decking thought.

[jtrichard]

well it is NOT a 62 it is 64 65 or 66 most likely a gmc .....grill and hood are at least

[1963chevyc20]

I deal like an idiot! Didn't look at the doors or wind shield.

I would guess it has bags because of the RideTeck logo on the side. But I think you should be able to get that same stance with coils. The rear is definitely tubbed. You might want to go to one of the sponsors web sights. They might have the info on it.

[1963chevyc20]

But yes. Hood and grill are gmc and the lenses on the hood are off of a 72 or custom made.

Yea figured the front end treatment was different from factory, but great looking truck none the less. I just really like tire and wheel fitment and truck height. Been wanting to change mine up, and go more pt route.

Didn't know if the logos on the side were from the event or actual sponsor for the truck. Really figure its just from the event sponsors. But that height could definitely be replicated with coils/bolt ons. Tires look shorter than 28's to me. What do you think? 17's with 26's or 18's with 27's or 28's? Or bigger? I can't tell.

Thanks joedoh! Second link has wheel/tire info. The fronts are 18x8 with 245/40. Only comes out to just under a 26" tire. Rears are 18x11 with 295/35 just a little over 26". 26" tire sizes are easier to come up with, glad they look good. Just have to get the truck low enough. Thanks for the help guys.

Lenses on the hood are stock 62 (not for sure) they only came white 1 year but I like the way they look.....so used them on my 66.....


the grill is of course custom....

Needs to put a nitrous 572 in that thing..get some real times in the 1/4. lol Nice truck!

[familyfast64]

Yeah I agree, there 60s turn signals and early 60s grill. I have that set up on my truck. I really like the white body and painted darker grille. My truck has the opposite scheme going. Hey my wife bought me a cheap shirt and it has a pic of our truck with a crazy grill I have never seen...

I know it's just a shirt but had anyone seen a front end like that? Check out the hood and lights.... Definitely different.

[familyfast64]

I've seen the hood before on that orange truck from another country. Never seen two big and two small lights before tho.. even the roof line is different, but man I swear it's our truck tho...

[ChrisDollins]

Yea that looks like it could be one of those Brazilian c10's. I wonder if the shirt maker changed up the trucks some to keep from having to get permission from Chevrolet? Looks like all the trucks are a little off from factory. Unless they are all Brazilian, or something other than we're use too haha.

Yea, at least a cam and a bump in compression for sure! Article said he had an LS3 in the works. How much more does a BBC weight over an iron or aluminum LS? Since he's doing the autocross thing, I'm sure that's a factor. We're already nose heavy lol.

Clear lenses are readily available. I bought a set at Classic Parts about a month ago. 72 lenses are nothing like the '64-66
