you can definetely see how the axles are aligned more properly in the wheel wells...chassis and drive train were tweaked really well...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Stock 4x4's are so rare around here I never noticed the wheel placement problem.

I put them where they looked right when I set up my 67 4x4 conversion.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

I am not a real expert in matters like tire sizes etc...I did a slight suspension lift ...as mentioned before...I have 235 X16" on the truck now(as pictured)...how big can I go?? 265 or 285's??

just looking for a bigger tire to ride on the beach...and of course a bit cooler ride/look...well at least I am honest...LOL...walmart has the goodyears (ATV) in those sizes...and there is a wal mart about 25 miles from here...about 800 bucks for a set...what do you think???

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

I like the tread on the Walmart Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires and they have a 265/75-16 load range E tire available for $189 plus install. It is what I will be putting on my 67 when I get to that point.

It should fit your truck with the lift you have. It will be just under 32" tall. The tires on my 67 in the above pic are 32x11.50-15's for reference.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

thats the same tread I was talking about...and the price is good too!

thanks for the reply...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

285's might work.... they are like a 33

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

I run a 255x85x16 on my dually it is a narrow 33 would look really good on a stock type wheel.

Here's mine.

sorry. Double Post

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

nice truck...my wife wants me to get a pair of those stirrups so she can get in easier...what kind of shock is that going across the front end??

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

no clue. i bought it pretty much like this. i just added the grille and lights

fixing rear cab mounts
 

I have two rubber mounts that are shot( the rear ones under the seat) I made up some solid rubber "hockey pucks" to put in the place of the sag...and ideas out there on removing the nut/bolt that holds them in place...

have dosed the spots up good w/ liquid wrench...anyone out there fixed this before...any have a heads up on any possible problems...thanks...t

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_7920.jpg

ones side droops about 1 " the other maybe 3/4"...probably not a big deal...but it does drive me crazy...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Yaeh back when I was in college (ie broke) I made some by cutiing up litttle squares out of an old tire and they worked good to level everything backout. I am from texas so I have never touched a Hockey puck but it sounds like a goood fix as long as its not to hard (stiff). As far as the botls you will have to have a back up inside the cab and you may have to remove your seat. May try an impact wrench 1st just to see if it would bust then off before taking you seat out but I doubt it will. Probably a good time to go ahead and replace the bolts and nuts as well. I always use grade 8 bolts for this.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

thanks for the info...I was trying to avoid taking out the seat...will do as you suggested...am I to understand that the threads are not a stud? but goes through the lower cab? w/ a nut underneath...so a box wrench or similar has to be attached under the seat ( to hold bolt)to get it loose if an impact alone does not work on the lower nut?

I have looked at drawings in the LMC catalog and its not that clear how it is attached...

thanks again...t

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Noticed you have after market head lights. How do you like them? Thinking of those and mods to HID....
Thanks

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

That are amazing. I have them in both my C10s

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

wow ive never been much of a stepside fan,but i might have to rethink that!
nice truck! :c2:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

The rear cab mount fasteners are just a 6" long bolt that comes in from the bottom on a 1/2-ton. A little longer on a 3/4-ton but still comes in from the bottom the same way. The nut is captive and up in the body and does not need to be accessed at all to get the rear cab mounts out.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

:lol: Unless you live around here and have to cut the nut off to get the bolt out to get the cab off. :lol: Thank you rust. :mm:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Even on my gmc (central texas truck) the bolt was froze in the nut witch spun around in the retainer. It was just a bad design.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Hadn't thought about that. None of the trucks I have had were rusty in that area. Guess I have been lucky.

It is definitely a poor design. I guess you could convert it to a thru bolt design like the front cab mount if it twists in place or breaks off.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Well at least they aren't like the 73-87's. You have to cut the floor of the cab to access the nut whet it spins in the retainer.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

I just cut a little hole in the rear cab support right behind the nut with a cutoff tool then welded it solid.
